I am not going on this creative adventure with you, sorry.
For anyone else reading: The OS was originally called "LosethOS" as in "lose the OS" and was a personal project in exploring how powerful a personal computer really is if we take away modern abstraction layers. The OS had some cool concepts of a raw C shell integrated directly with programs, and inline "SVG-like" code comments, and more.
It was not something you could deploy for daily use or production environments, but it was a power flex on what is actually possible, and made a lot of us in tech reconsider whether some of the abstraction layers we take as "automatic" actually help us more than they slow us down and make our power bills go up.
The core ideas are still found in things like CollapseOS today. Not sure if the inspiration is direct or indirect, but it is still cool.
Him renaming it TempleOS came later, when he was already deep in struggles. It derailed the core interesting parts as far as I was concerned, but it helped him find meaning, which I don't hold against him.
