Operating Systems

Operating systems run your computer! There are lots of innovative OSprojects but only a few are really used. A few more than those have someinteresting ideas. Expanded Main Page - OSDevWiki has tons of resourceson building an operating system.

DawnOS
An operating system built on the subleqhigher level language architecture. See thevideo for a detailedoverview!

• Redshirt
• Redox :: is a Rustoperating system with a microkernel-based design.
• Urbit :: A 'universal function'.
• MetalOS :: A hobby projectwritten by a single person.
• InterimOS :: Written to accompanymntmn's custom hardware.
• CirnOS :: An operating systemthat transforms a Raspberry Pi into an Arduino. effectively.
• Demikernel :: interestingapproach to architecture
• CrysaLisp :: A next-generationLisp machine.
• TempleOS (racist)
• CollapseOS :: An OS written entirely in theForth programming language.
• Fuschia :: Google's up-and-coming unified desktop and mobile operatingsystem. Presumably similar to Linux-SE (Android).https://blog.quarkslab.com/playing-around-with-the-fuchsia-operating-system.html
• Gentoo :: An operating system that prides itself on buildingeverything from source.

• Qubes OS :: An operating systemthat isolates every application and device on the computer, grantingpermission to each only when necessary. Many journalists and securityprofessionals rely on this.
• WhoNix :: An operating system designed tocompletely sandbox your activity inside of a virtual machine.

• Plan9 :: Defer to Devine's notes on thesubject.

  • Plan9 resources: http://www.9gridchan.org/
  • Plan 9 System Calls
  • plan9 tools for unix operating systems
• Junos OS
• Spectrum :: An OS modeled after Qubes, butmaking full use of the Nix reproducible build system, and dedicated tosupporting mainstream x86-64 hardware.
• SmartOS :: combines opensolaris tech with linux kvm virtualization.has zfs. contributed to illumos project

LineageOS
The most popular alternative Android operating system, built off ofCyanogenMod. https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/starlte/installhttps://www.reddit.com/r/degoogle/comments/gu2kk9/lineageos_vs_e_vs_alternatives/

e
An operating system designed to function efficiently on older,refurbished devices. Built on LineageOS.

NixOS Mobile
A full port of NixOS to a mobile platform. It's built on top of manyprevious efforts and relies on a tool to convert GTK applications tomobile equivalents.

Hobby

I got my Gameboy emulator running in my OS! :osdev.This is so inspirational. I love it. I would love to play this game boygame on this operating system. It sounds so fun and satisfying to havemade and to use a stack like this!
