You said the code is limited to 100k lines then said it has 120k lines at the end.
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.
I've always thought TempleOS to be a great bedroom project since back when it was LosThos.
Can you describe your target market for TempleOS? Who suffers the problem that TempleOS solves?
I've always though TempleOS would be perfect for open hardware, like the Raspberry Pi. Would you ever consider porting it to ARMv7/8?

That said, TempleOS on anything but standard PC hardware would be interesting to see.
Will you work with atheists or black people?

'He still considers himself scientifically minded. "Today I find the people most similar to me are atheist-scientist people," he says. "The difference is God has talked to me, so I'm basically like an atheist who God has talked to."'
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.
Potential investors are not going to be impressed by this kind of statement.

The RPi is most certainly not "open hardware", it's even more closed than a standard PC. On the other hand, there are plenty of truly open ARM platforms out there, like the OLinuXino series: https://www.olimex.com/Products/OLinuXino/open-source-hardwa...

I'm not a troll, but being old enough to have programmed on operating systems where a bad pointer reference could force you to reboot the machine (DOS, early versions of Windows, early versions of MacOS), I don't yearn for those days to come back. DOS was designed the way it was to allow it to run on cheap (for its time) hardware, not because anyone thought that it was a good development environment (Unix already existed at the time, so people knew how to write a robust operating system).
Also, is it a good idea to connect a machine that has an unprotected operating system to the internet?
Clearly this software reflects a lot of effort and ingenuity, but I doubt that people could be convinced to pay money for it.
"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…
If the operating system has no IP stack or networking of any kind then it's probably ok
