I did not realize but I made an equivalent of a OS for writer deck that fits on a single floppy!

It boots latest Linux, spawns console and have Vi for editing persisted files on that boot floppy. Runs on 486 CPU.


I've updated the code to stable version moments ago!

Official homepage is here: https://smol.p1x.in/os/


I got obsessed with Stable Diffusion. I get past the honeymoon period generating everything I could imagine, and now I'm trying to actually incorporate it in my daily work. Furthermore, I'm sharing my experiments here https://bits-next.p1x.in/generating-perfect-grass-textures.h...

Another new and exciting thing for me is the Gemini protocol. The simple, low-tech internet. I started porting all my texts/websites to my own capsule at gemini://floppy.p1x.in (server from real 3.5" floppy!)

Updated images: https://bits.p1x.in/floppinux-update-0-2-1/

With sample application and KIOSK mode.


Did you try qemu-system-x86_64 instead?


It could be 2 things:

- you compiled some parts in 64 bits and try to run the QEMU 32 bit system. Try qemu-system-x86_64

- you do not enabled starting #! scripts in the kernel


Nice catch! Thanks.


Thanks! When I saw how clean and easy it can be in just a few steps I needed to share that knowledge!

For me it's the best way to learn Linux.
