🚀 NovaOS v0.1-alpha – First Experimental Release

Hello everyone! I'm excited to share the first bootable version of NovaOS with you. This is a 16-bit hobby operating system built as an educational project, inspired by MikeOS.

✨ Features in this release

  • Command-Line Interface (CLI): Includes commands like DIR, CAT, COPY, DEL, HELP, and SYSINFO
  • BASIC Interpreter: Write and run BASIC programs directly within the OS
  • File Management: Supports FAT12 filesystem (like old floppy disks)
  • Simple Text Editor (NovaPad): Create and edit text files
  • Basic Graphical Launcher: A simple UI to access programs

⚠️ Important Notes

  • This is an alpha release – expect bugs and instability.
  • Please run it only in emulators (like QEMU or VirtualBox). Do not test on real hardware yet.
  • Some features may not work as expected.

🔧 How to Run

  1. Download the novaos.iso file from the Releases section.
  2. Run it in an emulator: 
    qemu-system-x86_64 -cdrom NovaOS.iso

Explore the CLI, try BASIC programs, and test the built-in tools.
