skiftOS

skiftOS is a hobby OS built from scratch using C/C++ for ARM, x86, and RISC-V. It's simple, modern and modular. It has a modern C++ core library, reactive UI, and a capability-based microkernel for security and modularity.

Features:

While skiftOS is still in early development, it already has the basics in place: a graphical shell, a set of core apps, and a microkernel foundation to experiment with. It’s rough around the edges, but it’s a fun playground for exploring how an operating system comes together.

• Beautiful: skiftOS ships a reactive UI framework (inspired by SwiftUI/Flutter) with consistent typography, spacing, and theming across apps.
• Wide Range of Apps: Core apps cover the basics: files, text, media, images, terminal, and a few toys. They’re small, fast to build, and good examples for new contributors.
• It's not a *NIX: skiftOS isn’t POSIX. It’s a fresh API and userland inspired by Plan 9, Haiku, and Fuchsia. Familiar ideas, different contracts.
