Taking advantage of the fact that #Emacs is already practically a de facto operating system, projects like 'Emacs From Scratch' would be great, teaching how to compile Emacs directly on a Linux kernel and use it as a toolchain to build an entire operating ecosystem in Lisp. Another project, 'From Bootloader to Emacs,' could implement Emacs on bare metal as a Lisp virtual machine. Dreaming is free (and also freedom).#emacsdreams #EFS #bootloader2emacs #emacslisp

@jsc That sounds actually like a very good idea! Emacs has almost anything you would need from a good OS. 👍

@louis I think the same thing. This summer, I will tinker with Linux From Scratch and try to compile Emacs directly on the kernel to see how functional it is. If it goes well and others are interested, I will share the notes I take so that we don't all stumble upon the same problems.
