onix is a minimalist educational operating system written in Rust, created to demonstrate low-level system design in a safe and modern language. It covers kernel essentials such as interrupts, memory management, and multitasking, and includes a tiny Unix-like shell for user interaction. onix is tailored for x86_64 systems and runs in QEMU, making it ideal for learning OS internals while benefiting from Rust’s type safety and concurrency guarantees. It’s a great project for students or Rustaceans interested in systems programming.
