VeloOS

VeloOS is a from-scratch x86_64 UEFI operating system that aims to look like Windows Vista while behaving like Linux. Development so far includes a custom bootloader and legacy BIOS VGA text buffer, with current work on a real USB-HID keyboard driver and getting the OS to boot on real hardware. The project is source-available and open to collaboration with other low-level OS developers.

    “I'm working on a own x86_64 UEFI Operating System (OS). The idea is to make an OS that looks like Windows Vista but behave like Linux, so it's a mix of Windows and Linux.”
