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. The OS is modular and composable, with everything built to feel like it belongs to the same ecosystem.
