Eventually, It'd be amazing to use Moss as my daily driver OS. That means targeting the specific hardware that I have, but in doing so, I hope to build up enough of the abstractions to allow easier porting of hardware.

A more concrete mid-term goal is for it to be 'self-hosting'. By that I mean you could edit the code, download dependencies and compile the kernel from within Moss.

Are you interested in beating Linux performance-wise? Eg:

- Moving away from the too-small 4kb default page size (while having a good strategy for dealing with fragmentation)?

- Make it easy to minimize/track interrupts on a core, for low-latency contexts
