DragonOS is a 64-bit operating system with a fully independent kernel written from scratch in Rust, offering Linux binary compatibility. It targets lightweight cloud computing and serverless scenarios, with support for eBPF, virtualization, and emerging container support.
Use cases
- run Linux binaries on a Rust-written kernel
- lightweight kernel for serverless cloud workloads
- experiment with eBPF on a non-Linux kernel
- research operating system development in Rust
- test containerized workloads on an alternative kernel
- try a cloud-native OS in a browser playground
When to choose
- you need a memory-safe, Rust-based kernel for cloud or serverless experimentation
- you want Linux binary compatibility without running Linux itself
- you are researching OS kernel design or contributing to a from-scratch kernel
When to avoid
- you need full Linux compatibility for production today (only ~1/4 of Linux interfaces implemented)
- you require mature driver, hardware, or ecosystem support
- you need a general-purpose desktop OS
