Hi, I just completed the Bare Bones tutorial and got the terminal scroll and \n working. I was wondering if I can get started on keyboard input. If I can, how do I get started? If not, what more do I need to learn? :D

You need to make sure the GDT is correctly set up, then create an ISR entry, configure the PIC and you're good to go!

Here's a tutorial: https://arjunsreedharan.org/post/993702 ... h-keyboard

Is it possible to use INT 16H?

No. You can't use BIOS functions in protected mode.
