From programmer's point of view a serious OS is one of the most difficult pieces of software one can pursue to develop. The task involves an enormous amount of [low-level](low_level.md) programming, development of own tools from scratch and requires deep and detailed knowledge of all components of a computer, of established standards as well as many theoretical subjects such as [compiler](compiler.md) design.
**Which OS is the best?** Currently there seems to be almost no good operating system in existence, except perhaps for [Collapse OS](collapseod.md) and [Dusk OS](duskos.md) which may be the closest to [LRS](lrs.md) at the moment, but aren't widely used yet and don't have many programs running on them. Besides this there are quite a few relatively usable OSes, mostly [Unix](unix.md) like systems. For example [OpenBSD](openbsd.md) seems to be one of them, however it is [proprietary](proprietary.md) (yes, it contains some code without license) and too obsessed with MUH [SECURITY](security.md), and still a bit overcomplicated. [HyperbolaBSD](hyperbolabsd.md) at least tries to address the freedom issue of OpenBSD but suffers from many others. [Devuan](devuan.md) is pretty usable, [just werks](just_werks.md) and is alright in not being an absolute apeshit of consoomerist bloat. [FreeDOS](freedos.md) seemed nice too: though it's not Unix like, it is much more [KISS](kiss.md) than Unices, but it will probably only work on [x86](x86.md) systems.

An OS, as a software, consists of two main parts:
