Obscura

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

Short-term planned features :
- [ ] Multiboot-compatible GRUB bootloader
- [ ] Text mode display (VGA)
- [ ] Interrupt management (IRQ / keyboard)
- [ ] First task manager loop
