Welcome to Aether

Aether is an experimental hobby operating system with a Zig capability multikernel and Rust user-space services. Start with the README for its current scope and kernel build instructions.

The first release aims for sys-init booting to interactive serial Zsh, persistent OpenZFS, a runner and native package management. That assembled system is still unfinished. Bounded demos and host checks establish only their recorded scope.

  • Architecture explains ownership, authority and component boundaries.
  • Contributing explains how to report bugs and propose work. PRs are currently owner-only.
  • Issues hold live work and dependencies.
  • Discussions welcome questions, research ideas and experiments.
  • Security reporting gives the private vulnerability route.

This wiki is a map, not a backlog or a duplicate technical specification. Versioned source documents hold contracts and evidence; use Issues for work status.
