Is anyone here interested in contributing to this OS?
A developer is seeking contributors for a new, clean-slate x86_64 microkernel operating system called X OS. The project aims to eliminate legacy Unix and POSIX baggage to create a system optimized for modern AI-driven workflows and live code modification.
Why it matters
It represents an experimental approach to OS architecture that prioritizes developer-user transparency and real-time system modification.
A clean-slate x86_64 microkernel operating system built from scratch. No POSIX baggage, no legacy Unix assumptions. The kernel stays minimal: scheduling, memory management, IPC ports, and hardware abstraction. Everything else (display server, filesystem, shell) lives in ring-3 userspace and communicates over message passing.
The text is a technical pitch for an open-source project, presented from the developer's perspective.
