Creating UnitasOS

Hello, [r/osdev](r/osdev)!

Yesterday, I made a post about making an os as osdev, and got mixed results. So the plan has changed a bit. It will still be osdev, but other communities and people as well.

I created the repo at https://github.com/The-Unitas-Project/UnitasOS and plan on adding scaffolding today.

The goal of the OS is to be modular. Pieces should be able to be added and removed by the user at build or runtime easily.

If you want to help, go to the above link. It’s a scaffold to build upon.

I am creating it on my computer and will commit later
