I've been considering implementing all software by myself, getting rid of everything, OS included. Is it possible, or am I crazy?

It's possible, but it will take a very long time and nothing impressive will result. But it can be enjoyable and educational. It may even be useful if the platform you are targeting is ucurrently nique enough to warrant a solution other than the other implementations that are available.

Definitely possible, although the result might not be better than what's currently out there unless you use some sort of alien technology^¹.

We should work together on this enterprise. progOS needs proglodytes.

There was already Anonix, just look how that turned out.

What a balls-up. No version control, no standards, and died halfway through implementing coreutils I believe.

Better to just build a userspace on top of Linux or some other existing free kernel. More realistic.

Oddly, no Anonymous took part in Anonix. It was a one-man project by a tripfag.

Half of coreutils? That's not so bad.

Just why the heck would anyone want to make another bad unix clone?

This! Adjust linux to your needs and jump right to userspace. Linux should satisfy all your needs on most arches.
If you still feel like making a kernel, you can do that later.

Linux = GNU shit same

Sensible, independent kernels, libcs, userspace utilities and compilers all exist, but GNU have basically conditioned everyone to want/need GNU. "Sure, you can build that piece of software on any POSIX system, but don't you think it would be easier if you just used GNU autotools?"

sparrowOS seems cool. can't we implement something better, proglodytes?

Are you kidding? Have you seen the code that gets posted here?
