The Neura Chronicles

Act I: The Glow of the Tube (Part 1/2)

Back then, an idea was born. A vision of a desktop that combined the power of Unix with the simplicity of a modern interface. I didn't call it NeuraBSD back then. It was the precursor to everything I do today. A project that started so grandly... and one that, years later, would almost lead me to never touch a line of code again.

But before we get to the failure, we need to understand how the dream was born.

The Neura Chronicles

Act I: The Glow of the Tube (Part 1/1)

It's the mid-2000s. The only light in the room emanates from the flicker of a bulky CRT monitor. Back then, the world of operating systems was still a playground for adventurers. While most were content with what was presented to them, there was that one moment – that spark: The realization that a system could be more than just a tool. It could be a philosophy.

I remember the first attempts to understand the kernel. It felt like opening the hood of a supercar without being a mechanic. But the drive was stronger: I wanted a system that didn't feel like a foreign object but like an extension of one's own thinking.

🌀 NeuraBSD: The Foundation is Laid.

Building an OS isn't an overnight task, but today, the architectural blueprint for #NeuraBSD has been finalized.

The core structure is in place: 🔹 CoreSeed: Our gateway to the system (Installer). 🔹 DaemonPath: The bridge between hardware and kernel (Boot Manager). 🔹 AxonSurface: Where design meets performance (Desktop Environment).

All built upon the rock-solid foundation of OpenBSD 7.8. The skeleton is ready for the first lines of code. The journey truly begins now!
