You can checkout what I replied to jchw. But tldr, wanted to do DOS => got ambitious => made it multitasking => got more ambitious => added graphics and guis.

Currently it's pretty barren driver-wise, I currently have a FAT16 driver, a keyboard/mouse driver, some basic code to handle core architecture hardware and that's it. I really want to have CDROM support, a network driver (ne2k or e1000), an audio driver (sound blaster?) and an actual file system.

My roadmap is go with the flow. If I want a text editor, I'll focus on building a text editor. If I want to play doom I'll port doom (but I dont so I won't :^)
