"KolibriOS is VERY light on system requirements, using as little as 1MB of disk space and 8MB RAM to run. In terms of processing power, Intel's original Pentium (P5 microarchitecture) or compatible processor is sufficient to fully enjoy KolibriOS."

"This speed is achieved since the core parts of KolibriOS (kernel and drivers) are written entirely in FASM assembly language"

why aren't you running the objectively fastest operating system

it's got a word processor, image viewer and web browser so it covers every base you need

making software in assembly is like drawing a picture on the computer pixel by pixel zoomed in at 10000% without a monitor

actually its in 'flat assembly' which is apparently even harder and even lighter than run of the mill assembly from what i hear

best comparison ive heard is "imagine building the burj dubai by hand with bricks that are stuck together with hand-mixed concrete"

if it's made in fasm then shouldn't it only be compatible with very few amd processors let alone intel ones as well

amd is way easier to program in assembly for since you don't have to have numbers stored from right to left like with retarded intel

"i586 compatible CPU required"

seems pretty open to use
