GarbageOSV2

GarbageOS, but its rewritten! and its better! but it's still garbage :(

Aaaaaaaaaaaand also including Lisa kernel V2!

Installing and compiling

Dependencies

QEMU, build-essentials, mtools and WSL2 (if you are on windows)

Installing tools

In order to install build-essentials, clang and mtools, open up terminal (or WSL2 if you are on windows)

then type

sudo apt update && sudo apt install mtools build-essential clang

In order to install QEMU (Linux) open up terminal and type

sudo apt update && sudo apt install qemu qemu-user qemu-utils qemu-system

In order to install QEMU (Windows) go here and choose Windows, then download the installer file.

Steps

All you gotta do is run the "run.sh" file in the root of the project dir, like this:

./run.sh

It will compile everything for you, and run it in QEMU

Real Hardware

Might be a bit buggy or something, also there are no good display drivers, so its gonna run at like 640x480

It runs fine on my laptop, i used a usb and balenaetcher to flash the usb, also the display drivers are fine! so no need to worry about that.

Notes and bugs

• Bug: The text that is shown at boot up (the most garbage os ever) is uncentered and overlaying text (on real machines) This is due to a fact that the X and Y positions of the text is screwed up, bug is getting fixed in next update

  Fixed! But now the text is on the right and it doesnt look good, but whatever, it's called GarbageOS...

• Note: When flashing to a USB stick, you must change the name of the EFI file (which is located in EFI/BOOT on the EFI partition of the USB stick).

• Note: When using QEMU to emulate the OS, there are a lot of EfiBootServiceData and EfiBootServicesCode strings on the screen, I don't know why, but QEMU has a lot of sections...

• Note: This OS is meant for games and apps, (such as tetris or a paint program) so feel free to read about operating systems and start developing for the platform! (Make sure you fork the repository to credit me)

• Note: The current source code actually doesn't compile and throws an error saying "undefined reference to memset" and "memset" is the old name for the variable I changed it to "memoryset" but it won't recognize the change, please help me by sending a PR which fixes the problem.
