MiniOS is a feature-rich hobby operating system written in C/C++ that aims to simulate a small-scale UNIX-like environment with graphical capabilities. It includes its own GUI, filesystem, network stack, and even a scripting language interpreter. The project was developed as an experimental platform for exploring OS concepts and creative features like process visualization and window management. Though it runs in a simulated or virtualized environment, MiniOS packs a surprising amount of functionality into a compact codebase.

Features

  • Custom GUI with window management system
  • File browser, terminal, and process viewer applications
  • Written in C/C++ with a modular architecture
  • Supports multiple user processes and scheduling
  • Built-in scripting language interpreter
  • Filesystem with read/write capabilities
