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.

...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.

...It features a monolithic kernel that supports basic multitasking, memory management, and user programs. Built from the ground up with Rust’s strong safety guarantees, felix aims to strike a balance between low-level hardware access and modern software practices. It runs on x86_64 platforms via QEMU and includes a basic shell and ELF binary loader, making it an excellent resource for learning OS fundamentals.
