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?

Of course why not use FreeRTOS... like my Speed Queen clothes washer (and that is no kidding, weird as it might sound, and no my clothes washer is not "smart" nor networked, its just how they did the front panel.). I mean, if its good enough for my dishwasher, its good enough for my dev board, right?
The idea of flashing my clothes washer with an alternative OS, perhaps TempleOS, is strangely intriguing.
