Time and time again, a new post pops up on the ComputerCraft forums or Discord either announcing an OS, or asking for help with an OS, or releasing an OS. Usually, there are some very obvious flaws in these "OS"es, ranging from poor design choices, to overstating what they are and underdelivering. There are many common misunderstandings and undersights that newbie developers run into when writing an operating system, and these end up creating mediocre products at best.
