Brutal is a modern, experimental operating system that blends Unix principles with retro aesthetics and a unique design philosophy. Written from scratch in C and assembly, Brutal aims to offer a clean and consistent experience both at the system level and user interface level, featuring its own GUI, kernel, and userland tools. It’s inspired by classic systems like Plan 9 and early UNIX variants but reimagined with a focus on simplicity, beauty, and cohesive tooling.

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 architectures.
