FajrOS: A minimal, educational operating system project, exploring the dawn of OS development inspired by simplicity and curiosity.

FajrOS (فجر)

"Fajr" (فجر), an Arabic word meaning dawn, aptly symbolizes the fresh start and the first light of understanding in the world of operating system development

Welcome to FajrOS, an educational operating system project. FajrOS is primarily a personal learning and exploration tool in the domain of OS development.

Project Overview

FajrOS is a basic, educational operating system built from the ground up. It serves as an ideal starting point for those interested in delving into the intricacies of how operating systems work at a fundamental level.

Inspiration and Resources

This project is inspired by and draws knowledge from two main sources:

• "Writing a Simple Operating System — from Scratch" by Nick Blundell, a comprehensive guide on the basics of building an operating system from scratch.
• The Lost Streams project by Blau Araujo, documented on blauaraujo.com. This resource offers practical insights and examples in OS development.

Goals

The goal of FajrOS is straightforward – to build a minimal but functional operating system, serving as a practical tool for my own learning and curiosity in system programming and low-level software architecture.

Getting Started

To begin exploring FajrOS:

1. Clone the repository to your local environment.
2. Follow the building instructions in the documentation to compile and run FajrOS on your machine.

License

FajrOS is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0, promoting open and collaborative development while ensuring freedom of use and modification.
