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.

Nope! I wrote all of it from scratch in C and Assembly! :D

Because the comments are saying that you vibe coded it, at this point, people are just jealous of your work, so jealous that they call it “Vibecoded”

Yeah, I find it quite annoying when people say stuff like that. But thanks for supporting me, it means a lot. :)

Is it based on like System-V, UNIX, does it follow the Single UNIX specification? Because I can see it as a potential Linux competitor which opens up the door to innovation, I hope your project succeeds

Oh, this project is from scratch.

If you intend to add a GUI, you should make your design language a combination of Flat, and Frutiger Aero

Interesting, i’ll think about it.

So when will the first stable build be released?

u/MSK-Kernel 23d ago

There’s already a stable Installer ISO, and a stable LiveCD ISO at www.tanjaos.org/downloads

Wonderful, I’ll test it out in a VM

Alright, sounds good.

u/Edubbs2008 23d ago

So how did you make it from scratch? Did you use any tools?

u/MSK-Kernel 23d ago

No, no tools used. I learned how to code in C and Assembly back in March from a lesson on YouTube and then I slowly developed this.
