MentOS is an educational operating system developed for academic use, particularly in university settings, to help students understand low-level system concepts such as process management, memory handling, and scheduling. Written in C, MentOS closely mimics a simplified Unix-like OS and includes hands-on implementations of key kernel features. Designed to be highly readable and modular, it offers a practical approach to learning systems programming through real-world kernel components, making it a valuable tool for operating system courses and personal exploration.

Features

  • Unix-like kernel with modular architecture
  • Written in C with a focus on code clarity
  • Process creation, scheduling, and context switching
  • Simple memory management with paging support
  • System call interface for user programs
  • Basic shell and terminal interaction
