Tisix

Tisix is an operating system written in C++17 (I try not to overuse it though).

Features

• Tiny microkernel (~2k LoC).
• Rich and modern C++ freestanding library.
• Portable codebase (In the architecture way).
• Permissive license.

Why C++?

C was becoming limiting in terms of metaprogramming and namespaces. In this repo, I try not to overuse C++ features such as templates and stuff that make code totally unreadable

MiCrOkErNelS aRe SlOw

1. "Slow" is relative.
2. A hobby operating system doesn't really need to be the fastest OS in the world.
3. Microkernels > *, btw

Current issues with the codebase

• No SMP
• The scheduling algorithm could be greatly improved, its time_slice thing seems broken.
• The servers's build system could also be improved.

Architectures

I plan on porting tisix to multiple architectures for the fun of it but, right now, I am focusing on x86_64 as I know it better so it's easier to debug and faster to develop.

Current goals

• Better syscall API.
• Lots of syscalls.
• Fix current issues with the codebase (scroll up).
• Simple framebuffer server.

Documentation

Soon I guess
