Hey, what an amazing project, bravo!
i would suggest to providing an iso or co-operating / looking into copy.sh which provides a large number of iso files which you can boot/play around with in the browser itself!
I was just today tinkering around with the ibm iso (exploring ibm) and others too, its always fun seeing new operating system!
I would love if you could, as I said, co-operate with copy.sh/v86 team to also include your iso and also provide iso files in github releases if possible

Damn man, this is awesome. This should land you a job damn near anywhere.
One of the biggest headaches for me is memory bugs when codebase grows large. So I 'm very interested: is this a headache for you too and how do you deal with this?
Yes, I think most of the time working on the project was working ob fixing memory bugs. GDB did a great job for me, have you tried to use it?
Would recommend making a good youtube video with demo.
wrongfully assuming 128MB for the whole OS was enough
If I were you I'd investigate why it needs so much. Keep in mind how much functionality older OSs had, and how much computing power they needed. Always good to see more OS projects nonetheless, but always remember that efficiency is important.
Hey, it was enough for most basic stuff, but only running Doom or more advanced things would need above that.
Eh, I tend to do the same (significantly over-estimate RAM requirements) since it's hard to know just how much RAM you'll need to begin with. Though usually for something like the stack I start with 256-512K.
I did this (worked on an OS) from 2019-2022 or so, during college. Didn't get to user mode sadly. Did it in Rust because back then Rust was what I was really into. It was really fun! :) OS dev has always been fun/interesting :)
Awesome. Should take a look at TempleOS as well.
