Temple OS is quite unique and specific distribution written in Holy C.

It works best in VMs because it was built for quite old hardware and most modern hardware is not compatible with it.

Nothing screams more gigachad than playing RTS or ToTheFront in Temple OS :P

Ring-0 only, blazing fast, the command line feeds into a C compiler.
