The Zenith Operating System is a modernized, professional fork of the 64-bit Temple Operating System.

Features in development include:

  • Fully-functional AHCI support.
  • Compiler optimizations for speed improvements.
  • VBE support, VESA graphics.
  • Network card drivers, network stack.

Every commit contains a "MyDistro.iso" in the /src/Tmp folder, which is an ISO build of that commit.

At first, I was developing exclusively inside a VM and occasionally generating ISOs as official releases. This was not a good approach, as things broke and I had no way of telling what changes caused what. So I decided to scrap that and restart from scratch.
Previous releases are currently archived on the mega.nz website:
