A minimalist x86 kernel written in C and assembly that boots via GRUB and prints a message to the screen. It serves as an educational example accompanying a 'Let's write a Kernel' tutorial.
Use cases
- learn how to write a simple operating system kernel
- understand multiboot kernel booting with GRUB
- test a toy kernel in QEMU
- starting point for hobby OS development
- teach low-level x86 boot process
When to choose
- you want a minimal, readable example of a bootable x86 kernel
- you are following a tutorial on writing your first kernel
- you need a multiboot-compliant skeleton to build a hobby OS from
When to avoid
- you need a production or general-purpose operating system
- you want drivers, memory management, or scheduling features
- you need a kernel for non-x86 architectures
