It’s currently running on Linux, Windows through WSL, macOS, and Android, and Kling states the Linux version if the best tested one.

Since all the code is new – this isn’t a fork or Blink, WebKit, or Gecko – you can imagine this isn’t exactly going to be an easy ride. If he can organise the same amount of enthusiasm for Ladybird, it has a real shot at becoming a successful, but niche, browser.įor now, it’s very early days, and Kling is open and honest about how much work is still left to do. His work on SerenityOS is simply stunning and inspirational, attracting hundreds of people to work on a ’90s-inspired alternative desktop operating system. If there is one person who can pull off making a web browser and turning it into a successful-enough open source application, it’s Andreas Kling. Today I’m updating them a little bit: in addition to building a new OS for myself, I’m also going to build a cross-platform web browser.

Throughout this incredible expansion, my own goals have remained the same. We’ve gone from nothing to a capable system with its own browser stack in the last 4 years. What started as a little therapy project for myself has blossomed into a huge OSS community with hundreds of people working on it all over the world.

Since starting the SerenityOS project in 2018, my goal has been “to build a complete desktop operating system to eventually use as my daily driver”. Adobe to acquire Figma in a deal worth $20 billion The first step was to identify all global variables used by the M68K emulator, which were surprisingly few. And no function prototype needs to change. Each emulated M68K thread writes to its own M68K state, not interfering with another thread. When a deeply nested function needs to access global state, instead of using a global variable, it gets a pointer to its local storage. Each thread has access to a private memory region that the main thread can setup in advance. The solution I came up with uses something called thread local storage. Pumpkin OS is multi-threaded from the start, but several parts of the operating system rely on old parts of Palm OS that were never meant to be multi-threaded – such as the M68K emulator used to run Palm OS applications written for that architecture. The developer of Pumpkin OS ( which we talked about before), a port of the Palm OS to x86-64, has written a very interesting post about dealing with multi-threading.
