Temple OS

   Temple OS is a [1]funny [2]operating system made by a [3]schizo guy
   [4]Terry Davis who has become a [5]meme and achieved legendary status for
   this creation in the [6]Internet tech circles as it's extremely impressive
   that a single man creates such a complex OS and also the OS features and
   the whole context of its creation are quite funny. It has a website at
   https://templeos.org.

   According to Terry, God commanded him to write TempleOS and guided him in
   the development: for example it was demanded that the resolution be
   640x480. It is written in [7]HolyC, Terry's own [8]programming language.
   The OS comes with GUI, 2D and 3D library, [9]games and even a program for
   communicating with God.

   Notable Temple OS features and programs are:

     * [10]multitasking (non-preemptive)
     * supported [11]file systems: [12]FAT32, ISO9660, RedSea (custom)
     * HolyC compiler
     * 2D/3D library
     * oracle (communicate with God)
     * [13]games
     * [14]IDE supporting images and [15]3D models embedded in text

   In his video blogs Terry talked about how technology became spoiled and
   that TempleOS is supposed to be [16]simple and [17]fun. For this and other
   reasons the OS is limited in many way, for example:

     * no networking
     * Only runs on [18]x64.
     * Only runs in 640x480 16 color display mode.
     * single audio voice
     * ring-0 only
     * single address space
     * multitasking is non-preemptive (programs have to yield CPU themselves)

   Temple OS source code has over 100000 [19]LOC. It is publicly available
   and said to be in the [20]public domain, however there is no actual
   [21]license/waiver in the repository besides some lines such as "100%
   public domain" which are legally questionable and likely ineffective (see
   [22]licensing).

   There still seems to be some people developing the OS and applications for
   it, e.g. Crunklord420.
