LoseThos: A public domain, open source, 64-bit IBM PC Operating System.
LoseThos is for programming as entertainment. It empowers programmers with
kernel privilege because it's fun. It has full access to everything because it's fun.
It has no bureaucracy because it's fun. It's the way it is by choice because it's
fun. Critics don't understand what make programming fun. LoseThos is in no
way a Windows or Linux wannabe -- that would be pointless redundancy. Yes,
it's different -- that's why it has value. If you want it to be like Windows or Linux,
use Windows or Linux. You're a moron if you suggest I make it more like
Windows or Linux.
LoseThos was designed from scratch with a clean slate and has no compatibility
with anything else. Source code is ASCII plus binary graphics data. Finally,
we're out of the 1970's! It has a new language roughly based C/C++. It's more
than C and less than C++ so maybe it's C+. I took every opportunity to improve
things once I made a clean break with the past. That's another reason LoseThos
has value -- it is innovative.
Contrary to what you might think, LoseThos is modern. I wrote a 64-bit compiler
and made support for MultiCore. Your MultiCore experience with LoseThos will
be second to none. Everybody else does SMP which is great if you wish to run
two apps at the same time. LoseThos is not a 1970's mainframe operating
system, however, and is targeted towards home users who would much rather
run one app twice as fast. Therefore, LoseThos does master-slave MultiCore.
LoseThos is primarily for making video games. It has no networking or Internet
support. As far as I'm concerned, that would be reinventing the wheel and you
can do that instead by duel booting another operating system. Similarly, it's not
for desktop publishing or multimedia.
Download LoseThos V4.13 (18.4 Meg)
Use Magic ISO or some similar software to burn a CD-ROM image file. Then, boot to it.
It's a live CD, so you can play around immediately with or without installing.
