  Hey so I lead this project module and just wanted to share it on HN :-)
  Please check out the GitHub link, and give it a star if you like what you see! (https://github.com/ne-foss-org/ne_kernel)
  P.S.: I'm the author and implemented the system as a whole! We're also open to contributors, come as you are!

Re:Canvas_ity: A tiny, single-header <canvas>-like 2D rasterizer for C++ on Saturday February 21, 2026 @03:30PM (#47104391)
Yes, it's a canvas library, there's a lot of risks of including AI generated code that hasn't been checked in a rasterizing library.

NeKernel is a microkernel project written in modern C++. I just shipped a new release, v0.1.21, with improved APIs and a new WiP language frontend in Nectar's repository. The following link points to the NeKernel software distribution and its development branch, please give it a star here: https://github.com/nekernel-org/src

Yes I can edit it, It went through the right category now, thanks a lot for the help!

Hi, thanks for the input, is it allowed to upload this again as a Show HN?

Show HN: HeFS and MBCI, two specs from my custom Kernel

Posted by Amlal on Wednesday May 07, 2025 @06:53AM
from the show-hn dept.

Here are the PDFs of both documents: https://nekernel.org/hefs.pdf https://nekernel.org/mbci.pdf https://github.com/nekernel-org/nekernel I encourage people to build or contribute to this! I think it's worth the effort. Btw I'm open to work in the U.S (currently based in France), if you're interested, email me!

Show HN: NeKernel 0.0.2e1

Posted by Amlal on Tuesday May 06, 2025 @02:07AM
from the show-hn dept.

https://nekernel.org/

After releasing 0.0.2, I’ve pushed a focused enhancement patch (0.0.2e1) to address scheduler and FS structure issues. The kernel has been updated to 0.0.2e1, including but not limited to: - A redesigned HeFS, with upgraded data structures and lookup algorithms. - Improved scheduler code (allocation tracking enhancements). - New stability improvements and fixes beyond 0.0.2. -...

Show HN: Early work on a new filesystem for NeKernel

Posted by Amlal on Friday May 02, 2025 @05:48AM
from the show-hn dept.

Just wanted to update on this — it’s a filesystem using a red-black tree for directory indexing and CRC32 checksums for consistency. Feel free to browse the source: https://github.com/nekernel-org/nekernel/blob/dev/dev/kernel/src/FS/HeFS.cc https://github.com/nekernel-org/nekernel/blob/dev/dev/kernel/FSKit/HeFS.h ...

Show HN: NeKernel's AHCI driver and WiP filesystem

Posted by Amlal on Sunday April 27, 2025 @02:46PM
from the show-hn dept.

https://github.com/nekernel-org/nekernel

Hi HN,I've built a custom generic AHCI driver that is now successfully performing I/O operations (read/write) to SATA drives, and I'm also working on a new custom filesystem (HeFS) for the kernel.The code is available on GitHub under the GPLv3 license. Feedback and suggestions are welcome!Repo: https://github.com/nekernel-org/nekernel

Show HN: NeKernel – With a WIP AHCI driver and a modular storage stack

https://github.com/amlel-el-mahrouss/nekernel

Check out the `dev` branch, which is for ongoing development. The master branch is for stable releases. NeKernel also has sister projects, which are pinned in my GitHub. They follow the same system as nekernel, `dev` for the latest commits, and some level of CI too via GitHub actions. You are welcome to contribute on GitHub!

Hi, I've got open-source project(s) focused on low-level C/C++ mostly around kernels, toolchains and boot infrastructure.

Show HN: NeKernel – Modular C++ Kernel with early BootNet support

Posted by Amlal on Friday March 28, 2025 @12:43AM
from the show-hn dept.

https://github.com/amlel-el-mahrouss/nekernel

Just pushed a new commit to NeKernel, a modular C++ kernel built from scratch.This update introduces BootNet, a WIP network boot fallback module. If the kernel fails to load, BootNet is designed to recover by booting from a packet. EEPROM update support is planned, but not yet implemented.Repo: https://github.com/amlel-el-mahrouss/nekernel Docs:...

Re:The earliest versions of the first C compiler known to exist on Monday March 24, 2025 @12:42PM (#43462947)
Ah, yes, was that because of a lack of inline assembly? I feel like these could be replaced by 'nop' operations.
Re:Recommendation for non-DOS/Unix open source OS outside x86/X64 on Monday March 24, 2025 @01:55AM (#43458045)
I'm surprised that nobody has talked about HaikuOS, I used to daily drive for a while before returning to Linux or OS X, depending on what I do.
