Hi there! I've been on-and-off working on TacOS for a few months, which follows some UNIX-derived concepts (exec/fork, unix-style VFS, etc) and is now able to run a port of Doom, with a fairly small amount of modifications, using my from-scratch libc. The performance is actually decent compared to what I expected. Very interested to hear your thoughts. Thank you!

From-scratch kernel straight to DOOM is some top-tier hacker cred stuff. You must be very happy with it running on real hardware. Very cool.

Yes, quite happy with real hardware. The kernel isn't exactly straight to Doom, it boots into a shell which you can just run Doom from, but yeah lol.
