Went into this thinking it was about the X Window System[1]. Pleasantly surprised! Lots of cool stuff here.

Likewise. This is super useful and there should be more of it.

A combination of this and some other tutorials and you can have a “build your own OS”. Some coursera classes I took a while back delved into it but things like a usb controller or getting regular input were a bit of a limiting factor. (I.e. build a keyboard from scratch or support USB, build your own display... etc)

I agree, it would have been such an unpleasant surprise to see another implementation of X-Windows! ;)

I am truly disappointed that "Build your own X" has a list of things which does not include "Build your own X†" :p

† X Window System.
