It's how I learned lower level programming. TempleOS is a lot of fun but the community around it is very 4chan/kiwifarms. I never jived with that.

During the pandemic I was showing my buddies the game I'd made in TempleOS on Discord, and after a bit the conversation moved on and I was just playing idly, and my character died. The screen went black and error text showed up. My buddy interrupted the conversation with "wait, does the game just segfault when you die!?".

"Of course not. The game didn't segfault, the operating system did." The bug lasted for months and would just kill the entire OS every time you died. It was a lot of fun.
