Hey there! In this book, we're going to build a small operating system from scratch, step by step.
You might get intimidated when you hear OS or kernel development, the basic functions of an OS (especially the kernel) are surprisingly simple. Even Linux, which is often cited as a huge open-source software, was only 8,413 lines in version 0.01. Today's Linux kernel is overwhelmingly large, but it started with a tiny codebase, just like your hobby project.
The alternative to Windows and macOS designed to make your computer faster, more powerful, secure, and privacy-respecting.
Zorin OS is designed to be easy, so you don't need to learn anything to get started. The Zorin Appearance app lets you change the desktop layout to feel like the environment you're familiar with, whether it's Windows, macOS, or Linux.
Simple, Immutable, Reproducible

Effortlessly deploy apps using a container — minimal know-how required.
Infinite OS is a container operating system designed to allow you to deploy applications knowing little to nothing about containers. It comes with a user-friendly dashboard, REST API, and CLI for seamless container management.
BareMetal OS is an exokernel-based operating system crafted entirely in x86-64 assembly and is designed to provide unparalleled levels of flexibility and efficiency. By exposing hardware resources directly to applications, it empowers developers to finely tune and optimize their software for specific tasks. With the exokernel's minimalist design, it minimizes the overhead imposed by traditional operating systems, enabling applications to achieve peak performance. Its x86-64 assembly implementation speaks to its commitment to squeezing every ounce of performance from the hardware, making it a compelling choice for those who demand the utmost control and efficiency from their computing environments.
The thoughtful, capable, and ethical replacement for Windows and macOS.
Graphical Unix-like operating system for x86-64 computers.
SerenityOS is a love letter to '90s user interfaces with a custom Unix-like core. It flatters with sincerity by stealing beautiful ideas from various other systems.
Roughly speaking, the goal is a marriage between the aesthetic of late-1990s productivity software and the power-user accessibility of late-2000s *nix.
An Operating System for Z80 computers, written in assembly
Zeal 8-bit OS is an operating system written entirely in Z80 assembly for Z80 computers. It has been designed around simplicity and portability. It is inspired by Linux and CP/M. It has the concept of drivers and disks while being ROM-able.
A Lean KDE Distribution.
KaOS is an independent distribution focused on Qt and KDE.
The idea behind KaOS is to create a tightly integrated rolling and transparent distribution for the modern desktop, build from scratch with a very specific focus. Focus on one DE (KDE Plasma), one toolkit (Qt), one architecture (x86_64) plus a focus on evaluating and selecting the most suitable tools and applications.
An Omakase Developer Setup for Ubuntu 24.04 by DHH.
Turn a fresh Ubuntu installation into a fully-configured, beautiful, and modern web development system by running a single command. That's the one-line pitch for Omakub. No need to write bespoke configs for every essential tool just to get started or to be up on all the latest command-line tools. Omakub is an opinionated take on what Linux can be at its best.
Yet another minimal Linux distribution, based on Arch Linux.
Archcraft is just another Linux distribution, made on top of Arch Linux. It uses window managers and lightweight applications, which makes it super fast. With pre-configured settings, Archcraft provides you the best out of the box window manager experience.
Dusk OS is a 32-bit Forth and big brother to Collapse OS. Its primary purpose is to be maximally useful during the first stage of civilizational collapse, that is, when we can't produce modern computers anymore but that there's still many modern computers around.
Bootstrap post-collapse technology.
Winter is coming and Collapse OS aims to soften the blow. It is a Forth (why Forth?) operating system and a collection of tools and documentation with a single purpose: preserve the ability to program microcontrollers through civilizational collapse.
Everyone should have control over their personal data and privacy
HexOS combines a simplified UI, automations, workflows, and managed services with user-provided hardware to offer elegant home server management for off-the-shelf server appliances, custom-built hardware, and even recycled PCs. Powered by TrueNAS, the world's most deployed enterprise-grade storage platform, HexOS provides a highly reliable and easy-to-use solution to store, use, and protect your data.
Void is a general purpose operating system, based on the monolithic Linux kernel. Its package system allows you to quickly install, update and remove software; software is provided in binary packages or can be built directly from sources with the help of the XBPS source packages collection.
The Next Generation Linux Workstation.
Bluefin is an operating system for your computer. The best of both worlds: the reliability and ease of use of a Chromebook, with the power of a GNOME desktop.
The Universal Blue project builds a diverse set of continuously delivered operating system images using Fedora Atomic Desktop's support for OCI/Docker containers.
That's nerdspeak for the ultimate Linux client: the reliability of a Chromebook, but with the flexibility and power of a traditional Linux desktop.
