AvocadOS

About

AvocadOS is a minimalist hobbyist kernel for the i386 architecture, crafted to explore the fundamentals of operating system development. It offers a simple, educational platform for enthusiasts to experiment with process management, memory handling, and basic hardware interactions.

Features

• Basic Kernel Functionality: Implements core OS components such as process scheduling and memory management.
• i386 Architecture Support: Designed specifically for 32-bit x86 systems.
• Lightweight Design: Minimal codebase for ease of understanding and modification.
• Educational Focus: Ideal for learning low-level programming and OS concepts.
