Terry A. Davis, creator of TempleOS, dead at the age of 48


For those of you who don’t know, Terry Davis was a schizophrenic man who developed his own operating system called TempleOS. If you would like to learn more about it and him, Motherboard published a very fair and informative article about him in 2014. Terry was a victim of his illness, but still managed to accomplish something that many developers can only dream of, and that’s something I think is worth celebrating.

This thread is also meant to discuss Terry, TempleOS, and the culture that followed him throughout the years. If this thread is unnecessary, let me know.

TempleOS is, while a meme, an actually really cool OS, at least for the curious.

Sad to see him go.
