Porting WINE to a new Hobby OS

https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://astral-os.org/posts/2026/04/03/wine-on-astral.html

(Completly forgot posting this lol) Have shopped a bit for older hardware to build an osdev system (end of 2025 - before the market crashed);

In the pic:
Board: MSI MS-7027
CPU: Athlon 3000+
Memory: 512MB ram
Graphics: Gigabyte GV-AR64S ATI Radeon 7500LE 64MB AGP

Also got an ATI Rage 128 which I want to start using for the first graphics driver then switching to the Radeon when once it works.

Still very happy about it (but sadly not much time to work on). Currently sits in a box since I ALSO didn't have time to get an enclosure / testbench setup for it yet.

I wanna get into #osdev but only because I'm so fucking tired of tech shit...

I wanna write not just an OS, but a standard. I want to correct mistakes from 40 years ago. We should have had a "platform.h" or something that expanded the stdin/stdout/stderr shit with a new platformin/platform out/platformerr or an addendum to the existing stdin etc...

We shouldnt have to write code to create a window. Devs have far too much agency... We need to rethink the whole c standard library...

I can boot now my x64 kernel on native UEFI hardware - like my AMD Ryzen system with 128 GB RAM. It uses the provided GOP framebuffer to draw a pseudo console to the screen.

The legacy BIOS boot path (on older hardware) supports now also the VBE-based graphics mode for the console. #osdev #rust #rustlang
