It's a very religious endeavor independent from all other operating systems. Actually it's very interesting, and open source. I only read about it a few times, and never tried to install it. The creator, I think his name is Terry, put a lot of work into it. Being a Christian myself, I find it interesting. Just not something I think would be usable in a practical sense with all the new tech that has evolved. Maybe I'm wrong.

It's mostly a Hobbyist system from my POV, sort of like Commodore OS Vision except supposed to be off-line. You change what you want within the limits. Pretty much most stuff you want to add you add yourself. In a way, like a Offline version of Gentoo. It Intrigues me too . I am Trying to stick to forum-rules, but in this case it i very hard. Runs off its own version of C# I think-- with rewritten outputs. It's supposed to be older-retro working/looking like what you'd find on a "Amega" PC. Would like to try it someday, too.

It's also Interesting that there are Forks of the system now as well, keeping like the OG.
The dude who wrote the OS (Terry Davis) was mentally ill and more than a little racist. The kind of people who could really finish out a project like that aren't going to want to be associated with that project. Anyone with a career in the industry wouldn't touch it. I suppose someone at the end of their career might opt to work on it -- but then they run the risk of destroying their legacy.
It was also extremely far from being a complete operating system.
At the same time, it's a bit impressive that he got as far as he did.

For a One-Man Written (originally) OS, it sure is. And the forks of the system, are actually trying to keep the system in how it was intended to be.
Can you imagine what he could have achieved if he had gotten help or didn't have mental illness. No matter what, having written an entire os by himself is quite an accomplishment. He also wrote the compiler and the language the os is written in by himself, HolyC.
Or, if one really wishes to play the speculation game -- would he have even bothered to write his OS if he weren't mentally ill?
Though it's not too hard (from what I've seen, but I am not personally capable of doing so) to write a fairly basic operating system. But that'd be just the minimum required to be called an OS. As for something on a grander scale, it's probably impossible for a single person to come up with a modern operating system that competes with Linux, BSD, Windows, or MacOS. It'd be easier if everyone had exactly matching hardware, but it'd still be a daunting task.

Mentally Ill? Eccentric, quirky, weird to many, odd in ways not to go with the flow, but brilliant at something! It's a common denominator associated with so many in history, and still today in so many things. Certainly not to say you have to be odd to be brilliant and shine at something. Following our hearts sometimes leads us to places we never expected to be.
Very much so. He was convinced that the CIA (and other government agencies) were spying on him, in his house, all sorts of things. Eventually, he even turned to racism, expressing a dislike for black people (for whom he used a derogatory term). Eventually, that got modified to the "CIA <derogatory_term>; The dude obviously had paranoid schizophrenia and surely lots more.
He was also convinced that CIA operatives could glow in the dark. Hence his use of 'Glow<derogatory_term>.
We will not sanitize his behavior while I'm alive. As someone who is at least partially of that race, it will not go unremembered.
I don't care what he wrote. This will not go unmentioned.
If you were previously unaware of this, have a link:
If you were previously aware of this and trying to insinuate that he was correct in his behavior, I'd be curious about your motivations.
But it's all public knowledge and easily looked up/verified.

I was speaking in general terms about being brilliant at something. LOL
Mentally ill with a "?" meant just that... had no idea.
I wasn't aware of a in depth biography on just the one man. All is cool ;}
Insinuate????????? Nothing more than the brilliance some people have who are recognized for it, regardless of what quirkiness they may have... good or bad. I don't believe i insinuated anything! At least not on purpose for goodness sakes.
Of course I know even a mentally ill person can be brilliant at something. Thanks for the info.

Just making sure. We need to take care in who we admire and know as much as we can about them beforehand. You're all good. I'm surprised that you didn't know the details.
But, yeah, he was batcrap crazy and extremely racist. The motivations behind his OS were that it would make him able to talk to his deity of choice (the Christian god, if I recall correctly). He would look at pseudo-random outputs and decide that the message was the deity talking to him.
I think Terry would have 'liked' his death. (Note the quotes.) After all, he was hit by a train. Nobody knows if it was intentional or an accident.
I will say that doing so intentionally is a horrible thing to do. It really messes with the heads of train engineers when someone chooses to kill themselves with their train.
I have some empathy. The dude was a mental-health mess. That doesn't excuse his behavior, but it may explain some of it.
Which is why my first reply was what it was...
Would he have written an OS at all if he weren't mentally ill? Without the desire to communicate with his deity, he likely didn't have any reason to write the OS in the first place.

Well I kinda agree and disagree. I can not like some things about many people, but admire things about them at the same time. That does not screw up my moral compass in the least. I normally don't look up stuff that I'm not interested in, hence not knowing much at all besides the creation of Temple OS. I admire it and find it interesting without a care in the world whether the man was wackydoodle or not, outside of him creating Temple OS. LOL .. Surprising nevertheless.
That's all
I regret adding my post now, but it's ok.

On a general note... Related to Temple OS in a developer sense....
Bare with me here...
Freddy Mercury... A musical genius and artist. admired by so many, Lived a life outside of that, one might not admire or agree with.
Howard Hughes... A aerospace genius in many ways, Admired by many for his accomplishments, yet he was arguably insane behind the scenes.
Who are we to tell each other to be careful about who we admire and why? I think as we are adults, we can decide this on our own. To go outside of what a person is admired for, to a point of taking their admiration out of context, quoting one or two words of their post, kinna irks me!! A general post to not single out someone, or at least keep a quote within contest of what might irk you .. hey cool!
Best judgment, most are so cool.
But to confuse someone because you don't agree with them, with assumptions, is a little far I think. It's a Linux Forum. Most of us are diverse in many ways, which makes the Forum fun. When we start to assume all should think as we do, that's not so fun anymore.
I admire Terry for his creation! I don't much care about what he did outside of that, beyond it freaking me out as being so wrong, when someone decides to throw info at me, that doesn't have anything to do with why I admire his creation. Then tell me to be careful who you admire! Totally out of context. Not cool.
I'm diverse enough to see good in bad people if it exists in them. I don't hate anyone. Never will, and never have... So "insane?" with a question mark... So what!! Does that mean don't admire the man at all, or upset that I may admire him completely, assuming way too much. As one would suggest to me as in singling me out. Or does it mean... Insane? ..... Question.
Throw our views out there, by all means, but don't throw them at one individual, with assumptions, forcing them to think.. WTF is he or she clambering about, or upset about. kind of like, I don't think like you, and I can't be persuaded to. If we happen to think alike, cool!! Let's respect thinking differently though and totally enjoy new perspectives. Just not forcibly so, as in... wow!! it's a good thing you think like me, kinna thing.
I don't admire him for being wackydoodle of course not. BUT!!!!!! What if i did? Would that be grounds to get crucified in this very cool Linux forum?
Would I attack someone with my way of thinking, and quote one word of that person's post, out of context no less, and go on a rant as to why they should think like me? I think not! haha
Not Fun!! LOL

I'm not sure that you're disagreeing entirely. Above, I mentioned his feat and how impressive it was.

My Aunt is mentally ill due to traumatic experiences in her past. We don't hold her accountable for her inability to think correctly as her common sense seems absent, We just take care of her. She has amazing artistic abilities drawing and painting.Very much so. He was convinced that the CIA (and other government agencies) were spying on him, in his house, all sorts of things. Eventually, he even turned to racism, expressing a dislike for black people (for whom he used a derogatory term). Eventually, that got modified to the "CIA <derogatory_term>; The dude obviously had paranoid schizophrenia and surely lots more.

The topic is about a operating system. Not the writers personal struggles and life regardless how documented they may be for the world to gawk at.
My Aunt paints a picture, and it's amazing, worthy to be admired without judging her for her illness.
Terry's life is no doubt full of trauma of some nature causing him to be mentally ill. Not unlike my Aunt painting a amazing picture, he was able to write a ton of code creating a totally cool little operating system.

Why?... Does it matter?
I don't believe this man's illness is the topic. Let's not knock someone down, when they are already down! I suspect he suffers, or suffered, enough without us doing that!
Lets create a topic about his life, or discuss Temple OS, that he created, in this topic?
My whole point, as I was hinting about how we admire so many people for specific talents and accomplishments, while not judging them for junk in their lives, as my interest was Temple OS.
As a moderator, I was hoping you would get it.

this is all bcs of 4chan toxic users (there is nice people in 4chan at least they helped king terry and donated him when he is homeless)
the toxic users know about his mental issues but they still bullied and toasted at him to making him angry thinking its a funny
in the last they get him worst and ruined his life after he kicked by his parents (the is famous reason, i dont know whi is the blamed?), and he being homeless
i remember when he toast his fan at street xD
