So I made a OS called Atlas32 https://github.com/zeerak587-cloud/Atlas32.git/
I am developing a Graphics mode for basic image display, but can someone tell me how to make graphics and how to display text in graphics mode? :| :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?:

Your bootloader needs to ask the firmware (BIOS) to set up the display. You can choose either standard VGA graphics modes or VESA VBE graphics modes.

Displaying text in a graphics mode works the same as displaying anything else: you set each individual pixel to the correct color.

You may find some helpful information on the wiki.
