eduOS-rs is a teaching operating system written in Rust, developed by RWTH Aachen University to support courses on systems programming and operating systems. It serves as a practical and educational tool that demonstrates key OS concepts like memory management, multitasking, privilege separation, and system call handling in a safe and modern language. Designed to run on x86_64 hardware using QEMU, eduOS-rs leverages Rust’s ownership model and type safety to reduce bugs common in low-level systems development. It is a valuable resource for students and instructors alike, providing clear, structured examples of kernel development.

Fiwix is a Unix-like operating system kernel designed for educational purposes and hobbyist development, targeting the i386 architecture. It implements many classic UNIX principles and aims to provide a clean, well-documented codebase that is both readable and easy to study. Fiwix offers a functional kernel that supports ELF binaries, a virtual file system, and standard system calls, making it a great platform for learning OS internals or experimenting with system-level programming. Its...

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. Xyris serves as a foundation for further exploration into reliable OS...

emerald is a minimalistic Unix-like operating system kernel developed for x86_64 systems, focused on being lightweight, modular, and understandable. Written in C and assembly, emerald serves as a learning tool for OS enthusiasts who want to explore kernel design from scratch. It includes basic components such as multitasking, paging, interrupts, and system calls, while maintaining a clear and concise codebase. Emerald is a strong starting point for building more complex systems or...

Draco is an independently developed GNU/Linux distribution for i486 compatible computers, with focus on simplicity and flexibility. Draco has an distinct separation between the base system and third-party (provided by pkgsrc), the advantage of this approach is that the base system will work without third-party; And third-party applications are completely isolated from the base system, unable to break your system.
