Hi, congratulations! You must be feeling proud. Nice choice of proof of concept (DOOM). Sorry to disappoint you but all I have are some noob questions. What would be the steps to run this on a laptop? I take it that after building it there would be a process similar to, say, setting up dual-boot in a Windows PC? (Whoa I'm asking a stranger on the Internet how to run dangerous software on my computer...) If one wanted to undertake such a project, do you have any recommendations of textbooks or other reading material? I had some OS & related courses in university (I'm EE, so computer-adjacent), but they were all very abstract / high level / conceptually-focused. I'd love something more concrete. It doesn't have to be x64. |

I would recommend checking out https://osdev.wiki to start out if you want to write a kernel, as well as reading relevant specifications (such as Intel Developer Manual and the specs for any drivers you write). I don't really know much about non-x86 kernel dev but most of the concepts are the same as far as I know, just different technical implementations. There's a link to a discord server on the project's readme, there are some very smart people in there who I'm sure would be more than happy to help you out.
