Unsurprisingly this operating system has the usual self-replication ability:

Looks clean and precise. Tried installing Fudge OS a while back got some bugs and gave up on it. Your post has rekindled my interest again and I will give it a second try. I will post screen shots later.

Shhhhhhh =P

Some sort of "safe mode" boot, I guess? Currently there's only a toggle for a debug mode (not for the OS itself, but rather to let apps know whether they should expose debugging controls), though the idea is that there'll be a button to wipe the settings (for the day when they can be saved) in case that rendered the OS unusable. I may add some system information to it as well.

Still not commited to the repo since I'm busy trying to figure out why rebooting from Solitaire leaves me with a blank screen *sigh*

Basic OS Update:
• Ported LibAlloc (Malloc, Free, Realloc and Calloc functions are now available, kernel level allocator)
• Shell Implementation
• Simple Shell Permissions (user and root)
• Switched from an underline to a block cursor

Just a small update, nothing spectacular as you can see.

Cyjon OS v0.887, nothing much. Every console window (and subprocess shell) got own keyboard FIFO cache.

Looks very nice, I like the cursor and terminal icon.

What did your OS looked like a few years ago?

Here was "Hydrogen OS" in 2011. I remember I never posted any screenshot of these versions here.
In the beginnings of the project, it was mainly inspired by Solar_OS, was entirely written in assembly, had a nice and colorful GUI,
had a few apps embedded in the kernel, had no multitasking and no ring 3 protection. It was much a "toy OS", but I still love it and
I really want to resurrect it.

I'll take that GUI over the "sterile" look a lot of modern stuff has (my only grip is the lowercase y).

Looks clean and classic. Very refreshing to see after all the transparency and "flat" user interfaces we (including myself) have now.

Thank you Omar. Except that "Hydrogen OS" had translucent windows, while Obsidian/f2-OS had not.

I have to agree with you guys about the ways it looks, but if it was 2006. This interface is very retro alike. I have to strongly disagree about using this/any other non minimalistic interface over today's beautiful implementations (expect Windows 10). It is really good, but if it was 2006. Also I think that your blue theme looks epic (f2's old screen shot).

"expect Windows 10", as it's said - mistyping by Freud. hehe. because doesn't matter if you hate to admit that or not, ALL modern UIs are inspired by Windows. 7 like ot 10 like. It's funny to notice how everybody and his dog is mimicking that look and feel, and still strongly disagrees it is taken from there. that stupid hatred.

I've not gotten far enough in my OS to implement a gui, but I've been working on flat design concepts inspired more by BeOS than anything else.

One thing is clean, but I'm tired of the completely flat color stuff we have nowadays (at least make widgets look like they have some volume, jeez (・～・)). Also I bet that the main reason those old pics feel outdated is because of the VGA-like pixelart font and missing a wallpaper (I'm still surprised just how much a wallpaper can change the perception of an OS).


With Windows 8 they were trying to gimmick iOS (where flat was the brand new thing at the moment). And a bunch of UIs are inspired by Macs =P

Also since I'm required to leave screenshots here:

Your card work is paying off.
