A hobbyist operating system written in Assembly. It targets the x86 architecture.

To compile, there are a few dependencies that are required to compile / run:

• NASM
• GNU cat (or any variant of cat)
• QEmu (to run in an emulator, not really required)

Once dependencies are installed, you can run make abos. If you would like to test abos as well as compile it, run make.

As of early July, abos does not support VESA. Soon (hopefully in less than a month) VESA will be implemented. This will allow it to run on real hardware, since no modern hardware today actually comes with a VGA driver, rather, "a VESA driver".

If you want to get the most stable version of AbOS, you can check the releases tab. Each release contains:

• Floppy version (for a live version of the OS, as well as a portable version of it)

Disclaimer: The current version of ABOS writes to the hard disk instead of floppy. This will be changed in the future.

To be honest, I really like Greek characters. It does not have any real effect on the OS.
