  • 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.

    Edit: spelling

  • VM should work. For B4i (ios) you need also a mac for compile afaik.

    The output runs on win, linux, server, mac, ios, android or arduino. Depending on what you used b4a, b4i, b4j or b4r. The syntax is the same eveywhere.

    The crossplatform libary b4x pages makes sure that the same program look and feel can be compiled to various platforms without to much hassle.

  • I made some apps for my own use.

    One is a food score browser. It connects to an offline database supplied with the apk and shows search results in a scrollable list as well as details on select. You can search in english and german the same time.

  • I know I won`t make friends with this but check out B4A.

    Its a "BASIC like" syntax (no its not basic spaghetti code) in a RAD environment that outputs native java code apk.

    Its free and a good support forum. You could even put your app on the store

    Edit: you could also compile to java for pc and ios software

  • 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.

  • Just my thought.

    A new version or #6 will not change this. Cross-gen for the sake of making money takes away exclusivity.

    Nintendo took his chance by betting on mobile.

    A lot of remakes and no risk for new ideas. The market is feed up and also mobile smartphone casual gaming takes its toll.

    They would better save the money for a new hardware and try to bring some fresh ideas.

    Just my 5c

  • DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol ) is a communication protocol that is used to coordinate a network via a server. The server in most home cases is your internet router. It coordinates the network.

    Think of your network as a town with streets, every street has a unique name aka network address. So when a new device gets into the town it gets a unique address in a certain format, when requested by the clients. Mostly IPv4 i.e. 192.168.178.20.

    Second there are ports. Ports are the house numbers of the streets. So if two devices use the same IP they still can be differentiated by using different ports. To address a specific port you write it behind the IP, in our example 192.168.178.20:80. So we use port 80.

    To come back to the beginning the router coordinates the IP addresses and the ports from your internal network via DHCP and makes sure every device is accessible and no doubles.

    There is a lot more but very briefly this is it.
