I've heard that Smalltalk is also an OS. How can I install Smalltalk on my X86 instead of Linux or windows?

I've heard that Smalltalk is also an OS. How can I install Smalltalk on my
X86 instead of Linux or windows?

That must be of great fun to install Smalltalk on a bare-metal machine,
isn't it?

What are the steps to do that? Any tutorials?

Indeed. However, hardware used to be a lot simpler than it is are nowadays. If a modern laptop didn't have all kinds of hardware, many of which requires proprietary drivers, this would still be feasible. That being said ...

What are the steps to do that? Any tutorials?

... there is a project that does target bare PC hardware, called "Squeak No Operating System". People have worked on it on and off, you should google for "SqueakNOS".

Here are some old blog posts: squeaknos.blogspot.com

There is a SqueakNOS mailing list, not active for a long time but there appear to still be archives:

http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/squeaknos

There is SqueakNOS info on the Squeak wiki:
