Show HN: Aurion OS, A 1.8MB OS with a browser, try it live (C/x86 ASM)

https://aurionos.vercel.app/
2•Luka12-dev•1h ago
I posted Aurion OS a few weeks ago on HN.

Since then, the OS has gone from Beta to v1.0 Release with a lot of improvements:

Blaze Browser: HTML/CSS/JS rendering with tabs and a developer console (local only, no full http/https support for now) Installer with user account setup and app selection Multi-resolution support (800x600 to 2560x1440, I plan to add 4096x2160 pixels in next versions) Unix-style luka@aurion prompt Serbian keyboard layout Python interpreter and Make build system 50+ terminal commands Window manager improvements and bug fixes

1.8MB ISO (entire OS including the browser and GUI) Supports QEMU, VirtualBox, VMware, and v86

You can try it live in the link above, or grab the ISO from GitHub: https://github.com/Luka12-dev/AurionOS

Built solo as a hobby/learning project. I'm 13. I'd love any feedback, suggestions!

Some tips for trying the demo:

Click inside the screen to interact Open the Blaze Browser from the dock to see HTML/CSS rendering Try typing "help" in the Terminal for a list of 50+ commands The Calculator, Paint, Snake, and Notepad apps are all in the dock Type "python" in terminal for the built-in Python interpreter (python for DOSMODE, for GUIMODE(default), make file and for example run python main.py)

The entire OS is 1.8MB including all apps and the web browser. Everything is written from scratch in C and x86 Assembly, no external libraries.

Happy to answer any questions about the kernel, window manager, browser engine, or anything else!
