Open Source Rust Operating System Kernels

CachyOS - Arch Linux Based Distribution With Heavy Optimizations & Multi-Architectures For Ultimate Desktop Experience Filesystems: - btrfs - zfs - ext4 - xfs - f2fs Our installer will auto detect which micro architecture your machine got, if x86-64-v3 or x86-64-v4 is detected it will automatically use the optimized packages, which is around a 10 % performance improvement. Desktop Environments: - KDE - CuteFish - i3 - Gnome - Openbox - Wayfire - Xfce - LXQT - bspwm All packages are compiled with Full LTO and other optimization flags. Depending on the march your cpu have it is compiled against x86-64, x86-64-v3 or x86-64-v4. For the Desktop Environment we provide basic theming. In CachyOS-Hello can be also security related packages enabled, like: DNScrypt-proxy Firejail apparmor Security and Performance! https://discord.gg/qJqj94uFwE https://t.me/+zCzPX4cAFjk1MTY

Redox is a Unix-like Operating System written in Rust, aiming to bring the innovations of Rust to a modern microkernel and full set of applications. Redox is a general purpose operating system written in pure Rust. Our aim is to provide a fully functioning Unix-like microkernel, that is both secure and free. We have modest compatibility with POSIX, allowing Redox to run many programs without porting. We take inspiration from Plan9, Minix, Linux, and BSD. Redox aims to synthesize years of research and hard won experience into a system that feels modern and familiar. Redox is an attempt to make a complete, fully-functioning, general-purpose operating system with a focus on safety, freedom, reliability, correctness, and pragmatism. We want to be able to use it, without obstructions, as an alternative to Linux on our computers. It should be able to run most Linux programs with only minimal modifications. We're aiming towards a complete, safe Rust ecosystem.

The kernel is the part of the operating system that facilitates interactions between hardware and software components. On most systems, it is loaded on startup after the bootloader and handles I/O requests as well as peripherals like keyboards, monitors, network adapters, and speakers. The Linux kernel is the open-source, monolithic, and, Unix-like operating system kernel that is used in the Linux distributions, various embedded systems such as routers, and as well as in all Android-based systems. Linus Torvalds conceived and created the Linux kernel in 1991 and it's still being developed by thousands of developers today. It's a prominent example of free and open-source software and it's used in other free software projects, notably the GNU operating system. Although the Linux-based operating systems dominate most of computing, it still carries some design flaws which were quite a bit of debate in the early days of Linux.

"Software is best, which imposes no restrictions" A full Creative Commons 0 licensed operating system (or rather a completely free operating system to do what you will with it) written in Rust, built for an AMD64 environment. We will not support x86 architectures. The future looks promising, once we get a full AMD64 environment stable, we will also work on an ARM64 environment and a quantum computer environment. Our goal is an in place replacement to our current everyday systems (The creators use Linux daily, and support Windows and MacOS systems at work) that doesn't have all of the bloated crapware that is invading all operating systems nowadays (just look at systemd). We will build our complete environment in Rust. All of our base apps will be in Rust, and we will build a Gnu toolchain replacement so if you would like 'x' open source software to be installed on the system it can. As such this will be a fully Integrated System Environment.

Moss Kernel is an open-source operating system kernel project designed to explore modern OS design and provide a foundation for experimental system research and development. Rather than replicating traditional monolithic kernels exactly, it emphasizes modularity, safety, and simplicity by incorporating well-structured subsystems for memory management, scheduling, and device abstraction that are easy for contributors to understand and extend. The kernel uses Rust as its primary implementation language, which gives it strong memory safety guarantees and helps reduce common classes of bugs like data races and buffer overflows without sacrificing performance. It aims to serve as both a learning tool for systems programming students and a testbed for advanced research in kernel architecture, enabling experimentation with new ideas in process isolation, resource management, and driver models.
