SYS/A

A hobbyist operating system by me and for me.

Current State

Don't bother. It barely runs and then does not do anything useful either.

Goals

Lightweight OS with GUI.

Targets

  • 32bit x86 because of some old hardware I'd like to keep
  • somewhat POSIX compliant
  • Fast boot times

Restrictions

No spoon. Also no fork.

Minimum System Requirements

Your (virtual) hardware needs these specs:

  • 6x86 compatible CPU
  • 16MB of RAM

How to build

Requirements

Since the switch to C, you will need these tools:

  • QEMU
  • NASM
  • GCC
  • Make

For Windows, you will need WSL aswell.

Instructions

Install the tools in WSL or your favourite flavour of Unix and then

  • make
  • make run

How to contribute

At the moment, please no.

There's better projects for that like Haiku, ReactOS, or Serenity.

FAQ

Nobody has asked any questions.

Legalese

DO NOT USE IT.

DO NOT USE IT ON REAL HARDWARE.

JUST DON'T.
