KHAZAR

a hobby x86_64 OS wrote from scratch in C + asm.
no linux, no bsd, no forks. just grub, my kernel, and way too many late nights with intel manuals.
started this when i was 15, genuinely just to see if i could. best decision of my life fr.

 

custom vga text mode driver, ps/2 keyboard, pit timer, interactive ~# prompt — all hand written, no copypasta ngl.

features: x86_64 long mode (grub/multiboot) · gdt/idt/pic/isr-irq · bitmap pmm + kernel heap · vga text mode · interactive shell

about 2,000 lines. linux has 30 million. i understand all 2,000 of mine. and thats the point, yo king.

build

just use release iso because of the versions of tools there is some problem like GP
git clone https://github.com/Voctl/Khazar.git
cd khazar
make iso        # compile + link -> khazar.iso
make run        # build and run in QEMU
make clean      # nuke build artifacts

needs: gcc nasm ld grub-mkrescue qemu-system-x86_64 mtools & dosfstools — missing any? apt install that shi fr.

why its free

GPL-3.0, proudly. fuck closed source — proprietary software is malware, straight up. your EULA is toilet paper. if you cant read the code running on your machine, you dont own your machine. fork it, fix it, break it, make it yours. no blobs, no backdoors dressed as features. free software or perish fr.

that "no warranty" bit is doing heavy lifting. this OS will eat your hard drive if you boot it on real hardware. i did. it did. live and learn.
