It is an open-source, general purpose operating system written from scratch for UEFI and EFI-based machines. It implements own XT architecture (inspired and based on NT architecture). Available for i686 and amd64, compiled by LLVM-based XTChain.

Looks neat!
raven crag
Interesting, looking forward to it
Also, fun fact, NT doesn't actually use C style comments, but C++ style ones, see their https://github.com/microsoft/Windows-driver-samples/tree/main/filesys/fastfat fastfat sample
dense dove
yep, and they have their own documenting block style; I prefer Javadoc style

Short video presenting current (visible) progress and new rewritten bootloader, which I plan to merge into master soon.

but that's grub
i think not beacuse, there edit is not implemented but yeah, it similar to grub

idk i cant find a single piece of code that could be responsible for this menu

but that's grub
did you look in the xtldr_rewrite branch?

XTLDR (ExectOS Boot Loader) has a modular design. Last evening I have written beep module, that allows to play some tune via PC speaker. It has GRUB-compatible syntax. Short video presents the result, running on bare metal (Lenovo S205). I apologize for poor quality video.
I am trying to test it frequently on bare metal. Unfortunately testing on real hardware and in Qemu is like programming in C and PHP. Both Qemu and PHP forgive many mistakes. 😉

qemu tends to be the one that's not very accurate and for real hardware you need to be extra careful
dense dove
I noticed that qemu is very gracious for memory issues. I.e. if you don't allocate memory and copy some data it might work under qemu, but no chance on real hardware.

BootLoader merged! 🔥

Isn't that literally grub
dense dove
No, it's not.
Boot menu looks similar, but this is completely different boot loader, although also with modular design
dense dove
Maybe this is not really related to ExectOS, but I had to give it a try 😄

XT architecture is a new cpu or architecture or what do you mean by architecture
winged bay
Kernel architecture, so how the kernel is designed
dense dove
That's right, thank you @winged bay 😉

Greetings! I am delighted to invite you to explore the home of ExectOS world. Our website https://exectos.eu.org/ is now live, offering you a closer look at this project, its development journey, and the vision behind it. Whether you're a developer, a tech aficionado, or just plain curious, there's something for everyone. Get insights into our progress, learn about the features, and perhaps, find ways to contribute 😉

Nice project 👍But I encountered a small problem of the mobile design of the website. I think the text is a bit to thin
Is is it intended to look like that
dense dove
Is is it intended to look like that
No, but it should look better now 😉 Thanks for pointing this out!

@dense dove To give an example, there's a striking similarity between these two files:
https://github.com/xt-sys/exectos/blob/master/xtoskrnl/ke/sysres.c
https://github.com/xt-sys/exectos/blob/master/xtoskrnl/ke/runlevel.c
and these:
https://github.com/minoca/os/blob/master/kernel/ke/sysres.c
https://github.com/minoca/os/blob/master/kernel/ke/runlevel.c
dense dove
Is this some kind of bad joke? Yes there can be some similarity, especially both projects have same naming convention. But telling that the code was imported based on 2 wrapper functions that are common for each architecture and real implentation lays in HL which is hardware specific is just distasteful. You could also ask if i copied reactos code or better some leaked Windows code just because i mentioned that this project is trying follow NT architecture. Windows contain similar mechanism to system resources but it is more complicated and stores all data in the registry. In My opinion thats way too complicated for hobby os so i used linked list to store data provided by bootloader, like framebuffer, or acpi related data. In the future i planned to extended this to be single common interface between boot loader and kernel instead of mapping apic address into higher half at hardcoded address from bootloader.

Look, it's not just a mere similarity. For one, calling what seems to be the equivalent to IRQLs, "runlevels", is something that seems to be only done by you and Minoca.

My man this looks like more than that

plus
yeah
identical function names
in identical order
essentially identical statements

it is more than suspicious

Gonna need an explanation about this reeeaaal quick
raven crag
Kep isnt even nt style
Yes, it is
raven crag
Yes, p for private

this can't be a coincidence
these aren't merely a wrapper function
there's some logic going on
and it's a private function!
I have graded university homework before
and if I got this as a submission, I would've given it an F for plagiarism

Are you a teacher?
Or just a nonbinding grade
short kraken
Are you a teacher?
I was a tutor for CS 101
raven crag
Oh, cool
short kraken
Or just a nonbinding grade
you had to get 50% in the homework to be admitted to the exam
and the tutors, including me, graded the exam as well
dreamy moon
and if I got this as a submission, I would've given it an F for plagiarism
did you have to give any of those btw
short kraken
oh yes
raven crag
In my country's grading system 1 is usually reserved for failed plagiarism attempts and 2-10 as grades for actual work
dreamy moon
like cs102 :^)
short kraken
they're students straight out of high school
dreamy moon
i guess
short kraken
if you are plagarising for cs101
idk, laziness

oh well, in the homework and exams you give out points
i.e. 0 is the worst
and the best is idk
whatever the amount of points is
the final grade in the exam is then converted to the traditional 1.0 to 4.0 system
where 1.0 is the best
and 4.0 is the worst
the only possible grades are 1.0, 1.3, 1.7, 2.0, 2.3, 2.7, 3.0, 3.3, 3.7, 4.0
and if you fail, you get a 5

I was accused of plagiarizing/using chatgpt because an english text I wrote was too good
I am not even kidding
teachers are relying on chatgpt "detection" "tools" to detect plagiarism
dreamy moon
jesus fucking christ
those are horrible
especially for english as foreign language
dense siren
I got a 100% in the end tho cuz I proved the teacher I could write good texts
dreamy moon
teachers are relying on chatgpt "detection" "tools" to detect plagiarism
those are as reliable as Math.random() < .5

especially for english as foreign language
well tbf it was a great text and was not at the level of an ESL student
