"πŸ—“οΈ Simp1OS Dev Logs – Stepping back from Simp1OS (For now!)"

Hey everyone,

Building Simp1OS has been an incredible journey. From fighting with Multiboot headers to getting the framebuffer to play nice with custom UI windows, I've learned more about low-level systems than I ever thought possible.

However, the pressure of my studies has increased significantly lately. To ensure I stay on top of my academics, I have decided to stop active development on Simp1OS for the time being.

πŸ’Ώ Try the ISO

The project isn't going away! You can download the current ISO and check out what I’ve built so far here:
πŸ‘‰ https://simp1os.netlify.app

Note: Currently, this build is optimized for QEMU. It may not behave as expected in VirtualBox or on physical hardware yet, but it’s a great glimpse into the vision I had for a "simple" OS.

πŸš€ What's next?

This might not be the end. Whether development resumes later or a "Simp2OS" eventually rises from the ashes, I’m keeping the door open. For now, I'm focusing on my exams and classes.

Thank you to everyone who helped me debug, shared ideas, and supported the project. It’s been a wild ride!

See you in the next version,
-Arush Tripathi
