Monolithic? Does it use paging? You didn't include the most important information!

Don't be so hard for him. He just begin writing his own OS. I can assure you that he is just choosing what to do next :). We will wait , we will see.

PS: Can you make some stand-alone version that don't need any grub? Because I for e.g. haven't got it (I also don't like it :P) but I would like to run your OS.
