Welcome to LimonOS Wiki

Welcome to the official documentation and technical hub for LimonOS — a custom, monolithic 64-bit operating system kernel developed from scratch primarily in C.

🍋 About LimonOS

LimonOS is an independent hobby operating system designed to explore low-level systems programming, custom kernel design, graphical interface rendering, and network integration.

Core Highlights

Custom Kernel: Built from the ground up (not Linux, not Unix-derived).
Bootloader Integration: Uses Limine for x86_64 boot and handoff.
Built-in Graphics & UI: Framebuffer-based desktop environment with basic windowing and interactive terminal.
Networking Stack: Integrated TCP/IP capabilities with HTTP/TLS support and custom CLI clients.
AI Terminal Integration: Built-in command line interface powered by OpenRouter API (aikey / ai).
