Looking for systems programmers who want to build an OS from scratch.

X OS is an x86_64 microkernel built from scratch. No POSIX, no Unix ABI. The kernel only handles scheduling, memory, and IPC. Everything else — display server, filesystem, shell — runs in ring 3 via message passing.

Currently boots in QEMU with GPU compositor, NVMe block device, XFS filesystem, and PS/2 input.

Needs help with: terminal, shell, drivers, networking, UI design, and applications.

Sounds like QNX -- I remember running this from floppies as the first protected-mode OS that could run on my 386

Good Idea can be used with AI agents as their OS would definately be terminal first rather than having a UI.

I personally look at the license and say no. If the license does not respect my contributions and just farms my input then why bother?

What is this, the "lean methodology" for OSS? Every other repo of that user is a placeholder with an ellaborated README but zero code.

This is awesome! Do you have an end-goal in mind?
