Exploring Minimalist Operating Systems: A Deep Dive into the 1000-Line OS Concept
[Technical Overview] The idea of creating a fully functional operating system with just 1000 lines of code might seem like a theoretical exercise. However, it represents a powerful approach to understanding the core principles of operating system design. This minimalist approach, often achieved through microkernel architectures and very specific use cases, prioritizes efficiency and a deep understanding of the hardware. It stands in stark contrast to the complexity of modern, general-purpose operating systems like Linux or Windows....
