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.

## đź§­ 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
