A 32-bit hobby operating system for x86 PCs. This project is currently in a very early state. Stay tuned!
"Not what happens to you, but how you react to it, is what matters." -Epictetus
This quote encapsulates the essence of amor fati—the love of one's fate—by emphasizing the importance of embracing whatever comes your way and responding with wisdom and resilience.

I currently build the project on Ubuntu 22.04 running on WSL2 (on Windows), using GCC 11.4.0 and NASM 2.15.05.
To ensure you have what you need, run the following:
sudo apt install build-essential
sudo apt install gcc-multilib
sudo apt install nasm
To build the project, run:
./build.sh
The build script generates the following raw floppy disk image:
bin/AmorFatiOS.flp
The OS can be tested in VMware Workstation using the included virtual machine file:
vm/AmorFatiOS.vmx
This VM has a floppy drive that points to the bin/AmorFatiOS.flp image.
Currently, AmorFatiOS works best in VMware Workstation, so that's the platform I recommend testing with.
At the time of writing, VMware Workstation is freely available for personal use.
