pranaOS is a hobby operating system built from scratch in C and C++, intended to teach and demonstrate operating system fundamentals such as process control, memory management, and kernel bootstrapping. It is designed for the x86_64 architecture and features a custom shell, task scheduler, and keyboard driver. With a strong focus on education, pranaOS serves as a base for experimenting with kernel development and learning how different subsystems interact in a functioning OS.

Features

  • Kernel written in C and C++ for x86_64
  • Multitasking with a simple round-robin scheduler
  • Custom command-line shell interface
  • Keyboard driver with basic input support
  • Paging and memory allocation for kernel and userland
  • Custom-built bootloader for system initialization
