Terry was a brilliant, brilliant man and TempleOS is an incredible achievement. It might be easy to call it impractical and useless if your goal with an OS is daily use, but it was never intended to be. It was a terminal for recreational programming and within that vision, I'd say it's pretty solid. While it's great he got out on his own instead of becoming an office rat for some major company with no regard for brilliance, it's extremely sad genius ended up so far in his delusions.

It wasn't a "crash" - he reached the age of his mental disease kicking in, as most schizophrenics do between the ages of 20-25. Terry was not a drug addict. Edit - his parents were there for him and it was ultimately Terry's decision for his life to end - they told him he had to take his meds or he couldn't live there anymore. Terry chose to say no to his meds. He needed that medicine but didn't want to take it. Take that however you will - this man needed help he wasn't getting. End of the day - I don't like your video because you touched some parts of his life incorrectly. People who watch this don't realize that, they just eat it up.

I added in networking and basic GPU support. He coding is definitely odd, yet efficient in that same vein

It could be created with the same purposes not as an operating system but as an application under another operating system. As that purposes was clearly (for me) to provide a development environment with specific characteristics as a limited resolution an number of colours and a specific programming language, a user application under a common used operating system would cover the purposes. And as it lacks some convenient features like internet connection, it is used commonly under a virtual machine under another operating system, so it is at the end the way it is used. But perhaps it planned to extend it over the years to make it able to use it as a usual operating system. Who knows. I see a pedagogical potential in it. I mean it could be used by someone to learn programming.

TempleOS wasn’t finished until 2013. The first PC’s with 64 bit architecture came out in 2003. It took him 10 years to make it. I believe he did build it for 32-but and then ported it later.

Terry Davis was clearly a targeted individual with V2K

He was diagnosed with schizophrenia when he was 3 years old

I often see people worship others (especially in tech because most aren’t knowledgeable enough, including the tech people) simply because they can’t wrap their head around what the other person achieved. People definitely do impressive things but not so much that you worship them. Like Terry said, it’s a sign of the “average IQ” that they praise complexity that confuses them. Like all worships, people take this heavily personal. Temple OS has been the only exception that comes to mind which is truly worth “worship praise” because no matter how deep and profound of an understanding you can have, creating an OS from scratch without any help is a phenomenal achievement. Nobody else has ever done it… and I don’t think anyone else will… Terry truly made his name unique in all of human history.

1) He was not a drug user... this is a gross misrepresentation of schizophrenia. 2) Temple was never meant to go online. Comparing it to anything else that can is obscene. 3) Operating systems have been built (and forked) just for gaming. 4) Measuring impact doesn't yield much? Wtf? Is this even a tech channel? Do you actually understand how brilliant this endeavor was? The compiler bit is as much a joke as it isn't. It's baffling if you understand the magnitude of this feat.

The sound effect at 1:03 and onwards is very loud and annoying compared to the voice. There isn't one language called assembly, every processor architecture has its own assembly language. How did you come up with this weird idea that MS-DOS outperforms TempleOS in every aspect? Have you ever looked at the commands and system calls that DOS provides? Seems more the other way round to me. The only thing that stands out to me is the printer support of DOS. Why do you say that no gaming OS exists? Most modern game consoles run their own gaming OSs. Also, you can do low level gaming programming for games on the usual Desktop OSs as well. It's just that you don't get the performance boost which you get from ring-0, identity-mapping and cooperative multitasking.

This assessment is a bit unfair. Especially when comparing it to Linux - it's apples to oranges. It was never meant to be like that. However, the kernel itself of TempleOS is 64-bit and multicore, so it's totally capable of WAY WAY more than what terry did with it. It was arbitrarily limited to 640 by 480 because Terry said God wanted that, but honestly would be perfectly capable of running a GUI and a window manager just like Linux or Windows. The fact it looks so old and dated is simply cause he's using the BIOS screen 12h which is built into all modern motherboards and doesn't require any drivers at all. One could certainly write a driver to run a modern graphics card and it would behave just like a modern OS. While true that TempleOS in it's current form, is pretty much useless, the foundation and the principles behind it are groundbreaking and could be useful in other scenarios. For example, the language (HolyC) could be used on it's own. In fact, the compiler has been isolated from the OS and can run on Linux or other operating systems. It's a great improvement over the C language and could be comparable to something such as Google Go. Secondly, the OS actually compiles itself in it's own language. I can see the Holiness in it. It's like it just "is", like "I am that I am". This concept has never been done before. I think that it would be great to have a new OS to compete with Linux and Windows because they are both bloated AF these days.

It's more like a religious art project mixed with a revival of older style of computing which didn't have so many platforms on top of each other. TBH when I use old computers, I can feel the "holiness" as the machine itself reacts to the computer code in real time. A revival of that kind of computer is something that I think many people want, and something that making platforms more secure has taken away, and younger generations don't get to experience. Terry himself says as much when he talks about Linux, though his "CIA" language choice makes it hard to understand.
