BoredOS

BoredOS Logo

A modern x86_64 hobbyist operating system built from the ground up.

License: GPL v3 Platform: x86_64 Status: Active GitHub all releases

BoredOS is a x86_64 operating system featuring a custom Desktop Environment (DE), a dedicated Window Manager (BoredWM), and a FAT32 filesystem. It balances low-level kernel exploration with a surprisingly capable userspace.

Project Disclaimer & Heritage

BoredOS is the successor to BrewKernel, a project initiated in 2023.

While BrewKernel served as the foundational learning ground for this OS, it has been officially deprecated and archived. It no longer receives updates, bug fixes, or pull request reviews. BoredOS represents a complete architectural reboot, applying years of lessons learned to create a cleaner, more modular, and more capable system.
