Aero is an experimental, UNIX-like operating system written in Rust with a monolithic kernel design inspired by Linux. It supports modern PC features such as long mode, 4/5-level paging, SMP multicore, and a UEFI bootloader.
Use cases
- study how a monolithic kernel is implemented in Rust
- experiment with a non-Linux UNIX-like OS in QEMU
- learn about 5-level paging and SMP kernel scheduling
- contribute to an open-source hobby operating system
- test Linux-source-compatible program porting on a new kernel
When to choose
- you want a Rust-written kernel codebase to learn OS development from
- you need an experimental OS targeting modern 64-bit CPU features
- you want to contribute to an active hobby OS project
When to avoid
- you need a production-ready or stable daily-driver operating system
- you require full Linux compatibility or a mature driver ecosystem
- you cannot build on a Linux host or WSL 2
