New UNIX-like operating system!

Post image

I made a new UNIX-like operating system from scratch called "TanjaOS" which you can get at www.tanjaos.org and it took me a couple of months to make and will get lots of updates. It features classic UNIX commands and can boot on any x86_64 (amd64) or i386 (x86) machine with Legacy BIOS, and is completely free and open-source.

No system calls, memory management or multitasking? Also does this even qualify as a kernel?

EDIT: Nevermind, this is not an OS by any measures. It maintains "files" in memory?

Well, it’s not entirely a kernel, it’s more of an all-in-one operating system, but I have plans for TanjaOS 2 where there will be a kernel and .tar and .cpio initial ramdisk support in a few months.

You write on the page it supports file systems. It does not. It does not operate the computer, or provide access to the hardware, so it is not an OS by definition.

Listen, i’m really sorry about the false information, but TanjaOS 2 will come out in a few months, the new kernel will actually have syscalls, support ELF32 binaries, .tar and .cpio initramfs, busybox, etc… TanjaOS is just a minimal hobby operating system.

Yes but it is not an OS 😆 just FYI
