A step-by-step tutorial teaching how to build an operating system from scratch in C and assembly, from writing a boot sector up to basic kernel features. It consists of short, code-heavy lessons with minimal theory, aimed at programmers curious about how OSes work.

Use cases

  • learn how to write an OS from scratch
  • build a boot sector in assembly
  • write a simple kernel in C
  • understand how operating systems boot
  • hands-on operating systems tutorial
  • learn low-level x86 programming

When to choose

  • you want short, practical, code-first lessons on OS development
  • you prefer minimal theory and quick exercises
  • you want to start from a boot sector rather than reading an existing kernel

When to avoid

  • you need a modern, authoritative OS design resource - the project is explicitly abandoned with known technical and design issues
  • you want deep theoretical coverage of OS concepts
  • you need production-quality OS code
