AthenX-2.0 23/10/2023

[KingVentrix007]

Hello everyone, This is my hobby operating system called AthenX-2.0, I have been working on it for some time now and I feel like it is at a point where I can show other people without fear of embarrassment.

So anyway, AthenX-2.0 is named after the Greek god Athena, the goddess of wisdom. It is kinda terribly coded with inconsistent comments and that kinda stuff, any testing is appreciated but I don't expect anyone to do that, if people would test it I would LOVE it if they tried to use the manual it has in order to run it so I can see how well that works. If anyone does want to contribute any commenting of the existing code or cleaning up is greatly appreciated. Also if i have used anyone's code without a reference to them I am soo sorry, pls don't get mad, just let me know and I will add you the the thanks section.
But anyway here is the thunk, I hope you like it

You can freely borrow ideas from my operating system https://github.com/Alexey1994/BelOS. Now I naturally came to the idea of ​​exchanging data between processes, because I realized that one process can write to a queue, and the second can read from it without using locks. There will be a big update to real time os soon.

Thank you, It is very impressive that you ported a NES emulator. I think as soon as my syscall functions are sorted out I will try to port a NES emulator as well.

AthenX-2.0 is now a private repository, some one has copied my project and re-uploaded it to github and not given me credit. So until this issue is resolved, AthenX-2.0 will be private to prevent further copying, if there is an AthenX-2.0 available on github it is NOT the real thing.

I recently made a licensing guide. Hope it helps. You currently seem to be in camp number 1.

But permission was not given to copy, or fork, it without giving credit.

I completely understand this. However he did not fork the project, he has actually re-uploaded it under his account as his own project.

I was also informed that this was the wrong way to say that my repo is down, so I would l request that if anyone knows who I am referring to as the person that copied my code, please don't say anything to him, if it was a mistake I don't want to trash talk him, also at risk of sounding rude, if people would pretend that I didn't say anything about this that would be great.

Oh and thanks nullplan for the License guide.

Sorry guys, they said I was blacklisted this morning and now it works for some reason.

Oh yeah, I'm really excited to see your code but github won't let me. It says the repo does not exist.

when you both are a fan of gplv3 and thirsty for getting credits kind of drama. imo, screenshots of your OS would be much more enjoyable and inspirational spectacle, than this.

[KingVentrix007]

Thank you, Zaval. I will definitely add screenshots. I'm still learning about showcasing my work, so thanks for the advice.

Did you include the appropriate copyright notice bearing your name? The GPL requires such a notice. If someone reproduced the code without including your copyright notice, that is a branch of the licence. Send them a cease and desist notice.

[KingVentrix007]

Thank you for the advise, but I would respectfully request that this matter be left alone. I made a mistake posting about it here, I was angry and not thinking straight and now am greatly regretting it. So please, I appreciate the advise, but I would like to leave this matter alone.
