It is designed to be +modular, maintainable and compatible with existing software. It implements a brand new XT architecture and features own +native application interface. On the backend, it contains a powerful driver model between device drivers and the kernel, +that enables kernel level components to be upgraded without a need to recompile all drivers. + +## XT Architecture +ExectOS is a preemptive, reentrant multitasking operating system that implements the XT architecture which derives from +NT architecture. It is modular, and consists of two main layers: microkernel and user modes. Its' kernel mode has full +access to the hardware and system resources and runs code in a protected memory area. It consists of executive services, +which is itself made up on many modules that do specific tasks, a kernel and drivers. Unlike the NT, system does not +feature a separate Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) between the physical hardware and the rest of the OS. Instead, XT +architecture integrates a hardware specific code with the kernel. The user mode is made up of subsystems and it has been +designed to run applications written for many different types of operating systems. This allows us to implement any +environment subsystem to support applications that are strictly written to the corresponding standard (eg. DOS, or POSIX). +Thanks to that ExectOS will allow to run existing software, including Win32 applications. + +## Features + * Completely free, Open Source and community-driven modern Operating System. + * Native multiple architecture support. It runs on x86 and x86_64 and is portable to other architectures. + * Uses a couple of ideas from other open source projects, but it’s our own ideas that really sets us apart and defines + ExectOS. The majority of code is original, not forked. + * Modular design for better compatibility with existing software. + * Own, XT drivers for commonly used devices as well as NT drivers compatibility layer for better hardware support. + +## Why + * We believe, there is no ideal Operating System on the market. During ExectOS development, we try to bring most useful + features known from existing solutions, while keeping compatibility with NT architecture at desired level. + * Some of our ideas differ greatly from other projects and it is much easier if we do not have to fight legacy code and + ideas. + * We need the freedom to break things when necessary. + +## Goals + * Keep the greatest advantages of the NT architecture, while implementing new features and technologies known from other + Operating Systems. + * Flexibility where it makes sense to provide flexibility. + * Be able to deliver features that other non-commercial Operating Systems consider too ambitious. + +## Requirements +ExectOS is in very early development stage, thus its requirements have been not specified yet. However according to its +design, it requires a modern EFI enabled hardware.

What is the origin of this name? +The name 'ExectOS' doesn’t have a specific historical origin, as it appears to be a unique creation for this +Operating System. The term 'Exec' within ExectOS directly relates to execution - the act of carrying out tasks, +processes, and instructions. In the context of operating system, execution involves managing programs, resources, +and system operations. Users should associate ExectOS with streamlined performance and reliability. + +#### What does the ExectOS logo present and what is the relation between the logo and the OS name? +The three wavy lines in the ExectOS logo evoke a sense of fluidity and movement. Their arrangement, forms a shape +reminiscent of the capital letter ‘E,’ directly corresponding to the initial letter of ExectOS. The flowing waves +symbolize dynamism, progress, and forward motion. The smooth curves suggest a seamless user experience, while gradient +colors represent diversity and adaptability. All of this convey a message of innovation, user-friendliness, and +adaptability. It invites users to explore a new operating system that promises a seamless computing experience. + +#### What architectures does ExectOS support? +ExectOS supports the x86_64 (sometimes called AMD64 or EM64T), as well as i686 CPU architectures. However, it requires +a modern EFI enabled hardware, thus it is not possible currently to boot ExectOS on a legacy BIOS. + +#### Is ExectOS a Windows replacement? +No. ExectOS is a brand new, modern system designed to run applications written for many different types of Operating +Systems. This allows to implement any environment subsystem to support applications that are strictly written to the +corresponding standard (eg. DOS, or POSIX). This means that running Windows applications might be as well possible at +some time. However development is mostly focused on providing system core at the moment. + +#### Is ExectOS another Unix based OS? +No. ExectOS implements the XT architecture which derives from NT architecture. It is modular, and consists of two main +layers: microkernel and user mode. Its' kernel mode has full access to the hardware and system resources and runs code +in a protected memory area. It consists of executive services, which is itself made up on many modules that do specific +tasks, a kernel and drivers. Unlike the NT, system does not feature a separate Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) between +the physical hardware and the rest of the OS. Instead, XT architecture integrates a hardware specific code with the +kernel. + +#### Does ExectOS allow to use Windows drivers? +This is one of our goals. Thanks to the NT drivers compatibility layer provided by ExectOS, you should be able to install +and use the same drivers as you can on Windows. + +#### Can I install ExectOS on a pendrive / USB stick? +Yes. This is how it is tested on a bare metal (real hardware). + +#### Program X does not work when I launch it. When can I except things to change? +It depends. ExectOS is in early development stage and it is not recommended for everyday usage. At this point we cannot +guarantee anything. + +#### When will feature X get added? +If you think an idea has merit, you may choose to discuss it on [Discord Server](https://discord.com/invite/zBzJ5qMGX7). +However, the best way to get a feature added to ExectOS is to implement it yourself. + +#### When will the project be finished? +Writing an Operating System is a complex task that requires time. Other popular Operating Systems, such as Linux, are +also constantly being developed to meet the everyday users requirements. + +#### Where can I obtain the source code? +ExectOS source code can be obtained from GIT repository available [here](https://git.codingworkshop.eu.org/xt-sys/exectos). +It can be also found on [GitHub](https://github.com/xt-sys/exectos) and [GitLab](https://gitlab.com/xt-sys/exectos) mirrors. + +#### Where can I download ExectOS? +Each ExectOS build, including binaries, disk image, libraries and debug symbols are available [here](https://artifacts.codingworkshop.eu.org/ExectOS/). + +#### How can I contribute to ExectOS? +We are looking for C and Assembler developers for core OS development as well as testers. If you are willing to help, +please join our [Discord server](https://discord.com/invite/zBzJ5qMGX7) and contact one of ExectOS developers. + +#### Why don't you use GCC? +Because GCC is a crap. + +#### Do you have any kind of tests to check if the code is working as expected? +We don't need tests. If it compiles, it is good enough; if it boots up, then it is perfect. + +#### Why don't you help Wine? +Wine implements Win32Api only, while ExectOS is a featureful Operating System, that implements a compatibility layer with NT. +This means, ExectOS will be able to run NT drivers as well, not only Windows software. However, thanks to its modular design, +it will be possible to implement Win32 subsystem as well at some point, based on Wine. + +#### Why don't you help ReactOS? +ExectOS goals are very different from ReactOS, and contrast the project's core philosophy as being quite on different paths. +While ReactOS aims to replicate Windows NT, ExectOS is a completely new Operating System implementing the XT architecture +which derives from NT. Although both projects share the goal of being NT compatible, they intend to achieve it in different +ways. What ReactOS tries to replicate, ExectOS only implements as a compatibility layer. Thanks to that, ExectOS does not +need to strictly follow NT architecture and is capable of providing modern features. + +#### Do you intend to cooperate with ReactOS to achieve common goals? +No. We share Wine's opinion on the inappropriate reverse-engineering methods used in the ReactOS project, as well as its +association with the TinyKrnl project, which used every possible method of achieving the end result of having a 100% +compatible results. This especially applies to the so-called ‘dirty’ way. + +#### Which license does ExectOS use? +ExectOS is licensed under the GNU General Public License v3. diff --git a/themes/exectos/config.yaml b/themes/exectos/config.yaml new file mode 100644 index 0000000..c34ab2a --- /dev/null +++ b/themes/exectos/config.yaml @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +module: + hugoVersion: + min: "0.84.0" diff --git a/themes/exectos/layouts/_default/baseof.html b/themes/exectos/layouts/_default/baseof.html new file mode 100644 index 0000000..c348b7e --- /dev/null +++ b/themes/exectos/layouts/_default/baseof.html @@ -0,0 +1,13 @@ + + + {{- partial "head.html" . -}} + + {{- partial "header.html" . -}} +
