Depends on what kinds of OS you want and how much effort you can take. Your OS has no chance of becoming mainstream or even successful. If you want to waste years of your life in futile effort to catch up to mainstream OSes you're welcome. If not, your toy OS may interest major OS developers who would want to implement some of your features and thats it.

The most realistic OS goal anyone here should start with is a ``hello world'' OS (basically just a bootloader). It's not a fully-fledged OS project, but that's kind of an overly-ambitious project for a single person. If you set your goals too high, you'll be more likely to give up, much like /g/ and their ``secure'' Skype replacement.
>>6 >>7
That is because you and /g/ are shit programmers and these kind of projects are only doable by bright programmer(s).
A bright programmer could easily program an amazing OS on their own. The issue after that is software and capitalism.
Or make it so good that people will want to and have to start using it. That way you get people to program the software for it or get the military to do it.

Some of their favourites insults are ``cretin'', ``mental midget'', and ``toilet scrubber''. They obviously aren't clever with an imagination and prefer to use the same memes for years. It isn't hard to disguise yourself as one of them. They just don't realize that we don't want to be like these losers.
They think they are hot shit for programming little unix hacks and programming in lisp.

Also make sure to include ``please'' and ``terrible'' into your posts. The stylized exclamation mark is simply italicization. [i]![i] (obviously you know where to put the / in when you actually post).
As someone who hates e/g/in/g/ros, it would be nice to see /prog/ memes being ruined and popularized into le imagereddits. Mainly because that would mean I invented many imagereddit memes!Just kidding..
Which reminds me, once a thread on /g/ about some ``secure Skype replacement'' was posted here. I went there and realized they stoleculturally enriched themselves with the epic memes of Satori and SICP.
Some of them even know Satori is also a Touhou character, which is amazing enough, given the fact they barely know Flandre and Cirno because of the e/b/in image macros.

I'll tell you a secret why your AutismOS is unlikely to succeed,
Its because your OS is built to be incompatible with mainstream drivers,standards,apps and games.
If your OS could natively(or almost natively) run windows drivers,games,apps and use all features of windows/max/lunix(i.e. being useful from the start) it will be a success.
But no. AutismOS will only support your own drivers, apps have to be ported and games are for "faggots" who can't appreciate the terminal and VGA pallete.
Just to provide perspective, Early windows was built to be compatible with all aspects of DOS.
Early Lunix was (somewhat)compatible with Minix and supported POSIX/Unix userland,
Only Macs had the luxury of "NIH autism" working since Apple controlled the hardware at the time and even then they were expensive shit for niche audience(hipsters and idiots with cash to spare, as always).

My problem is that unlike autists who design OSes, i know what makes OSes usable.

First of all, we aren't writing an operating system. Second of all, an operating system is first designed to work as it should. It then becomes ``usable'' when there are enough drivers and user level code to make computer running the operating system provide for the wants and needs of the user. This concept of usability does not intersect with the stability, or any other aspect of the operating system's design. This issue is more or less solved with a compatibility layer for user level code and drivers. Then you can leverage past work while providing something new under the hood.

If you don't understand how OS kernels actually work you shouldn't make comments like this. All that you need to make yourself compatible with other drivers is to comply with basic and well documented API standards. The only similarity you need with other OSes to be compatible is interface compatibility, the guts can be completely different if you so desire so long as the end result is the same. But OS kernels are far from broken so why on earth would anybody waste time to fix them?
As for the OP, Ada is a high level language with a runtime. Runtimes get in the way of some of the low level functionality you need to write an actually functioning kernel but at the same time it's what makes the language so much "safer".

>when there are enough drivers
New hardware arrives every month with closed source windows-only drivers(and not for every windows version)
>user level code
there is no point developing for a system which doesn't have users or drivers concept of usability does not intersect with the stability
>compatibility layer for user level code and drivers
What would happens if such foreign code crashes your compatibility layer? Will it result in an app being terminated or there will be other consequences..?
The real question: why would users pick your system+compatibility layers vs the system they use now?
Think about it from the perspective of an average user(as dumb as possible).
99% of users will be in that "average" category and will stay on windows/mac unless they have a very good reason(an advantage) to switch.

I don't think you are getting the jist of my post. You can write your own operating system and implement the same api used by the windows drivers, and the windows user level code. Then drivers and software written for windows will just work on your operating system.
If the compatibility layer is within the operating system, it will never crash. If a requested operation cannot be done, an error code will be signaled, just like with normal system calls.
I can't respond to that last comment because it doesn't concern me what other people choose to use, or for what reasons. I'm going to write the software that I will write, and if other people choose to use it, I expect them to use my software by their own choice as any sentient being would.

Your a fucking idiot. How do you think windows works? Clouds and rainbows? It's fucking software. If someone can follow an API to write a driver for windows, someone else can make an alternative operating system that works with the driver, using the same API as a guide.

All we need to do is to be "using the same API". Yeah, folks. Geniuses of /prog/ have solved the hardware problems of every non-windows OS ever. Only those Lunix/BSD/etc autists somehow don't know how easy it was. I'm messaging Linus right now. This will be a OSRevolution.
>>56
Have you ever written a driver? What do you think they do? Write some code and pray to the microsoft god that it works?
Your messages will be ignored because they aren't aiming for compatibility with windows. Maybe reactos would be interested. At least do your research know what you are talking about.

If you haven't prayed yet, your driver won't get a MS cryptographic signature and average windows user won't be able to install it(however it is easy to override the verification). Such is life in windows-land. Also, pray to AMD/Nvidia/Intel for releasing your Lunix drivers.

Did you just google "linux driver problem" and paste the top 8 results? You realize that all of those issues are a problem of buggy drivers, not drivers failing to work under different operating systems that use the same driver API? Please scorn the correct thing in the future.
I'm sure wont have trouble finding a list of faults for it.

Why don't you try to google it and compare? Did you read what these articles are about at all?
Also this:
"windows driver problem" About 1,040,000 results (Windows has x100 users)
"linux driver problem" About 2,560,000 results
>>63
That doesn't relate to what we were talking about though, since linux is not designed to support windows drivers. I don't know why I feel this need to try to realign you into this conversation. It's not like I'm getting anything out of it. Fuck, what am I doing with my life? Is this really what it's come to? Trying to talk sense into some stubborn idiot online? I don't care where you come from, although it is obvious that you are from /g/. The very fact that I'm spending moments of my life attempting to talk to you tells me and the rest of the world that I don't value myself or my life enough to live it to its fullest potential. I have better things that I could be doing. Better conversations I could be having with better people. Why do I put up with this mundane and completely unfulfilling crap on a daily basis? And in my free time no less? I don't think anyone could pay me to talk to people like you, yet here I am doing it for free. What the fuck is wrong with me? Do I have some sort of unresolved issues or something that forces me to keep doing this, despite it being an obvious sink on my time and health? What the hell is wrong with me?

If API standards worked(followed by both OS/Hardware developers) this wouldn't happen. >>64 I suggest moving to another forum.
