pearlOS
NET
pearlOS is an awesome operating system based of the pidi-os project that was sadly discontinued, but I highly recommend you to check out the new rust-based operating system made by the same author; RezOS. But ofcourse only do that after you check out this project! pearlOS was made for me to learn operating system things and also to become better at C and Assembly.
Note
Compilation is only guaranteed on linux with GCC ISO C17, but it is also possible in Windows with virtualization solutions like WSL (on Windows 11) or hyperV.
PearlOS prides itself in it's incredibly easy installation, as it only requires 3 commands! It's very easy to install, firstly clone the repo:
git clone https://github.com/ElisStaaf/pearlOSAfter going into the repo directory, configure and then make:
./config.sh
makeYou can add your own config, just read this!
Lastly, run the generated image at dist/pearl.bin
by making the rule qemu:
make qemuThis will start up a QEMU session with the image, and you can run the OS.
To uninstall, simply run:
make cleanIf you want to see the differences between pearlOS and pidi-os, see PIDI-DIFF.md.
I accept all meaningful contibutions! As long as it doesn't break the project, I'll probably accept your contibution.
I'm a bit inconsistent on when I actually, y'know, maintain and update this, but I can assure you, even if you see a 1-month pause, THE PROJECT IS NOT DEAD. If the project dies, you can expect archival or at least a message.
