HexOS

Status: kernel builds and runs in QEMU

Goal: a simple graphical desktop

Stretch goal: explore desktop-specific OS design

Primary resources:

• Writing an OS in Rust, kernel written loosely following this guide
• OSDev Wiki for more specific documentation
• UEFI, PC boot process and UEFI with QEMU for learning about UEFI
• Rust Embedded Raspberry Pi OS as another Rust OS reference

Building

Requires the rust-src component and the x86_64-unknown-none (nightly) target from rustup, along with qemu-system-x86_64. Then just cargo run!
