TempleOS troubles. AHHH IT'S SO LOUD.

Trying to install Temple OS on an old unused laptop. I've added it to the grub menu by using memdisk and using the Temple OS ISO from the official Temple OS site. On opening in grub, it loads this white text (pictured), makes a *really* loud beep sound, then does nothing. None of the keyboard buttons do anything.

After a bit of googling, it does the exact same thing but minus the loud beep. Here is the current grub menu entry:

menuentry "TempleOS" {
  linux16 /boot/memdisk iso
  initrd16 /home/user1234/isos/TempleOS.ISO
}

The laptop is running an intel i5 and boots in legacy Bios with secure boot off. There is no SATA port on the outside, but there is a disk drive so maybe I could try that? Random stuff: In bios settings, SATA has two options, ACHI or disabled. Trying to boot directly from usb boot drive failed many many times as it never showed up in boot options menu.

Does anyone know what the dealio is, or will it just not work? The laptop has a disk drive I could try?

Edit: I can't grammar

My small prototype device (which consists entirely of an ESP32-c3 - occasionally sending short ESP_NOW messages, and small ToF sensor - a vl53l0x) is powered by a 3.7V LiPo battery. I am wondering if this is safe with just the ESP's built in charging circuit + regulator?

Could operating the device on low battery damage it or the battery?

And might I need some kind of battery protector board thingy?

Do I need to account for occasional ESP_NOW usage?

Thanks!

Edit:

Also, while I'm here, does anyone know a good way to mount my device in a cardboard box or something, It's gonna have wires coming out of all sides so just in case anyone has a life hack of some description.

Edit 2:

Something something capacitors??? I only have some 100uf caps, but I'm seeing 10uf and 0.1uf caps on this subreddit. Is it super necessary? Another edit: To clarify, I mean to smooth battery power delivery I think.

Update:

Dear future people, here is what we've figured out so far:

Yes. You need a battery management board otherwise it could kill the battery.

Just out of interest, maybe for a future fun coding project, what would it take to make some form of programming language with reasonable functionality, maybe the possibility for libraries - but not something actually useful.

I don't want to make anything remotely worth using for any serious project, I would just like to know the general workings of maybe compiling it to C or python, or interpreting it.

Should the compiler/interpreter be written in something lower level like C, or is python fine for something like this?

Is memory allocation important or could i just let python figure that out for me?

How would all this apply when making something more abstract, like the BF language or a language where you have to write in musical notation or something?

Is this the right subreddit for this post?

Thanks!

EDIT:

Dear future people, here is some of what we've figured out so far.

Read this (Free web version) ---> https://craftinginterpreters.com/

Try making a lisp language to start as it is really easy apparently

Use LLVM if you want, it's like a compiler/parser maker thingymajigy

Be good at regex I guess ---> https://regex101.com/

Google 'ArnoldC' RIGHT NOW

Nvm there's too much great info here to summarize so just read the comments :)
