Blockos hobby operating system

BlockOS - A hobby operating system built from scratch

Hi everyone! I am developing my own hobby OS called BlockOS.

Current features and goals:

  • Custom kernel (C++)
  • VFS filesystem layer
  • ELF64 loader
  • ext4 support (in development)
  • VirtIO driver support
  • Custom GUI/compositor (Kuroko)
  • Linux-like filesystem structure
  • Custom system services and device interfaces
  • QEMU testing environment

The goal of BlockOS is to create a modern operating system with a clean architecture, a graphical desktop environment, and support for modern applications.

I am sharing my progress and looking for feedback from the OSDev community.

Any advice, suggestions, or ideas are welcome!

For an OS group, we sure do have a lot of posts about pretty UIs

This is just an observation. I just think UIs are much less of the OS than say scheduling, a kernel, or disk subsystem.

Am I wrong?

I always wanted to integrate harfbuzz to get good shaping, now I succeded and here is the result with Open Sans Font, I also had to build an entire libc compatibility layer for it to link with my window manager :)
