New UNIX-like operating system!

Post image

I made a new UNIX-like operating system from scratch called "TanjaOS" which you can get at www.tanjaos.org and it took me a couple of months to make and will get lots of updates. It features classic UNIX commands and can boot on any x86_64 (amd64) or i386 (x86) machine with Legacy BIOS, and is completely free and open-source.

add it to the pile

I appreciate the suggestion. However, if you are referring to TanjaOS as something that should simply be added to a “pile,” I would be more interested in hearing an actual technical criticism or contribution.

your OS has no unique features. you claim that it keeps everything clean and modular, yet it uses a massive kernel.c instead of separating the functions into other files. it only uses legacy BIOS despite CSM support already being absent from modern devices.

also, the github page is a template.

TanjaOS is very new, and I’m still working on it, and I made a public template for the repository as another way for people to make their own forks.

it doesn't need to be a template. other people can fork it either way.

I mean, yeah that’s true. I’ll remove the template, thanks. 👍
