⚠️ Dragon Warning
ProtOS is currently in its embryonic stage. Expect broken code, sudden rewrites, and occasional tears. Not suitable for production (or sanity).
⚡ Fast & Fresh
Modern hardware deserves modern software - no legacy baggage allowed
🧩 Modular by Design
Just snap components together, all in one system configuration file.
🔭 Future-First
Why walk when you can teleport? No legacy baggage, robust GRUB-powered foundation

QEMU testing requires OVMF firmware. We don't ship it for the same reason dragons don't share gold: Lawyers. Get yours from EDK2 orsudo pacman -S edk2-ovmfthen copyOVMF_CODE.fdto firmware folder. No hoard, no boot!
| Task | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| boot.asm | ✅ 90% | Assembler yoga |
| Basic makefile | ✅ 100% | Builds without fire |
| grub.cfg | ✅ 100% | Bootloader ready |
| MB2 tags header | 🚧 40% | Multiboot mysteries |
| IDT & GDT | ✅ 85% | CPU gatekeeping |
| Graphics/text mode drivers | 🚧 87% | Pixel uwusability |
| Keyboard interwupts | 🚧 60% | Keypress archaeology |
| Time drivers | 🚧 70% | Chronomancy |
| bschell | 🚧 30% | Terminal therapy |
| Branding | ✅ 100% | No longer disgusting |
(Yeah, i think 85% is fine for idt/gdt and exception handler.) For real hardware: (Keyboard working only on some laptops or through PS2 port!)
At that time i will restructurize, rewrite and optimize all my code, an in this version i will write full documentation. For now all this is just a black box because i am too lazy for making changelogs every update understanding
- Phase 1: Make computer go beep (hardware communication)
- Phase 2: Pretend we're UNIX (basic shell operations)
- Phase 3: ??? (profit)
