Terry Davis, the schizophrenic individual who was tasked by God to create the TempleOS operating system (and spent over 12 years single handedly doing so) was killed by a train in Oregon (link: https://www.resetera.com/threads/templeos-creator-terry-davis-dies-during-his-great-western-adventure.65752/ )
Details remain sketchy and the death has been largely unnoticed other than by his followers and family. Some speculation is that it was suicide.

Have any Soylentils ever installed and played with TempleOS?

That's relatively straightforward stuff and all the documentation should be available (as long as you're ok with a very limited selection of network hardware, at least.)
And as long as you're using it with other systems, it doesn't even need networking, strictly speaking. Does it support RS-232? A console connection to a workstation is all you would really need.

notice that he didn't add network because it set a max number of lines for the templeOS, if adding something new, he would need to remove something first... network would require lot of lines, so he refuse to add it
also notice that he used ubuntu as his OS for everything, the templeOS was running inside a VM
