Interim OS is a minimalist experimental operating system with a language-based kernel inspired by Lisp machines and Plan 9. It boots to a JIT-compiling Lisp REPL (Sledge) and exposes system resources as filesystems, running bare-metal on Raspberry Pi 2 and hosted on Linux, macOS, Windows, and Amiga OS.

Use cases

  • experiment with a lisp machine style operating system
  • boot a custom OS bare metal on a raspberry pi
  • explore everything-is-a-file system design
  • run a jit lisp repl as a shell and editor
  • study minimal operating system kernel design
  • try an os where the shell is the editor is the compiler

When to choose

  • you want a hands-on research OS blending Lisp and Plan 9 concepts
  • you need a bare-metal playground for Raspberry Pi 2
  • you prefer keyboard-driven, minimalist computing environments

When to avoid

  • you need a production operating system with drivers and software ecosystem
  • you require GPU, networking, or mouse support
  • you want a maintained project with active releases
