When I got a 3D printer I forced myself to learn Open SCAD which is a text based code driven 3D CAD software which lends itself well to sharing parameterized versions of the ‘source code’ to places like Thingiverse so people can generate their own ‘remix’ version with customized dimensions... so from my perspective it’s not terribly hard to imagine a small amount of text generating 3D sprites, having the entire OS able to render them in realtime is the side of it that’s more impressive to me, that should make for some creative implementations of clever GUI things, I suspect... SOC devices even since it’s so tiny.
Some stuff about TOS: The .CPP extension is deprecated as it has been replaced by .HC. This is also why Edit didn't have syntax highlighting. The .Z enables compression. If something hangs the system, for example a while(TRUE); loop, you can press either CTRL-ALT-c (cancel task) or CTRL-ALT-k to kill it. Technically, TempleOS has HDAudio. Terry didn't implement it because he couldn't get it to work. You don't need to re-type code in the command line. You can put your cursor at the end on a line of code you want to get run and press enter. The whole operating system gets JIT compiled on boot. Left-click/space usually opens up files/changed directory. Right-click/enter opens a submenu for file actions. CTRL-ALT-a enables AutoComplete, CTRL-ALT-A disables it. ZealOS is a fork of TempleOS with 32-bit graphics and networking support. Networking has a bug where e1000 hangs, but virtio works just fine. ZealOS also has SATA support, heck it's even a requirement. Also dark theme.
I always loved Terry's streams showing off his tech. It was impressive to watch raw passion as he demonstrated drawing elephants and the like in such a constrained visual style. Great chat interaction too, he was truly a man of the people. RIP.
I will always have a soft spot for Terry Davis. His more inflammatory outbursts can be blamed completely on his illness, if the reactions of those who knew him are anything to go by. His passion and joy for programming and exploring computers is just something else, and, while I wish he had received the help he needed, I can take some solace in knowing he's in a better place now.
What's funny is that Terry Davis never pose any threat to the US's government. It was Edward Snowden who did. He was a journalist famous for founding wikileaks, a site for publishing whistle blower papers. It's because of his site that now we know how the CIA spies on us

For anyone who wants to see more showcasing of TempleOS, Linus Tech Tips actually has a very respectful video in TempleOS. They go into more features of the OS and the way they showed it off gives the rignt message to the audience, i.e. Respect Terry and recognize his controversial actions and words stem from tragic mental illness.
I do agree with his opinions on how to identify and deal with feds but otherwise, yes, it was sad to see him struggle with mental illness. On the otherhand, this project was a consequence of said mental illness so there is at least a silver lining. Try out and try to understand his os because it is his gift to humanity and is probably how he would want to be remembered.
I think Terry is often rightfully titled as the greatest programmer of all time. Probably only someone like the dude that wrote RollerCoaster Tycoon (or what it was) completely by himself in assembly gets close to him.
“..I guess Bash is bloat in God’s temple” 💀 RIP Terry..must have been an unbelievable amount of knowledge, dedication & creativity in that mind of his.
Terry is one of my inspirations to get into low-level programming. The idea of a compiled shell using the same language as the core of the operating system, coupled with the interface of early BASIC, really sticks with me.
Something I would like to mention is that you can actually run programs directly from the editor by pressing F5, you don't have to exit and write #include. As for the editor itself, I believe it has nothing to do with Ed from Unix, it is completely new created by Terry as is everything else in this OS. Also the .CPP extension is old and doesn't have syntax highlighting so it's better to use .HC, but this was already mentioned in another comment by Slendi. Also about the OS being 16mb, that's actually the OS including tons of demos and like ~20 games. The actual barebones OS is only 2mb. Also just another thing to mention, yesterday was the 4th anniversary of Terry Davis's death, he died on August 11th 2018, may he rest in peace. Thank you so much for covering TempleOS!

Some people are known for designing programming languages (Dennis Richie, Larry Wall, Niklaus Wirth etc), and some are known for designing OS kernel (like Linus). Terry did both: a self-hosting OS. How many of you guys can do that? Sometimes the difference between "mad" and "genius" is super thin :)
I remember hearing about this guy- from what I remember, this OS is one of those things that’s really impressive just because it exists, even if the OS itself is awful. I felt really bad when I heard his story, it really makes you wonder when you see people like him. At least he got to make something for himself. I didn’t remember that he died, rest in peace.
As much of a controversial figure Terry Davis was, you can really see him shine in that interview he did at McDonald’s. The guy was really intelligent and knowledgeable about programming and can see how lucid he was when he talked about that subject. Sadly, he happened to be plagued with a mental condition he couldn't get help for and that effectively destroyed his life.
@@doozledorf7036 I've been on schizo pills as a sleeping aid before, I really can't blame him for refusing to take them. At least for the ones I got, the brain completely fogged up and doing anything while on them felt like an insurmountable task. For someone working on an OS, I can't imagine that's good.
At various points in my career I've worked on embedded systems, HPC systems, cloud deployments, compilers, kernels, libc and financial trading systems. Terry's work here makes me feel like a big dumb-dumb banging rocks together in comparison.
We are all cavemen in comparison to him. As everyone else on this comment section have pointed out. If he could do this in his state of mind, imagine what he could have done. If he wasn't plagued.
Great point about the size of a Bible app compared to the whole system. That's the example that made me really appreciate it, a lot of work and talent is in this.
Had to smile when I saw that he separated his games into fun and unfun. Ironically, it was often during his 'unfun' flight simulator that he'd get lost in thought. Rest in peace, Terrence Andrew Davis. This video was definitely one of the more informed looks at this operating system. It's as you say, most people either just focus on Terry or try to navigate three menus within the OS and then give up. You made it sound open-ended. Maybe we can return one day to T-OS and see if there are any secrets worth discovering. I find its very nature curious. It's open and accessible for everyone, just like a real temple. However, to make good use of Terry's OS you really have to speak (Holy) C fluently. You sort of have to be a jack of all trades even, like Terry was. Interested in games, interested in creating, interesting in sounds and graphics. Only then, I believe, you can create some meaningful program, update, add-on or whatever.
As a younger person learning programming, I would earnestly believe that the ultimate test of my programming skill would be to build an OS from scratch from the ground up. Now that I have seen someone capable of such an intense feat, I don't mind giving that title to Terry Davis. He has certainly earned it.
It's still hard to believe this guy made all this alone. Imagine if things went different and God sent him to work on IT research and development instead. With the right people to guide and help him, we could've get some major breakthroughs.
4:24 Thank you for the warning and for keeping in mind people with epilepsy or problems looking at flashing lights. For anyone with such problems, just remove your eyes before the 4:30 mark. Pop em right out.
I had never seen anyone explain it like you did, where you actually showed some of the features that stood out as you went through. Usually, if they do talk about the OS itself, they just look at it and say it looks weird, click on some stuff, then give up and talk about how weird terry was, like you said they do. I had heard some people recently say that Temple OS isn't anything particularly impressive. I don't know enough to disagree with them, but I think you do, so it makes me happy to see it appreciated in that kind of way from someone knowledgeable. May Terry rest in peace.
This is like digging up some metal, forging the metal into an ax, and then shopping down some trees with the ax, then making a house out of those trees
I think Terry was proof that Theurgy is real. I'm pretty sure anyone can get in touch with "god" (their soul) and find creative forms. Like divining somethimg Temple OS is very in line with the teachings of Iamblichus. its how humanity (Eyptian, Sumerian priests and Pythagoreans) slowly started to discover things like pitch, astronomy, fluid physics.
What a lot of people don't understand is that Terry's cursing was his minds way of protecting himself from others. His cursing was never meant as derogatory or to purposefully be racist. People with metal disabilities cannot defend themselves normally, physically. And though cursing is seen as a lower form of communication, it is still just that, communication. Though it may pierce the ears of the listener. The listener non-the less will hear him and understand his emotion by virtue of the curse word. And let us not forget one of the most versatile and (i.m.o. under-rated) + (and condemned) word in the English vocabulary is the word "Fuck". Good starter video to this journey into Temple OS Mr. Outlaw. I have no doubt Terry is smiling down on you from the 3rd Temple in which thou art in Heaven. In honor for Terry, God; bless Mental Outlaw and his many video channels on the different platforms, bless his family and those he cherishes. May you and Terry both keep him in your heart. Amen.
There's a couple new versions now - like Zenith OS and others. You should check that one out. From what I've seen (which isn't much), they are mostly just a GUI upgrade with higher resolution.
I really find it amazing that with all that God has on his plate... He still has the bandwidth to randomly generate a computer image upon request for users of temple OS. Truly astounding.
I used to watch his live streams sometimes, and he ran templeOS on QEMU. Edit: I'm seeing screenshots of both. I guess I caught him at a time he decided to be a true linux power user.
R.I.P. Terry A Davis. You were the realest ninja around, and your talents and genius were too good for this world. I hope you're having a blast in the world after, mowing down glow in the darks while Jesus rides shotgun.
Could you do another video on to the Tornado Cash situation? One of the devs got arrested today in the Netherlands just for working on the Open Source software. Very scary stuff
He had a dictionary inside a novel OS without network support. Just try to think how he got all those words inside. AND A BIBLE! Typed all manually? Found a way to mount another storage into it? It's just amazing level of commitment.
There was Optical Character Recognition in the 90s, it's possible he used a flatbed scanner to scan in the bible and dictionary and used OCR to convert the text to digital. I scanned in a book on George Stephenson in the 90s using Windows 3.1, to make an encyclopedia app in a program named Illuminatus. Edit: Looks like he downloaded and used a Project Gutenberg bible - you can see him laughing about it here: ruclips.net/video/ZXn4njGgfkE/видео.htmlsi=jcGlvsAJ2FW0hI4N&t=160
3d models visible right where you define them, when text is cut off it scrolls s.t. you can see the whole thing. I'm seeing some unique and consistent design philosophy (make stuff fully visible right where it's defined) that you can only really get when something is written by 1 person. When you have more than 1 person working on the same code it sort of becomes, as I think of it, "hive mind code", and hive mind code is garbage. Much respect to Terry for pushing forward with his own vision, there's a lot of useful concepts in there
I just want to add that in the newer versions of qemu, the -soundhw flag has been removed so you have to type this now. qemu-system-x86_64 ${your.disk} -m 1G -audiodev ${backend},id=${yourid} -machine pcspk-audiodev=${yourid} example: qemu-system-x86_64 Temple.disk -m 1G -audiodev pa,id=0 -machine pcspk-audiodev=0 you can use pa for pulseaudio or spice if you have a spice server configured. Hope this helps.
Thanks for the great adventure. I find Terry's OS a lot simpler and reasonable than any OS I've seen. In modern monster OS-es like Linux there are a lot of magic that is hard to understand until you face some specific problems. But here everything is pure. I understand that it is not as capable as modern systems and sooner or later during development you face problems that requires to either rewrite the whole project from scratch or use a duct tape.
As someone who is switching from Windows to Linux it is so i teresting to see someone switching from Linux to something new (not that they will be daily driving TempleOS xD)
A few things that may help you next time, you can actually scroll with your mouse wheel, and you can add paths to Dir so you don't have to Cd everywhere. Dir( "C:/Kernel/Mem" ); for instance.
When I was a kid in the ‘80s we used the LOGO programming game at school and as an adult I met the creator of the software as a Home theater installation technician in West Van, it was interesting to hear him talk about the way it was back then; he left the company (and California) because it was evident they were a bunch of communist apologists and he couldn’t operate a real business in that environment!
I still hope that someday someone does a PhD research crossover between psych and cs to look at TempleOS. I imagine there is a lot to be learned about schizophrenia in that code.
For comparison, I recall using WinLite to cut down the size of WinXP's iso to 111MB, Win7's iso minimum size was approximately 400-600MB. I haven't tried to cut stuff out of Win10 or Win11 but it's probably less flexible.

When someone mentioned VMWare to Terry back in 2008, he hadn't even heard of it, and even though he had absolutely no clue what it was, he said something about how it was probably slow and caused limitations. From his comment, it seemed like he didn't even realize VMWare was used for virtualization. What I did find with a quick search was a video where he's running TempleOS on QEMU. Maybe he used VMWare once he learned what it was, but this is what I know.
Here's a copy of his original comment on the OSDev forums: "I have no idea what VMWARE softwares (sic) does and don't care. All I know is it's likely to be slow and you'll struggle with additional constracnts (sic). The first thing I did was write an assembler and compiler so I could be independent. It may be too much for you guys." -- Oh, and another one he sent immediately after the one above: "I have no idea what VMWARE does except add complexity and slow things down. It's just an additional hurdle you're creating fighting with VMWARE. The first thing I did was write an assembler and compiler so I was independent. It took a year to reach that point. You guys probably work part time? I've been at mine for 5 years full time."
@@QuotePilgrimActually his comment indicates that he does know understand the concept of virtualization. The virtualized OS is slower and more constrained than a bare-metal install.
@@thorkappabrosilon I didn't say he didn't understand the concept of virtualization. I said he didn't know what VMWare was and didn't know it was used for virtualization. It would be impossible for his comment about VMWare to indicate he understood the concept of virtualization because he wasn't even aware that that was what VMWare was used for. Also QEMU is virtualization as well so it wouldn't make sense for him to have a problem with VMWare based solely on the fact that virtualization is its main function. He never ran TempleOS on bare metal as far as I'm aware, he always used QEMU.
@@thorkappabrosilon "I have no idea what VMWare softwares (sic) does and don't care" Sure, saying he has no idea what the software does doesn't indicate he doesn't know it's used for virtualization, right.

Some people are known for designing programming languages (Dennis Richie, Larry Wall, Niklaus Wirth etc), and some are known for designing OS kernel (like Linus). Terry did both: a self-hosting OS. How many of you guys can do that? Sometimes the difference between "mad" and "genius" is super thin :)
I only knew about Terry and TempleOS via Fredrik Knudsons channel. It was interesting to get a more technical look on his life's work. Thank you!

I remember hearing about this guy- from what I remember, this OS is one of those things that’s really impressive just because it exists, even if the OS itself is awful. I felt really bad when I heard his story, it really makes you wonder when you see people like him. At least he got to make something for himself. I didn’t remember that he died, rest in peace.
It's not awful as an OS made for tinkering, the GUI may be bad, but don't conflate GUI with OS.

As much of a controversial figure Terry Davis was, you can really see him shine in that interview he did at McDonald’s. The guy was really intelligent and knowledgeable about programming and can see how lucid he was when he talked about that subject. Sadly, he happened to be plagued with a mental condition he couldn't get help for and that effectively destroyed his life.
Do you have a link to that interview?
I've been waqnting to see that interview for a while? Any chance you can link it?

He DID get help for it for years... his parents tried for a very long time to get him treatment but he kept "running away"
@@doozledorf7036 I've been on schizo pills as a sleeping aid before, I really can't blame him for refusing to take them. At least for the ones I got, the brain completely fogged up and doing anything while on them felt like an insurmountable task. For someone working on an OS, I can't imagine that's good.
At various points in my career I've worked on embedded systems, HPC systems, cloud deployments, compilers, kernels, libc and financial trading systems. Terry's work here makes me feel like a big dumb-dumb banging rocks together in comparison.
We are all cavemen in comparison to him. As everyone else on this comment section have pointed out. If he could do this in his state of mind, imagine what he could have done. If he wasn't plagued.
There are no separation of privileges because we are all equal in the eyes of God.
Great point about the size of a Bible app compared to the whole system. That's the example that made me really appreciate it, a lot of work and talent is in this.
Had to smile when I saw that he separated his games into fun and unfun. Ironically, it was often during his 'unfun' flight simulator that he'd get lost in thought.
Rest in peace, Terrence Andrew Davis.
This video was definitely one of the more informed looks at this operating system. It's as you say, most people either just focus on Terry or try to navigate three menus within the OS and then give up. You made it sound open-ended. Maybe we can return one day to T-OS and see if there are any secrets worth discovering. I find its very nature curious. It's open and accessible for everyone, just like a real temple. However, to make good use of Terry's OS you really have to speak (Holy) C fluently. You sort of have to be a jack of all trades even, like Terry was. Interested in games, interested in creating, interesting in sounds and graphics. Only then, I believe, you can create some meaningful program, update, add-on or whatever.
It helps MO understands chan culture and probably has the same respect for this Davis like we do.
Maybe there are some secrets to be discovered with TempleOS
Terry was so smart that he went insane. Rest in peace
Keep in mind that there is a "Lite" version of the OS which is 2Mb
Something funny i found out is that the seat the pope sits on is called the "Holy See" so HolyC is a play on words
Even some normies use the word glowies. Without TempleOS Terry's legacy will still live on in the dictionary.

Thank you! Now make glowing three letter agency jokes and the circle is complete!
As a younger person learning programming, I would earnestly believe that the ultimate test of my programming skill would be to build an OS from scratch from the ground up. Now that I have seen someone capable of such an intense feat, I don't mind giving that title to Terry Davis. He has certainly earned it.
What title? Why would you be giving it?
Asking people if they ever talked to god is a great ice breaker in awkward social situations
I'm not a Christian, but I must admit this is so impressive and cool.
Still to this day the best work of a singular person. RIP Terry.
Ah, it's axiom that every tech youtuber will eventually cover TempleOS.
It's still hard to believe this guy made all this alone.
Imagine if things went different and God sent him to work on IT research and development instead. With the right people to guide and help him, we could've get some major breakthroughs.

Feds didn’t like Terry being so gawddamned based
I had never seen anyone explain it like you did, where you actually showed some of the features that stood out as you went through. Usually, if they do talk about the OS itself, they just look at it and say it looks weird, click on some stuff, then give up and talk about how weird terry was, like you said they do.
I had heard some people recently say that Temple OS isn't anything particularly impressive. I don't know enough to disagree with them, but I think you do, so it makes me happy to see it appreciated in that kind of way from someone knowledgeable.
May Terry rest in peace.
Solo-building an OS from scratch is truly impressive!
But the devil definitely sneaked in the font...
TempleOS is the legacy of a man that was truly blessed with the gift from God. RIP Terry
This is like digging up some metal, forging the metal into an ax, and then shopping down some trees with the ax, then making a house out of those trees
I think Terry was proof that Theurgy is real. I'm pretty sure anyone can get in touch with "god" (their soul) and find creative forms. Like divining somethimg Temple OS is very in line with the teachings of Iamblichus. its how humanity (Eyptian, Sumerian priests and Pythagoreans) slowly started to discover things like pitch, astronomy, fluid physics.
Thank you for covering this masterpiece. This is beyond inspiring.

His dad worked on the Triton nuclear missile systems. Both phenomenal achievements in their own right.
What a lot of people don't understand is that Terry's cursing was his minds way of protecting himself from others. His cursing was never meant as derogatory or to purposefully be racist. People with metal disabilities cannot defend themselves normally, physically. And though cursing is seen as a lower form of communication, it is still just that, communication. Though it may pierce the ears of the listener. The listener non-the less will hear him and understand his emotion by virtue of the curse word. And let us not forget one of the most versatile and (i.m.o. under-rated) + (and condemned) word in the English vocabulary is the word "Fuck". Good starter video to this journey into Temple OS Mr. Outlaw. I have no doubt Terry is smiling down on you from the 3rd Temple in which thou art in Heaven. In honor for Terry, God; bless Mental Outlaw and his many video channels on the different platforms, bless his family and those he cherishes. May you and Terry both keep him in your heart. Amen.
The most respectful and on point review on the OS i seen about him and or the OS, and i'm not even christian., thank you very much!,
There's a couple new versions now - like Zenith OS and others. You should check that one out. From what I've seen (which isn't much), they are mostly just a GUI upgrade with higher resolution.
i'm pretty sure one of them has networking and even discord.
dunno if it actually works tho, as i don't use discord.
I really find it amazing that with all that God has on his plate... He still has the bandwidth to randomly generate a computer image upon request for users of temple OS. Truly astounding.
It’s a shame we never got a Drake x Terry Davis collab. Great video as always Drizzy!
I used to watch his live streams sometimes, and he ran templeOS on QEMU.
Edit: I'm seeing screenshots of both. I guess I caught him at a time he decided to be a true linux power user.
Finally, an operating system safe from built in spyware
Cause the file size of the OS would noticeably change.
@@AxodusThe lack of networking support is probably a more significant obstacle for would be exploits. But yeah simplicity makes it easier to spot.
I love the idea of sprites embedded within source files. RIP Terry
R.I.P. Terry A Davis. You were the realest ninja around, and your talents and genius were too good for this world. I hope you're having a blast in the world after, mowing down glow in the darks while Jesus rides shotgun.

He had a dictionary inside a novel OS without network support. Just try to think how he got all those words inside. AND A BIBLE! Typed all manually? Found a way to mount another storage into it? It's just amazing level of commitment.
There was Optical Character Recognition in the 90s, it's possible he used a flatbed scanner to scan in the bible and dictionary and used OCR to convert the text to digital. I scanned in a book on George Stephenson in the 90s using Windows 3.1, to make an encyclopedia app in a program named Illuminatus.
Edit: Looks like he downloaded and used a Project Gutenberg bible - you can see him laughing about it here: ruclips.net/video/ZXn4njGgfkE/видео.htmlsi=jcGlvsAJ2FW0hI4N&t=160
3d models visible right where you define them, when text is cut off it scrolls s.t. you can see the whole thing. I'm seeing some unique and consistent design philosophy (make stuff fully visible right where it's defined) that you can only really get when something is written by 1 person. When you have more than 1 person working on the same code it sort of becomes, as I think of it, "hive mind code", and hive mind code is garbage. Much respect to Terry for pushing forward with his own vision, there's a lot of useful concepts in there
I just want to add that in the newer versions of qemu, the -soundhw flag has been removed so you have to type this now.
qemu-system-x86_64 ${your.disk} -m 1G -audiodev ${backend},id=${yourid} -machine pcspk-audiodev=${yourid}
example: qemu-system-x86_64 Temple.disk -m 1G -audiodev pa,id=0 -machine pcspk-audiodev=0
you can use pa for pulseaudio or spice if you have a spice server configured. Hope this helps.
"Its probably one of the most impressive programming projects, especially done by a single person" I think you are forgetting roller coaster tycoon
he even made his own version of C for this thing like sometimes you gotta wonder if it really was gods 3rd temple
Ofcourse it was.
There is no question. I'm also an atheist.
Thanks for the great adventure. I find Terry's OS a lot simpler and reasonable than any OS I've seen. In modern monster OS-es like Linux there are a lot of magic that is hard to understand until you face some specific problems. But here everything is pure. I understand that it is not as capable as modern systems and sooner or later during development you face problems that requires to either rewrite the whole project from scratch or use a duct tape.
I think I've watched every temple os video on the internet since 2015 when the vice motherboard article came out about him.
As someone who is switching from Windows to Linux it is so i teresting to see someone switching from Linux to something new (not that they will be daily driving TempleOS xD)
Whenever people thinks they are better, i always think about this project.
Terry like John Nash, was a genius with a catch. RIP terry, see you in heaven with the big guy one day.
A few things that may help you next time, you can actually scroll with your mouse wheel, and you can add paths to Dir so you don't have to Cd everywhere. Dir( "C:/Kernel/Mem" ); for instance.
We miss you, Terry. Hopefully in a kingdom of his own now
When I was a kid in the ‘80s we used the LOGO programming game at school and as an adult I met the creator of the software as a Home theater installation technician in West Van, it was interesting to hear him talk about the way it was back then; he left the company (and California) because it was evident they were a bunch of communist apologists and he couldn’t operate a real business in that environment!
I still hope that someday someone does a PhD research crossover between psych and cs to look at TempleOS. I imagine there is a lot to be learned about schizophrenia in that code.
For comparison, I recall using WinLite to cut down the size of WinXP's iso to 111MB, Win7's iso minimum size was approximately 400-600MB.
I haven't tried to cut stuff out of Win10 or Win11 but it's probably less flexible.
I did the same on 7... my tech enthusiast friend thought i was high off my ass
Do you still have that windows XP iso?

When someone mentioned VMWare to Terry back in 2008, he hadn't even heard of it, and even though he had absolutely no clue what it was, he said something about how it was probably slow and caused limitations. From his comment, it seemed like he didn't even realize VMWare was used for virtualization.
What I did find with a quick search was a video where he's running TempleOS on QEMU. Maybe he used VMWare once he learned what it was, but this is what I know.
Here's a copy of his original comment on the OSDev forums:
"I have no idea what VMWARE softwares (sic) does and don't care. All I know is it's likely to be slow and you'll struggle with additional constracnts (sic).
The first thing I did was write an assembler and compiler so I could be independent. It may be too much for you guys."
--
Oh, and another one he sent immediately after the one above:
"I have no idea what VMWARE does except add complexity and slow things down. It's just an additional hurdle you're creating fighting with VMWARE.
The first thing I did was write an assembler and compiler so I was independent. It took a year to reach that point. You guys probably work part time?
I've been at mine for 5 years full time."
@@QuotePilgrimActually his comment indicates that he does know understand the concept of virtualization. The virtualized OS is slower and more constrained than a bare-metal install.
@@thorkappabrosilon I didn't say he didn't understand the concept of virtualization. I said he didn't know what VMWare was and didn't know it was used for virtualization.
It would be impossible for his comment about VMWare to indicate he understood the concept of virtualization because he wasn't even aware that that was what VMWare was used for.
Also QEMU is virtualization as well so it wouldn't make sense for him to have a problem with VMWare based solely on the fact that virtualization is its main function.
He never ran TempleOS on bare metal as far as I'm aware, he always used QEMU.
@@QuotePilgrim Okay, but that comment he made does not indicate that he did not know VMWare was for virtualization.
@@thorkappabrosilon "I have no idea what VMWare softwares (sic) does and don't care"
Sure, saying he has no idea what the software does doesn't indicate he doesn't know it's used for virtualization, right.
