OS Development?

[Simon Thomassen]

Hi guys! I am a computer expert, and i want to develop a new os...

But i need help/tips!

Should i code a Computer OS or a Phone OS first?

I dont know what peoples need if they need phone os or computer os...

If you are a computer expert, why are you asking us? We don't need either since we already have many to choose from, but I'd say a computer OS would be easier to create based on hardware you have available to use.

Hmmm, i think someone want to try out something different than just Linux, Mac OS X and Windows...

And i want to create something new and different but i dont know what...

An expert would have done some real-world research, put together the data, and then made a decision, from that data, on what the market will embrace - and what you should ultimately focus on.

Asking a bunch of random people on a computer forum to make an arbitrary choice for you is kinda pointless.

How do you plan on developing this OS?

If you are as good as you say, just make a unified OS that works the same on x86 and ARM hardware.

There are a few BSD/Unix varieties to throw in there.

The main problem is that it will take years upon years to mature and become a viable OS.
The quoted cost of recreating the Linux kernel is something like 10 billion dollars and that was in 2008..

Technically, if I compile source for ARM instead x86 it should work the same. I assume you actually want something that detects what I'm running and picks the right images from a single installer.

Being the expert, I'm sure I don't need to tell you that these are really the same thing. Android, for example, uses the Linux kernel as the base.

So, what language to you plan to write in?

If you want to build an entirely new OS that does not use a Linux base, well... good luck! Creating a full blown operating system is not something someone can do in a few days just to try it out.
