Looking for systems programmers who want to build an OS from scratch.
X OS is an x86_64 microkernel built from scratch. No POSIX, no Unix ABI. The kernel only handles scheduling, memory, and IPC. Everything else — display server, filesystem, shell — runs in ring 3 via message passing.
Currently boots in QEMU with GPU compositor, NVMe block device, XFS filesystem, and PS/2 input.
Needs help with: terminal, shell, drivers, networking, UI design, and applications.

Good Idea can be used with AI agents as their OS would definately be terminal first rather than having a UI.
