Impressive! I like the goal of making a hobby OS viable as a daily driver.

I've been working on my own hobby OS for half a decade. It does a lot less, but it has helped me realize that we can remove much of the complexity of a generic mainstream OS while still meeting our personal computing needs. I know I'm just poorly reinventing something between DOS and Unix/Plan 9 in an extremely limited fashion, but it's absolutely perfect for experimentation!

Pretty impressive, you've gotten much farther than I ever did (I didn't have the patience to implement all the borderline boilerplate an OS needs).
