BoksOS

BoksOS (working title) is an experimental project to develop an operating system that aims to include the following features:

Built-in suspend and resume for applications across restarts.
Be able to update the system without rebooting.
Written in Zig.
Ease of installation and maintence of applications with a "one-file" per application design.

Take advantage of Zig's ability to not compile in unused functions.
Applications are easily copyable from one OS instance to another.

An easy to use, intuitve graphical interface.
Kernel optimized for many core CPUs.
Native 64-bit kernel.

This list is tentative and probably will change as BoksOS develops, but as of now, these features are the goals.

Check out the demo and Q&A I did for Handmade Seattle Conference!

I stream live coding of this project on my Twitch. Come watch!

Neither the source code, nor binaries are released yet. As of now, there is no plan to release anything until this project is at a certain point of quality.

I made a blog post about the "Fake Bitcoin Miner" application here.
