There is a massive amount of operating systems already. List of operating systems.

Why would you like to create a new one? A lot of the existing systems are specialized for use case and or hardware.

If you want something for general PC use then you have the software problem afterwards, an OS is useless without software support. You need a critical mass of supported software before it takes off. Means money and time.

If you want to make it windows compatible you have the copyright problem, if you are flying to close to the sun it will burn you before you get to your destination .

TL:DR to high effort, low outcome.

You can still edit titles you know

Works on Boost for Lemmy here

You can still edit the title

Not sure if this is a good thing. My 21+ still going strong and to be honest I have no clue what to pick next if it fails. Long update and security support is a must so it makes decision even harder.

Edit: Fairphone 5 would be an option but I like to have QI charging capabilities.

Calibre Server to host.

KOreader to install on my favorite reader and direct connect to calibre.

Pocketbook as my favorite reader.

This is a repost from my suggestion some weeks ago:

I went for the ASRock J5040 board, 16gb ram a 500gb m.2 as system using a PCI adapter , 2x4tb ironwolf as ZFS mirror pool, 350 W power supply all in the node 304 fractal case for 550 euro alltogether.

Runs proxmox as hypervisor for VM or Container. 6 LXC running motioneye, plex, pyload with openvpn, syncthing, rclone cloud backup and openbookshelf.

Typical power usage is around 20W

That said it could also run on PicoPSU

Jep, low carb, no added sugars.

Select food that keeps the blood sugar from going nuts.

Not yet. All of the LXC containers run on 2 cores of the 4 and 2gb of RAM and 512MB swap where reserved. I can address more power if needed.

As none of my services run constant on full power the low power of the CPU is not a problem. I serve only my home with it.

We (3) use Touch HD 3 since several years now. As an upgrade (larger screen and side holding) we just ordered one Era in silver (16gb).

I started with a pocketbook 360, a 5 inch side holding reader. It is nice to see that they go back to another side holder version again, the 360 was, because of this, my favourite.

I use a pocketbook since years now.
