[SUGGESTION] Docs - We need 'em

[byteduck]

Suggestion

duckOS as a whole needs more documentation about how the kernel works, libraries, utilities, etc. I'm intimately familiar with how the whole thing works, but in order to make it easier on new contributors, it's probably a good idea for me to write some docs.

Yes please

@byteduck apart from the docs, I think it would be nice to have more info/warn being printed from the OS. Had some issues with loading PNGs and had to manually added those inside the loading logic to find out what's the problem (wrong format)

Agreed - a lot of that code was written very early on (before C++ was even used in userspace), so it doesn't make use of the logging utilities. I have been meaning to overhaul that stuff anyway, though.

Anyway, as a whole, sorry progress has been so slow on this! I'm busy with school of course, and usually when I have time to work on duckOS I use it as an opportunity to write some code just for fun (because after all, who likes writing documentation)? It will get taken care of at some point, though.

Just a quick update - I've added some new documentation on code style and common patterns in the docs folder. Generalized documentation on the workings of various components will come soon!
