ponyos is a lightweight, UNIX-like operating system developed as a personal hobby project by the creator of ToaruOS. It features a monolithic kernel written in C and aims for a POSIX-compliant environment with a built-from-scratch userland. ponyos includes a graphical interface, dynamic linker, shared libraries, and a package manager. It’s designed for fun, experimentation, and as a platform to learn and play with operating system internals, with surprisingly advanced features given its hobbyist origin.
