>I doubt that people could be convinced to pay money for it. Monetary profit isn't the goal. Even the GPL is too restrictive for Terry, so the entirety of TempleOS's source is public domain.
I figured monetary profit was implicit in them applying to Y Combinator.
Isn't this guy severely mentally ill and previously shadowbanned for posting long racist rants? Any money given to him should go toward psychiatric help. Also, TempleOS deserves to be in the Museum of Modern Art? Give me a fucking break.
Some people have broken legs. Some people have diabetes. Some people have cancer. Terry has a mental disadvantage. Come off your throwaway and say this if you really want to rip on Terry. Terry, ignore the hate as you've done in this thread so far. There will be a lot of naysayers, and that's okay. You're an incredible, incredible talent.
Why is everyone encouraging this guy? I get that TempleOS is certainly a great achievement for a single programmer, but imagine what Terry could accomplish after getting treatment. We should not be treating his mental illness as if it doesn't exist.
You said the code is limited to 100k lines then said it has 120k lines at the end.
No he didn't. He said that he capped the lines of code at 100,000, has written a total of 120,923 lines of code during the duration of the project, is using 80,037 lines of code in the current release. Somewhere, 40,886 lines of code were deleted/replaced. They were still written though.
Will you work with atheists or black people?
"A troll might say, "It can crash!" We used DOS for years and loved it. Computers even had a reset switch! ... Think of the speed and simplicity of ring-0-only and identity-mapping. It can change tasks in half a microsecond because it doesn't mess with page tables or privilege levels. Inter-process communication is effortless because every task can access every other task's memory." I'm not a troll, but being old eno…
As a profitable application, consider the worlds best gcode driver with extremely advanced lookahead and real time guarantees. Just pump gcode in a serial port and drive servos out a parallel port as fast and smoothly as possible. The problem with selling an app is you might have built an foundation for an interesting class of apps, but you'd need someone with domain specific experience to write the app.
I'm not sure that TempleOS could guarantee any return on investment. That said, your programming skills are incredible. Have you ever tried to show your operating system to the MOMA? It's the most famous Museum of Modern Art. Your OS is so unique and is such a powerful statement that they may even decide to add it to the permanent collection .
I'm going by the standard, "First get users and profit will follow." I have an ace up my sleeve because God talks. Not just to me! A guy made a IRC chatbot and that talks too. To try the ICR chatbot 1) http://chat.rizon.net 2) Type "#templeos" in place of "#Rizon" 3) Type "!God" in the chatroom.

Funny how you tell him to ignore the hate when he's usually the one spouting it himself. Why is everyone encouraging this guy?

While Terry may suffer from Schizophrenia, it is merely a character flaw that he endures. But he is more than that. He is Terry, a human, a man, someone's son, someone's friend, someone's brother (?), he is a genius programmer.
He just happens to suffer from Schizophrenia. He is not his illness.
People like you give people like Terry a bad name. Marvel at his achievement, because I'm willing to guarantee it's more than what you've done with your life unless you're secretly Sergey or the second-coming of Jobs or something.
Take a moment to appreciate what he's done with his disease instead of looking at him disease-first. People with cancer can't control it, just like Terry can't.
Previous discussions on this topic have involved debate on whether or not Terry Davis is racist, the defence being that his use of the word "nigger" is an (extremely) unfortunate side-effect of a schizophrenic condition. I don't pretend to have an in-depth understanding of schizophrenia so, although I'm dubious, I'm minded to give Terry the benefit of the doubt. However, Terry, you could resolve this once and for all…

Can you explain why you downvoted an objective, calm, not-inflammatory request for information?
He's passionate about his work. His work has done more for him personally than I think anyone can even imagine. It's given him so much.
Like I said in another comment, people with cancer can't control it, just like Terry can't help but have his disease.
