  • This is WORKING code. BTW print() is a custom function.

    It's not as hard as people make it out to be. It's taken me a year or so of stupidity to write an OS that has the ability to load programs and all sorts of fun stuff (Not complete and whatever but it's something): https://github.com/MandelbrotOS/MandelbrotOS
  • OS's in C is it Linux based ?

    Some do write OSes based on the Linux kernel, although I find the vast majority don't. But a large group will strive for POSIX compliancy so they get code compatibility but not binary compatibility. I suggest you do some much simpler stuff in C before you write an OS. I learned C by writing OSes and it was a really bad idea. Learn C and it's quirks before doing an OS. Some sauce to peak at (very bad)
  • Assembly but it's deeply cursed with macros

    It’s probs ok. I have all the ASM working already. https://github.com/MandelbrotOS/MandelbrotOS btw
  • Iret causes general protection fault in long mode
    2 projects | /r/osdev | 12 Apr 2021
    I had this recently too. I am not sure why it caused it but I learned from here: https://forum.osdev.org/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=27373 that you can just do iretq and it seems to work. You could also just do sti and ret. Also I learned the hard way: do not copy 32 bit dit code to long mode. It always ends up bad. I have a project running that seems to have working interrupts. Use it for inspiration all you want. https://github.com/MandelbrotOS/MandelbrotOS/ Also excuse the bad code on my parts.
