Redox
Redox is an operating system written in Rust
Redox is a Unix-like Operating System written in Rust, aiming to bring the innovations of Rust to a modern microkernel and full set of applications. Redox is a general purpose operating system written in pure Rust. Our aim is to provide a fully functioning Unix-like microkernel, that is both secure and free. We have modest compatibility with POSIX, allowing Redox to run many programs without porting. We take inspiration from Plan9, Minix, Linux, and BSD. -

Genode
Genode OS Framework
Genode is a capability-based, component-oriented operating system framework focused on building secure, modular, and flexible operating systems. Unlike monolithic or microkernel-only designs, Genode allows developers to construct OSes from fine-grained components that communicate through well-defined interfaces. It supports multiple kernels including NOVA, seL4, and Fiasco.OC, and has been used to build everything from microhypervisors to full desktops. Genode places strong emphasis on security, fault isolation, and formal verifiability, making it ideal for critical systems and research environments. -

HelenOS
A microkernel-based multiserver operating system written from scratch.
HelenOS is a portable microkernel-based multiserver operating system written from scratch. It decomposes key operating system functionality such as file systems, networking, device drivers and graphical user interface into a collection of fine-grained user space components that interact with each other via message passing. A failure or crash of one component does not directly harm others. -

Xyris
The Xyris Kernel
Xyris is a microkernel-based operating system developed with a focus on modularity, simplicity, and modern code practices. Written in C++, Xyris separates drivers and system services into isolated components using message passing, in line with microkernel philosophy. It’s designed as a research and hobbyist OS, with a clean codebase and early implementations of multitasking, system calls, and filesystem abstractions. -

XNU
Legacy mirror of Darwin Kernel
Darwin XNU is the hybrid kernel that powers Apple’s macOS, iOS, watchOS, and tvOS operating systems, forming the foundation of the Darwin open-source core. The name XNU stands for X is Not Unix, highlighting its origin as a combination of multiple kernel technologies—primarily the Mach microkernel from Carnegie Mellon University, integrated with substantial components from FreeBSD and Apple’s proprietary IOKit driver framework. This hybrid architecture merges the microkernel model’s message-passing flexibility with the monolithic performance and direct hardware control typical of Unix-like systems. XNU handles essential kernel responsibilities such as memory management, multitasking, interprocess communication (IPC), device I/O, system calls, security enforcement, and scheduling across both single and multi-core architectures. -

mkstring
mkstring is a small microkernel
Mkstring is a small microkernel, actually this is a fork of my old one muistring project. Since I forget access and having new plans to do it, the decision was to create a fork of it to contunie development. Currently is has - amd64 support (with SMP) - light memory manager - preemptible multitasking - threads and memory proxy to support memory mapping service from the microkernel services - a lot of other stuff I hope somebody will join to have a fun with it. -
