LimonOS new OS no Unix no Linux

Wrote everything myself from scratch in pure C without any Linux or pre-built distros. It's a custom monolithic architecture with the Limine bootloader, custom drivers, window manager, and terminal. As for models and agents: I used LLM agents as co-authors for routine tasks, writing tests, and debugging low-level code. I tuned them to strictly generate code without the standard library (libc) and to create host-side unit tests to verify modules before packing them into the kernel. https://github.com/AnonimusShamshiAlex/LimonOS

I'm creating my own OS, check it out, LimonOs no Unix no Linux

So, I've created my own OS called LimonOS. It is currently in the early stages of development. Its uniqueness lies in the fact that it is neither Linux nor Unix—in short, the kernel is unique and 98% written in C. Yes, I used an AI assistant for help because I had a headache and encountered many errors and problems since I was working on it and thinking through it alone. Development has been ongoing for 4 days. Here is the link to the OS itself—we recently added a browser and internet connection: https://github.com/AnonimusShamshiAlex/LimonOS The code and the entire OS system are there. There is a catch: if you are on Windows, you need to click on the batch file, and everything will compile using WSL Linux and Limine for implementation. Everything is on GitHub, including all instructions, and it will probably be easiest for you to check i

t out in a virtual machine. I'm writing this because I want your opinion and advice on how to improve this OS system so that it works and becomes as stable as other operating systems like Linux. It's cool to build my own OS like Terry Davis, and I hope I don't become a maniac. Here are some screenshots of the interface: Thank you everyone. I recently added AI to the terminal, which you can connect to via the command: aikey <your openrouter.ai API key here> then you can use it with the command ai: ai hi my name Jucy here are the screenshots of the interface in github https://github.com/AnonimusShamshiAlex/LimonOS
