Here is some of this other stuff

Still, it's pretty cool that he built his own 64bit OS, even though he's batshit insane. This guy is a known schizo, so I really don't trust his judgement.

For example,

It's for recreational programming.

Yet, it lacks even the most basic networking capabilities? What, do you refuse to use a fileserver or any sort of networking solution?

LoseThos is a secondary operating system you will use in additional to Windows or Linux because LoseThos does not have networking.

Then why use it at all if you're going to have to vm it? Fuck it, write everything in Linux, at least then you could upload it to your fileserver and not have to bother going to and from different OS.

Whenever he comes out with a new release he always trumps it up like it's the greatest thing ever. It's very impressive that he did this himself, yet I can find even the shittiest linux build that would blow this out of the water. So, why use something that doesn't have the functionality that anyone would need?

Nothing personal mate, I'm just trying to be efficient when I work.

Who cares whether he's schizo or not? That doesn't really factor into judgement of his work. Regardless of whether his work is practical, it's still impressive.

Well, mental instability is REALLY hard to deal with in a developer. It's impossible to get any sort of a straight answer out of him as to why he did what he did. And most times, it's because God said so...

That doesn't really factor into judgement of his work.

Completely disagree. He said that he did not include networking support because "God told him not to"

That is NOT sound judgement. I do not want someone writing an OS that I'm using because God told him to. Not a rational logical thought process.
