PaybackOS is now SlugOS and it supports UEFI

Post by AnotherIdiot »

Some of you likely helped me with stuff like the GDT/IDT in my custom OS PaybackOS, thank you for helping.

PaybackOS has been decided by me (the main developer) to be rewritten, I have started working on it, it is called SlugOS and I am about to merge the new UEFI code (which uses posix-uefi since I am more comfy with a posix like development environment) any advice on it?

I see that your OS is public domain. Are you interested in perhaps working on PDOS (also public domain) instead of creating another one? Or do you have a different goal? I have a UEFI version too. It doesn't exit boot services though. If you have a particular desire to exit boot services, then you could replace the pseudo-bios that PDOS-generic uses. Project is at pdos.org

Note that the project has been ongoing for more than 30 years.
