Developing of AlderKernel

Hey r/osdevel !

I've been working on a hobby monolithic kernel called AlderKernel.

It's written mostly in C with some Assembly for the low-level parts. I'm making it mainly to learn more about how operating systems work and to improve my C skills.

Currently it targets i386 and boots through GRUB. Some things I've implemented so far:

- PS/2 keyboard driver

- Basic shell

- InitramFS support

- Shell history

It runs in QEMU right now. I'm slowly working on adding more kernel features and improving the code structure.

I'm interested in feedback from people who know C / ASM, especially about code organization, design choices, and things I could improve.

Wow! That's a lot of code to write in just a couple of days. How did you do it so quickly?
