...Rather than replicating traditional monolithic kernels exactly, it emphasizes modularity, safety, and simplicity by incorporating well-structured subsystems for memory management, scheduling, and device abstraction that are easy for contributors to understand and extend. The kernel uses Rust as its primary implementation language, which gives it strong memory safety guarantees and helps reduce common classes of bugs like data races and buffer overflows without sacrificing performance. It aims to serve as both a learning tool for systems programming students and a testbed for advanced research in kernel architecture, enabling experimentation with new ideas in process isolation, resource management, and driver models.

MikeOS is a an open source 16-bit operating system for x86 PCs, written in assembly language, which boots from a floppy disk or CD-ROM. It is designed as a learning tool for x86 assembler and basic OS design.
