Dude, I'm impressed cause I don't the energy to build my own OS kernel!
But here's a wacky idea. Just set it up so that the OS only runs DOOM as default. Boots directly into Qemu and runs DOOM, nothing to select or change. Maybe something you could fold other games into so that they can run off a USB boot loader. Might be appealing to people who don't want to install or compromise their base setup.
I could probably do that. The init program, which is a userspace program called by the kernel which spawns everything else, currently enters the shell but it'd be quite simple to make it just boot into Doom immediately. It's still not quite stable enough for actual usage, but it is able to boot off a USB at the moment, yes.
