Aquila is a minimalist operating system kernel written in C++ from scratch, aiming to offer a clean and understandable implementation of low-level OS concepts. Designed for x86_64 systems, Aquila includes its own bootloader and supports protected mode operations. It features a modular architecture with components for memory management, interrupts, and basic task scheduling. As a learning tool or hobby OS project, Aquila focuses on clarity, with an emphasis on educational documentation and well-organized code.
