    k23

    k23

    Experimental WASM Microkernel Operating System

    k23 is a microkernel-based operating system project written in Zig, an emerging systems programming language focused on safety, simplicity, and performance. k23 explores the design of modern OS features like message-passing, memory protection, and modular service construction using Zig’s powerful low-level capabilities. It is an experimental and educational project intended to show how Zig can be used for robust, readable systems programming while enabling contributors to rethink traditional OS structures from the ground up.

    Genode

    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.

    Hermit Kernel

    Hermit Kernel

    A Rust-based, lightweight unikernel

    Hermit Kernel is the core component of HermitCore, a Rust-based unikernel that runs directly on hypervisors or bare-metal systems to support high-performance cloud and HPC applications. This repository contains the microkernel’s implementation, optimized for running Rust applications natively in a lightweight, single-address-space environment. Hermit Kernel is designed to reduce latency and overhead by avoiding traditional OS abstractions, while still providing essential services such as...

    HelenOS

    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

    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

    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.

    Resea

    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.
