    Obscura

    It's a personal microkernel project designed as a learning ground.

    Obscura is a personal microkernel project designed as a learning ground for low-level operating systems. Its initial aim is to lay the foundations for a minimalist kernel, then gradually evolve towards a modular, stable and simple operating system. ## 🧭 Objectives - Learn and master : - Low-level C language - x86/x86_64 assembler - Modern processor architecture - Fundamental principles of operating systems - Develop a microkernel : - Lightweight and modular - Able to handle hardware interrupts (keyboard, timer) - Support minimal user space - Evolve to a simple OS: - With a rudimentary shell - Isolated user processes - A basis for experimenting with system concepts ## ⚙️ Project status > 🚧 Project under development - Learning phase (year 1) Short-term planned features : - [ ] Multiboot-compatible GRUB bootloader - [ ] Text mode display (VGA) - [ ] Interrupt management (IRQ / keyboard) - [ ] First task manager loop

    Ancient Linux on Windows

    Building and running ancient Linux on Windows

    While I may have started with Linux 0.11, I've expanded this to include several older relases of the Linux kernel that you can cross compile from Windows, and run on Qemu. I've managed to get the older versions of the software tools running on Windows, so that there is no major invasive source changes, outside of either broken drivers, or massaging the makefiles to find things in the new paths, and calling the appropriate tools where needed. Linux 0.10 is the first oldest version of...

    Kerla

    Kerla

    A new operating system kernel with Linux binary compatibility

    Kerla is an experimental operating system kernel written in Rust with a Linux-compatible syscall interface. It aims to run Linux binaries in user space without relying on a traditional Linux kernel. Kerla combines the safety guarantees of Rust with a familiar POSIX-like programming model, making it a unique exploration into safe systems programming. Though early in development, it supports basic userspace execution and is a promising proof-of-concept for running Linux userland programs in a fully Rust-based kernel.
