OS project started september 2024
BaileyOS is an Open Source, multi-platform operating system. It provides a simple, platform-independent OS for creating windows, contexts and surfaces, reading input, handling events, etc.
BaileyOS natively supports Linux, macOS and Windows and other Unix-like systems. On Linux both Wayland and X11 are supported through Qemu.
BaileyOS is licensed under the (ENTER LICENSE) license.
You can download the latest development or stable release as source.
The documentation is available online and is included in all source archives. See the release notes for new features, caveats and deprecations in the latest release. For more details see the version history.
The master branch is the stable integration branch and should always compile and run on all supported platforms, although details of newly added features may change until they have been included in a release. New features and many bug fixes live in other branches until they are stable enough to merge.
(BaileyOS exists because of the contributions of many people around the world, whether by reporting bugs, providing community support, adding features, reviewing or testing code, debugging, proofreading docs, suggesting features or fixing bugs.)
BaileyOS is written primarily in Assembly/C. BaileyOS itself requires only the cross-compiled GCC and binutils compiling tool.
BaileyOS supports compilation on Windows with Visual C++ 2013 and later, MinGW and MinGW-w64, on macOS with Clang and on Linux and other Unix-like systems with GCC and Clang. It will likely compile in other environments as well, but this is not regularly tested.
See the compilation guide for more information about how to compile BaileyOS yourself.
See the documentation for tutorials, guides and the API reference.
See the contribution guide for more information.
BaileyOS supports nearly any modern system though it is recommended to run through Qemu.
See the compatibility guide in the documentation for more information.
BaileyOS itself needs the folowing headers and libraries for your OS and window system.
nasm for compiling assembly
i686-elf (Binutils + GCC) for cross compiling C
qemu-desktop for emulation
xxd for binary disassembly
