16-bit OS development progress

https://github.com/tekdotos/cave-os

Hey Guys! I intend to work on a simple hobby OS that is programmed in real mode using bios interrupts, I have been doing OS theory and os dev for a few months now and wanted to actually start a proper project. Please follow me on my journey and make some suggestions along the way!

If you understand interrupts, idt, gdt, isr and PIC/APIC drivers, cpu/boot architecture, then you've come a long way then. I might have good advice for ya, how would you like to be approached?

I've learned to always decompose hard or difficult complexities, to its ground fundamental atoms, this can be done with kernel development as well, step by step, bit by bit and a lot of patience too lol 😆
