Creator here!
Yes, the OS is highly opinionated, as just making another linux is incredibly boring for me!
The 32-bit only constraint is mainly due to my focus on smaller architectures, especially microcontrollers.
x86_64 and aarch64 both have much more complex initialiastion schemes, and also use much more complex page table setups.
Thus, i wanted to keep that out of the system, considering i'm targeting systems with a tiny fraction of the 4 GiB memory limit.
The co-op multitasking is a part of the OS, and the OS doesn't give you preemptive multitasking. I never said i won't implement sanity safeguards! Just killing off a hanging process that doesnt yield for more than 1-5 secs is totally i scope and increases user friendlyness. but considering the system reboots in 1.2 s on target hw right now, the user will maybe just have hit reset by then :D
