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. -

Obscura
It's a personal microkernel project designed as a learning ground.
Obscura is a personal microkernel project designed as a learning ground for low-level operating systems. Its initial aim is to lay the foundations for a minimalist kernel, then gradually evolve towards a modular, stable and simple operating system. ## 🧭 Objectives - Learn and master : - Low-level C language - x86/x86_64 assembler - Modern processor architecture - Fundamental principles of operating systems - Develop a microkernel : - Lightweight and modular - Able to handle hardware interrupts (keyboard, timer) - Support minimal user space - Evolve to a simple OS: - With a rudimentary shell - Isolated user processes - A basis for experimenting with system concepts ## ⚙️ Project status > 🚧 Project under development - Learning phase (year 1) Short-term planned features : - [ ] Multiboot-compatible GRUB bootloader - [ ] Text mode display (VGA) - [ ] Interrupt management (IRQ / keyboard) - [ ] First task manager loop -

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. -

Resea
A microkernel-based hackable operating system
resea is a small, message-passing-based operating system kernel designed with microkernel principles in mind. Written in C with minimal dependencies, it emphasizes modularity, isolation, and simplicity. resea includes a basic POSIX-like interface and supports multitasking, IPC, and user-space services. It serves as both a microkernel OS experiment and a platform for learning about low-level system design without the complexity of larger operating systems. -
