I appreciate that this is a hobby project, but comments like this one in Kernel.cs:

     while (true) //Set CPU in Infinite loop DON'T REMOVE THIS ELSE I'll KILL YOU (^ . ^)

combined with things like your "How to contribute" section requiring that anyone wanting to contribute is "dedicated", are frankly going to put anyone off wanting to get involved with this. It also doesn't reflect well on your maturity as a developer.

I'm all for humorous comments, even if they're a bit flippant, but that comment just isn't funny. Though I've met some great people with a sense of humor that makes absolute no sense to me and that's just how it came off to me versus a maturity issue (but without my experience I could easily see having an identical opinion to yours).

The dedicated part though seems a little more ridiculous to me. Most people who may contributed may not necessary be "dedicated" or even like the project but just may want to help with someone. If I saw a project was looking for dedicated contributors I'd be less likely to contribute anything as I don't want to be married to someone else's project.

The "YOU" here might refer to the compiler, not the person looking at the code.
