ZenithOS

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

Features in development include:

  • Fully-functional AHCI support.
  • VBE support 32-bit color VBE graphics.
  • A new GUI framework in 32-bit color.
  • Compiler optimizations for speed improvements.
  • SSE2+ instruction support in compiler and assembler.
  • Network card drivers and a networking stack.

Getting started

Every commit contains a "Zenith-latest-XXXX-XX-XX-XX-XX_XX_XX.iso" in the root of master, which is a timestamped ISO build of that commit. It might not be stable. See the "Releases" page for the latest stable release.

Contributing

This basically a read-only repository. Everything happens inside the OS, as intended by Terry. After you've installed the latest release in a VM, you can make changes to the source. Once you've made your changes, you can make copies of the relevant files and put them into a folder, along with some kind of notes as to what you've done as a DolDoc document. You can then make a RedSea ISO file out of that folder by running RedSeaISO("MyChanges.ISO", "/Home/Folder");. Mount the VM hard drive in whatever OS-specific way you have to, grab the ISO, and send it my way; a pull request attachment would work fine.

Background

In around November of 2019, I decided I wanted to continue Terry's work in a direction that would make it a viable operating system while still keeping the innovative and, frankly, divine-intellect ideas and design strategies intact.

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 which changes caused what. So I decided to scrap that and restart from scratch.
Releases of the "old" Zenith are currently archived on the mega.nz website:

Changes include:

  • 60FPS.
  • VBE graphics with variable resolutions.
  • 440Hz 'A' tuning changed to 432Hz.
  • HolyC -> CosmiC.
  • System-wide renaming for clarity
  • No weird shift-space mechanism
  • Caps Lock is reassigned as Backspace
  • Reformatted code for readability
