VibeOS is a hobby operating system written from scratch in C for ARM64 (aarch64), built collaboratively with Claude Code over 64 sessions. It features a custom kernel, desktop environment, TCP/IP networking stack, and bundled applications, and runs on QEMU and real Raspberry Pi Zero 2W hardware.

Use cases

  • run a from-scratch operating system on QEMU or Raspberry Pi
  • learn how kernels, schedulers, and filesystems are implemented
  • explore a hobby OS with a GUI desktop environment
  • study an AI-assisted (vibecoded) OS development project
  • run DOOM or a web browser on a custom ARM64 OS
  • experiment with a TCP/IP stack and TLS on bare metal
  • compile C programs on-device with TCC or run MicroPython on a custom OS

When to choose

  • you want to study or tinker with a complete from-scratch ARM64 hobby OS
  • you need a runnable OS for QEMU aarch64 or Raspberry Pi Zero 2W experimentation
  • you're interested in AI-assisted systems programming as a case study
  • you want a self-contained OS with GUI, networking, and dev tools in one project

When to avoid

  • you need a production-grade, secure, or well-tested operating system
  • you require x86 or other non-ARM64 hardware support
  • you need guaranteed stability, long-term support, or a large maintainer community
  • you want an OS with rigorous security auditing or standards compliance
