What, you don't want to play Castle Frankenstein? :colbert:

Seriously, though, it's impressive that he could do all of that himself. He might be more than a little out there, but at least he's doing something interesting with his time.

True, but how useful is the O/S and how many people are going to actually use it?

How useful is mountain biking or weight lifting? There doesn't have to be any more reason than "Cause I can".

If he wasn't a whack-A-doo, he could be working on something that would be useful for research purposes, if not practical need. GNU Hurd has been in development since 1991 or so, and it's barely usable. It might not ever be a practical kernel, but it still has value as a learning device, and might spawn other interesting concepts, or methods for building a kernel.
 
Did this guy write all of this? The editors compiler etc.. I was watching the video and I though it was quite interesting that he developed this bare metal ring 0 rtos with tools, compiler etc..

God can create an entire universe but when it comes to communicating with humans he talks gibberish. Communication: not God's strong suit. lmao.

If you're willing to show us the kernel you created in your spare time over the past ten years I'm sure we would be happy to compare it to his.
Is he Linus Torvalds? No, but to say it's not impressive seems short sighted.
