Australis OS is an experimental operating system being developed from the ground up, with its own kernel, drivers and desktop ambitions.
Meet Australis OS
What would it take to build an operating system from scratch? Australis OS is Aurora Softwares’ exploration of that question.
Rather than customising an existing desktop operating system, this project works on the underlying pieces: booting, the kernel, storage, drivers, graphics and user applications.
A project with room to grow
Australis is a work in progress, not a finished replacement for your everyday operating system. The focus is on building a strong foundation while exploring what a friendly, modern desktop might eventually look like.
- Start at the foundations: learn about the kernel, drivers and file systems.
- Follow the interface work: explore the graphics and desktop experience.
- See the progress: find code and development milestones in the project repository.
