## What it is
A curated awesome-list of open source operating systems, kernels, and OS development resources. It collects hobby and research OS projects so people can study their code and find resources for getting started with OS development.

## Use cases
- find open source operating systems to study
- get started with OS development
- discover hobby kernel projects
- learn how operating systems are built
- find resources for writing a kernel
- compare open source OS implementations

## When to choose
- you want a curated directory of open source OS and kernel projects
- you are learning OS development and need examples and resources
- you want to study real kernel codebases

## When to avoid
- you need a production-ready operating system for deployment
- you want a tool or framework rather than a link list
- you need detailed tutorials rather than curated links

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: active
- function: documentation
- domain: operating-systems, awesome-lists, developer-tools, education
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: awesome-list, osdev, kernel-development, curated-list, operating-systems, linux
