Snorkel‑OS – unusual, isn't it? Let me explain.
A snorkel is a tube that lets a diver breathe while staying just below the surface, observing the underwater world without interruption. For me, a computer is a similar “parallel world” full of mysteries. My operating system is a view from the outside, but as close as possible to the hardware and the code. I renamed the project to emphasise this metaphor.
Technically, the kernel is still called Paull‑kernel (a 32‑bit x86 monolithic kernel written in NASM and C). But the whole operating system is now named Snorkel‑OS.
The kernel is what's inside. The OS is how we see it from the outside.
My next technical article (about the FAT12 file system) is coming soon. For now, just remember the new name.
