I wish instead of discussing typos, folks her who surely know better (or author) could shed light on how this project compares to the many other existing projects, like

https://github.com/cfenollosa/os-tutorial, https://littleosbook.github.io/, https://github.com/tuhdo/os01, https://github.com/prakhar1989/awesome-courses?tab=readme-ov...

or even just "OPERATING SYSTEMS DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION" by Tanenbaum

Well from what I can see all the examples you've linked are in C, and this one is Rust? That counts for something I guess?

    What does that matter for learning how operating systems work?

    But even then, SAYING that this is an how-to-build-an-OS project similar to those others, but focused on Rust, would be quite helpful.

      my rust is stronger than my c. been wanting to learn OS development and this being in somethign I already know lets me focus specifically on the os specific stuff rather than also needing to deepdive into c. a language I haven't so much as glanced at in almost 10 years

      Well for a start C grew up next to the OS it was being used to build, so it was really intended for kernel/systems programming from the very get-go. Rust has taken a lot longer to get there. That's all.
