https://texivi.github.io/ texivi makes operating systems and runs Exherbo. en https://texivi.github.io/posts/2026-10-23-tswm.html https://texivi.github.io/posts/2026-10-23-tswm.html Fri, 23 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000 I made TSWM to learn X11, and because I like how Syllable looks. Syllable Desktop 0.6.6 was the one I copied. https://texivi.github.io/posts/2026-10-23-templeos.html https://texivi.github.io/posts/2026-10-23-templeos.html Fri, 23 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000 I started on my own operating system because of TempleOS. I wanted to see what it is like when one person decides everything. https://texivi.github.io/posts/2026-10-23-subverge-0-9-5.html https://texivi.github.io/posts/2026-10-23-subverge-0-9-5.html Fri, 23 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000 Subverge 0.9.5 can show pictures. The kernel has a JPEG decoder, graphics mode is 24-bit colour now, and gallery goes through nine pictures built into the system. https://texivi.github.io/posts/2026-10-23-exherbo.html https://texivi.github.io/posts/2026-10-23-exherbo.html Fri, 23 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000 I run Exherbo, I like a distro that expects you to know what you are doing and doesn't hide anything from you https://texivi.github.io/posts/2026-10-23-avtty.html https://texivi.github.io/posts/2026-10-23-avtty.html Fri, 23 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000 I wrote AVTTY for minimal systems. I wanted an editor that is small enough to run on one, and that needs no setup before it is useful. https://texivi.github.io/posts/2026-10-22-welcome.html https://texivi.github.io/posts/2026-10-22-welcome.html Thu, 22 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000 This is my blog. I'll post here when I have something to say. I might also post more stuff later, who knows. https://texivi.github.io/posts/2026-10-22-templeos-legacy.html https://texivi.github.io/posts/2026-10-22-templeos-legacy.html Thu, 22 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000 Terry Davis made an operating system by himself, with a shell that is also its compiler, in one language, small enough for one person to understand. I don't know of another project that does that. https://texivi.github.io/posts/2026-10-22-one-developer.html https://texivi.github.io/posts/2026-10-22-one-developer.html Thu, 22 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000 I write all of it myself. https://texivi.github.io/posts/2026-10-22-not-a-daily-driver.html https://texivi.github.io/posts/2026-10-22-not-a-daily-driver.html Thu, 22 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000 My operating system is an experimental hobby project. I don't use it for work, and it is not meant to replace anything. https://texivi.github.io/posts/2026-10-22-hobby-os.html https://texivi.github.io/posts/2026-10-22-hobby-os.html Thu, 22 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000 Nobody needs my operating system, and I don't pretend they do. It runs in QEMU, it has no networking, and you can't get work done in it. https://texivi.github.io/posts/2026-10-22-docs.html https://texivi.github.io/posts/2026-10-22-docs.html Thu, 22 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000 My docs aren't for beginners, and that's fine. My docs as I said before are inspired by OpenBSD's and Exherbo's, more specifically Exherbo's, since the distro is marketed as by devs for devs, and my own OS takes a similar approach. https://texivi.github.io/posts/2026-10-21-protection-is-theatre.html https://texivi.github.io/posts/2026-10-21-protection-is-theatre.html Wed, 21 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000 My OS, Subverge has no users nor permissions not because I couldn't implement them but because I don't want to. The reason why different rings (ring 0, ring 3 etc) exist is because in an OS like GNU/Linux, you need the OS for your daily work. You don't need my OS for work nor do you lose anything from my OS not having protection. I am not saying Linux is "bad" per se, in fact I think Linux is amazing, I personally use Exherbo. But I think more people especially in OsDev should stop worrying so much about protection, your OS isn't going to be daily driven most likely, and that's a good thing, it means you can experiment, see A hobby OS is allowed to be impractical. I think the points in Not a daily driver make sense too. https://texivi.github.io/posts/2026-10-21-counting-past-infinity.html https://texivi.github.io/posts/2026-10-21-counting-past-infinity.html Wed, 21 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000 A video by Vsauce, How To Count Past Infinity, is the reason my operating system has infinite numbers in it. It gave me the names too.
