What it does

Raspberry Pi OS is a step-by-step guide that teaches how to create a simple operating system from scratch. The OS source code is largely based on Linux kernel, but it has very limited functionality and supports only Raspberry PI 3. The main goal is not only to teach OS development, but also to use the project as a starting point to learn Linux.

    I made my own OS from scratch because I was bored2025 · jotalea.com.ar · ▲224

    I've wanted to make my own OS since I started programming. Now, 5 years later, I did it (kind of). Sure, it is really basic, has very little functionality, but I made it and I'm proud of that. Oh, and I'm just 16 btw.
