SlayerOSLightweight x86_64 Operating System

A minimalist, efficient OS designed for modern hardware

Minimalist Kernel Architecture

Built from the ground up with a focus on simplicity, efficiency, and modern design principles. The kernel provides only what's necessary for a solid foundation.

Modular Driver Framework

Extensible driver system makes hardware support straightforward. Add support for new devices without modifying the core kernel.

Custom LibC Implementation

Includes a lightweight, freestanding C library optimized for kernel development, with essential string, memory, and math functions.

Memory Management

Advanced virtual memory system with paging, frame allocation, and heap management designed for reliability and performance.

Modern Bootloader Integration

Seamless integration with the Limine bootloader provides support for both BIOS and UEFI systems with minimal configuration.

Developer-Friendly

Comprehensive documentation, clean code structure, and straightforward build system make SlayerOS an excellent platform for OS development learning and experimentation.

Quick Start

bash

# Clone the repository with submodules
git clone --recursive https://github.com/slayer-os/SlayerOS.git
cd SlayerOS

# Build the kernel and ISO
make

# Run in QEMU
make run

Project Status

SlayerOS is currently in active development. The core kernel components are functional, including memory management, basic driver support, and bootloader integration. We're working toward a more complete system with process scheduling, filesystem support, and expanded hardware compatibility.
