Someday I want to design an OS that eschews all the things in modern OSes I find annoying/overrated.
So, something like:
* Monochrome only
* Roughly XGA resolution
* No or limited networking, like maybe only telnet/BBSes
* Only one CPU, maybe 24-bit addressing
* Absolutely no JS/WASM/rust/buzzword compiler
* Bitmapped fonts only
* Lots of underappreciated languages: Pascal, Forth, maybe a good BASIC implementation 😆
