ponyos is a lightweight, UNIX-like operating system developed as a personal hobby project by the creator of ToaruOS. It features a monolithic kernel written in C and aims for a POSIX-compliant environment with a built-from-scratch userland. ponyos includes a graphical interface, dynamic linker, shared libraries, and a package manager. It’s designed for fun, experimentation, and as a platform to learn and play with operating system internals, with surprisingly advanced features given its...

darch (Docker Arch) is a container-based Linux image building and booting system that leverages Docker for building root filesystems and bootable images. It allows users to define system images as Dockerfiles, making Linux operating system builds reproducible, modular, and easily maintainable. darch images are booted via a custom initramfs and are ideal for creating immutable systems or quickly spinning up specialized environments without traditional installation steps.
