building an OS (all streams)

Currently Playing: building my own OS in c++ (week 113, kernel threads)

(detailed timestamps in comments) #livecoding #operatingsystem #coding welcome: https://offlinemark.com/welcome discord: https://discord.gg/P6zQBsD2ng Welcome! I’m an aspiring systems programmer. Professionally, I used to work in infosec, but now I work on music production software & hardware. I stream OS/kernel development every week for 2 hours. (I’ve done this for over 75 weeks in a row! Sundays 10a-12 ET) From February 2024 to May 2025, I streamed myself doing all the labs for MIT’s old Operating Systems Engineering course (6.828 (2018)). Through doing this, I became very familiar with JOS, which is the x86 OS used for the course. I had almost no experience with OS development when I started, although I did have much experience with programming and low level concepts. I did the coursework because I wanted to write my own OS, but felt I wasn’t ready. Now, from May 2025 to present, I’m pursuing my own learning agenda with OS development, and starting my on own OS.
