(Some) advantages of a OS made with/in OSDev.

All off topic discussions go here. Everything from the funny thing your cat did to your favorite tv shows. Non-programming computer questions are ok too.

Hi,

Wait, there are operating systems originated from here that can run Minecraft?

Seriously now, memory usage isn't the only factor that classifies an operating system as good or bad. Security, usability, good use of available resources (not only memory), etc, also play an important role in the classification. Although, yes, having low memory (both RAM and disk usage) and processor requirements is an advantage since the user will be able to store more data then.

It's probably not too hard to install it manually. Anyway, I think your point is that it's not really usable yet.

Well, is it quite usable now or not? If it is, install it and use it exclusively for a day. If not, stop talking nonsense.

By the way, I actually forgot the -m option for qemu when I tried the live CD first, so I know that 128 MB aren't enough for ToaruOS. The only thing you get with that is a red "Out of memory" message.

I am as confused by that statement as you are.
When you start writing an OS you do the minimum possible to get the x86 processor in a usable state, then you try to get as far away from it as possible.

I think he's saying that his GT100 struggled while playing Minecraft.

Meh, my old GT100 had 8 entire CUDA Cores.
