| LoseThos is under the public domain license, not a restrictive license like GPL, so you can do anything with it. Download LoseThos and use Magic ISO or some similar software to burn a CD-ROM image file. Then, boot to it. It's a live CD, so you can play around immediately with or without installing. LoseThos is for programming as entertainment. It empowers programmers with kernel privilege because it's fun. It has full access to everything because it's fun. It has no bureaucracy because it's fun. It's the way it is by choice because it's fun. Critics don't understand what make programming fun. LoseThos is in no way a Windows or Linux wannabe -- that would be pointless redundancy. Yes, it's different -- that's why it has value. If you want it to be like Windows or Linux, use Windows or Linux. You're a moron if you suggest I make it more like Windows or Linux. LoseThos is not trying to win a prize for low resource usage. Low line count is a goal. It's 100,000 lines of code. It's strictly 64-bit and could be configured to function with 32 Meg or less RAM, but who cares! Where do you get a 64-bit x86 machine with less than 32 Meg RAM? A bigger goal is making applications low line count. Hello World takes one line of code. You can put graphics on the screen in as little as five lines of code. You don't need to include header files or mess with namespaces. LoseThos uses some tricks to keep line count down like processing whole files. With no multimedia, it's hard to run out of memory on a modern home computer. LoseThos was designed from scratch with a clean slate and has no compatibility with anything else. Source code is ASCII plus binary graphics data. Finally, we're out of the 1970's! It has a new language roughly based C/C++. It's more than C and less than C++ so maybe it's C+. I took every opportunity to improve things once I made a clean break with the past. That's another reason LoseThos has value -- it is innovative. Contrary to what you might think, LoseThos is modern. I wrote a 64-bit compiler and made support for MultiCore. Your MultiCore experience with LoseThos will be second to none. Everybody else does SMP which is great if you wish to run two apps at the same time. LoseThos is not a 1970's mainframe operating system, however, and is targeted towards home users who would much rather run one app twice as fast. Therefore, LoseThos does master-slave MultiCore. LoseThos is primarily for making video games. It has no networking or Internet support. As far as I'm concerned, that would be reinventing the wheel and you can do that instead by duel booting another operating system. Similarly, it's not for desktop publishing or multimedia. |
