Cool, but we had Kolibri OS for years now, which has a lot more development going and more features.

I wonder if you could get this working on Raspberry Pi...

because its written in x86 assembly and not ARM, no. it would require almost an entire rewrite to get it working

an OS fully built on assembly, i have to admit that is brave and amazing, even more that it keep on it for 10 years

this is one of the greatest thing that has happened to me recently, and it happened on this forum, those involved have my eternal gratitude http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/198850-update-alex-got-his-moto-g2-lets-get-a-moto-g-for-alexgoeshigh-unofficial/ :')

i use to have the second best link in the world here, but it died ;_; its a 404 now but it will always be here

Holy crap... I would kill myself if I had to write an entire OS in assembly... I know some people in the past had to and I am truly very sorry for them :P (not that it is bad, it is just tedious as fuck...)

Fits on a floppy lol. 10 years ago that was relevant, now not so much.

Wonder if I could get it running in VMWare or HyperX?

its not relevant spacewise, but its great to see in just how little space you can have a fullfledged OS

Oh yeah, certainly not questioning the achievement. Just thought it was funny how it was really relevant when they began and when they finish its so irrelevant.

That's a lot of time and effort spent writing an OS in assembly. Thank god for abstraction.

What da fuq? I haven't seen a pure assembly code written OS in over a decade. What sort of self-loathing person does this? :lol:

well this will execute almost an order of magnitude faster though, so there is that.

well this started 10 years ago, so... :P yeah... not something i would do, but definitely impressive. the most ive seen anyone use assembler was on a competition, where time taken for execution was taken into account

I dont think assembly coding if viable for windows sized os that said and it cant be ported cross platform at all. But this a cool experiment and looks great for integrated systems.

it is viable, but not for most of us.

If you have a program, that does not run up to speed as the OS is too slow, then this is your go to solution

Then again, "slow" OS does not usually a problem, and if it is, it is usually user error

Written entirely in Assembly? Awesome! From what I can see the precision this gave them has let them make a really fast OS

THIS IS AMAZING

This OS is so blazing fast I'm actually able to virtualise it on Macbook Air with a 1.6Ghz i5 Sandy Bridge giving it 512mb of RAM... Absolutely no lag at all

Big companies like MS, apple or google should have done this already. if these man could make OS like this in 10 years, they can make windows like OS given same time. Imagine Windows OS written in almost 100% assembly. that would be sooooooo fucking fast. Oh my god that must be happening somewhere in  parallel universe on alternative earth. 

Computer users fall into two groups:
those that do backups
those that have never had a hard drive fail.

They really can't. Abstraction allows you to code for many different pieces of hardware.

 

For some things, it makes sense to write a subroutine in assembly and call it from C/C++, because it'll be faster. This is usually the case with specialized software/hardware, especially in the signal processing world.
