Steel OS to resume some development


After what I previously said, I still feel very intrigued with working on Steel OS.

As such, I will continue work on future Steel OS releases. But, I have a LOT of work to do, and I of course, have NanamiOS on my plate. That OS now has PCI support and is having VGA support currently in development.

Before I proceed with a major release of Steel OS, likely called Steel OS 4, I want to clean up any issues and the literal dumpster fire that Steel OS currently is in: Though nothing will likely be able to fix the literal hell that is called software development for Steel OS, I want to at least give proper code documentation and give Steel OS 3 some proper modding regions, namely in Photo Gallery, Music Player, and the user's backgrounds. Plus, I will provide updated, megapatch releases of Steel OS 1.2, 2.3, and 2.51, named 1.21, 2.31, and 2.52 respectively. PLS (Post-Legacy Support) releases Steel OS 1.0, 1.73 (not including the Japanese variant), and Steel OS 2.0 will get Q4 2023 or Q1 2024 patches.

I also forgot to mention, but today marks one year since I began development on Steel OS 1.0. Nice... ^_^

So, what'll happen to Steel OS 3, is that an updated version called Steel OS 3 SR-1 will begin development to patch any bugs in the code, and update/add a few features. I, of course, given that I have other major projects, will be rolling these updates out over time. Don't expect these to occur overnight.

It's generally a neat little hobby project (like NanamiOS), and I'll likely continue to develop it over a long-term goal.

Sure, I am rather young, and as such, I am able to complete what could take YEARS to develop in just the span of a handful of months, and I can edit long videos in just 48 hours, but I don't want to turn my motivation into nothing. That's kinda where I'm at with Steel OS right now, as it feels boring to work on.


So, yeah. I'm just leaving this update to say, "hey, I've changed my mind!!", and, yeah.

Get Steel OS
