The AneoEngine Operating System
===================================================================================================== Blogs and entropic values can be found here: The Daily Entry You should also see The AneoC Programming Language AneoEngine is a free, open-source, x86, kernel based, single-address mapped, multi-task, multi-cored, no internet operating system. Rust, and Java is 100% not included or welcomed in my source code. Especially not languages that require a VM to be compiled.) AneoEngine is heavily inspired by DOS, specificaly FreeDOS. I was inspired by some of it's windowing systems for file managment. AneoEngine is written in AneoC, which is an improved version of C that I made just for OS-Dev. It can also be used to write POSIX software. It is much more lightweight than GCC or any other mainstream compiler, it is a self contained compiler, freestanding development is the primary target, the compiler can target hosted and freestanding software, it has domain-specific knowledge, It removes unnecessary historical baggage, the language and toolchain are built in to AneoC, and the syntax is a bit more simple. Nothing even makes sense anymore! Why have Java, Rust, and Python, when you have C? Java is the worst piece of software humanity has ever created. And why Rust? All Rust can do other than automatic memory allocation (also known as lazyness), is more work for your hands and more lines for your source files (same thing applies for Java). AneoEngine is obviously not trying to compete with modern operating systems. In fact, Linux (specificly Debian) is objectively better than all operating systems. The idea of inplementing modern OS features, like a web browser, file browser, or even a GUI, AneoEngine will be console-only. The goal of AneoEngine is to remain small, understandable, and completely hackable (AneoEngine is meant to be crashed and tweaked.). Right now it boots from BIOS, enters protected mode, draws directly to VGA memory, handles keyboard input, runs a simple window manager, controls hardware like the PIT timer, and executes entirely without another operating system underneath it. Modern operating systems are built around networking, security layers, permissions, background services, and abstraction. AneoEngine instead focuses on exposing the machine itself. Every part of the system is visible, modifiable, and simple enough to understand from boot sector to kernel. It is less about replacing Linux and more about exploring how a computer works at the lowest practical level while building a personal operating system from scratch. There is a huge problem in today's world! Search up 'kid made operating system' on Google. The reponses speak for themselves. Seems like the internet can't understand what the actual definition of an 'operating system' is. Lets take 'AaronOS' for example. A cloud based OS is NOT an OS. An OS is defined with a bootable system that runs on bare metal. If you haven't written x86 Assembly or a C kernel, thats not an OS. Using AI also doesn't count, it only proves how lazy you are. Some idiotic Redditors think there are certain thresholds that operating systems need to meet to 'qualify' as an operating system. An OS's REAL definition is the foundational system software that manages a device's hardware and software resources. It acts as a vital bridge between the physical components. However SOME people just don't get the gig. After 1.2 years of operating system development, AneoEngine currently sits with about 25,729 lines of hand-crafted code. I spend almost all of my free time programming AneoEngine. I almost quit 3 times but I never gave up. Ive been programming ever since I was younger, and this will be my longest lasting project. ===================================================================================================== Downloading AneoEngine Installing AneoEngine How to install AneoEngine properly. ===================================================================================================== Photos Demo Videos The AneoC Programming Language Downloads F.A.Q.
