    @randogoth There is some doubts as to if this is connected in any way to the actual historic DR-DOS operating system; beyond the name/trademark. The about page admits this is a "re-implementation".

    Which in 2026 feels at risk of being vibe coded.

    EDIT: Mostly stating this for anyone like me; who was briefly excited by the idea of the original being resurrected.

    @trashheap @randogoth they seem to have over 1000 revisions over 9 months. It's possible for someone working full time on such a project, but it's hard to say

    @trashheap which in itself isn't per se a bad thing if done right by engineers. Assembler debugging is very likely more efficiently done by an LLM. Having worked on some DOS software myself lately I have to admit without coding agent help I would have thrown my computer out the window after hours of trying to dig through interrupt docs and C89 quirks. But I get what you mean. Makes me wanna test this one out even more...
