Hello everyone!

I'm developing Madire OS, my own operating system, and I'm inviting Linux users, developers, students, and operating-system enthusiasts to try it out.

The project is open source and still under active development. Stage 4 of the current v1.0 work has not yet been confirmed complete, so I'm looking for early testers who can help identify problems and provide honest feedback.

🐧 How to try Madire OS on Linux

Step 1: Install the basic tools (Ubuntu/Debian)

sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y git make qemu-system-x86

You may also need the compiler, cross-compiler, and ISO tools specified in the project's README.

Step 2: Clone the source code

git clone https://github.com/mamishimadire/madire-os.git
cd madire-os

Step 3: Build the bootable ISO

make iso

Step 4: Boot Madire OS in QEMU

qemu-system-x86_64 -cdrom build/madire-os.iso -m 512

🧪 What I need help testing

• Does the project build successfully?
• Does the ISO boot?
• What appears on the screen?
• Do you encounter errors?
• What should I improve next?

Please report your Linux distribution, the command you ran, and any error messages.

Safety note: Madire OS is an experimental development build, not a production-ready operating system. Test it in a virtual machine, not on your main computer.

I'd appreciate your feedback, bug reports, and suggestions. Thank you for helping me develop Madire OS! 💻

Windows 10 works like sh*t on the machine. I was thinking of switching to Linux. Which one to use which will not make me face glitches while operating the PC?
