• Single-Command Installation: install xorix - Complete automated installation
• Multi-Architecture Support: x86 (32-bit), x86_64 (64-bit), ARM Cortex-A8
• Modern Keyboard Driver: Full scancode support, modifiers, function keys, layouts
• User Management: User accounts, passwords, admin mode, privilege escalation
• GRUB2 Bootloader: BIOS and UEFI support with multiple boot options

• xbash Shell: Unix-like commands, scripting, command history, environment variables
• xnano Editor: Lightweight nano-like text editor for configuration files
• Filesystem: Simple but robust filesystem with permissions and ownership
• Installation System: Automated partitioning, formatting, and system setup

• x86: 32-bit Intel/AMD processors
• x86_64: 64-bit processors with long mode support
• ARM: Cortex-A8 and compatible ARM processors

• RAM: 512MB minimum
• Storage: 512MB for installation
• Architecture: x86 (32-bit) - Fully supported
• Firmware: BIOS or UEFI

• Linux host system for building (Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, CentOS, Arch, openSUSE supported)
• i686-elf cross-compilation toolchain (automatically installed by dependency script)
• Build tools: gcc, make, grub-mkrescue, xorriso (automatically installed)

Note: Use the included install-dependencies.sh script to automatically install all required dependencies for your Linux distribution.

# Run the automatic dependency installer (recommended)
./install-dependencies.sh

# Or install dependencies manually
sudo apt install build-essential grub-pc-bin grub-common xorriso

# Set up development environment
make dev-setup

# Build x86 kernel and ISO
make iso

# Or build just the kernel
make

• x86 (32-bit): ✅ Production Ready
  • Complete implementation with all features
  • Real installation system with disk partitioning
  • 45+ functional commands
  • GRUB bootloader integration
  • Reboot functionality with boot mode detection
  • Simplified build system for easy development

# Build kernel binary
make

# Build bootable ISO
make iso

# Test in QEMU
make test

QEMU is a fast and flexible emulator supporting multiple architectures.

• VirtualBox / VMware
  You can use the generated ISO (xorix.iso) as a boot disk in most virtualization software such as VirtualBox or VMware. Just create a new VM and select the ISO as the boot medium.

• Real Hardware
  Burn the ISO to a USB drive using tools like Rufus or Etcher, then boot from the USB on compatible x86 hardware. Make sure your motherboard supports legacy BIOS or UEFI boot modes.
