Hello HN!
Showing off the first version of Munal OS, an experimental operating system I have been writing in Rust on and off for the past few years.
https://github.com/Askannz/munal-os
It's an unikernel design that is compiled as a single EFI binary and does not use virtual address spaces for process isolation. Instead, applications are compiled to WASM and run inside of an embedded WASM engine.
Other features:
* Fully graphical interface in HD resolution with mouse and keyboard support
* Desktop shell with window manager and contextual radial menus
* PCI and VirtIO drivers
* Ethernet and TCP stack
* Customizable UI toolkit providing various widgets, responsive layouts and flexible text rendering
* Embedded selection of applications including:
* A web browser supporting DNS, HTTPS and very basic HTML
* A text editor
* A Python terminal
