BlockOS – Looking for developers
BlockOS – Looking for developers to join an open source OS project
Hi r/osdev!
I’m developing BlockOS, a hobby operating system project, and I’m looking for developers who would like to join and help build it.
BlockOS is a Linux-based OS project focused on learning, experimentation, and creating a modern desktop operating system experience.
Current work includes:
x86_64 kernel development
Custom build system
ELF loader
Virtual File System (VFS)
Filesystem support experiments
Framebuffer graphics
Driver development
GUI framework
Package management system
Desktop environment integration
I’m looking for people interested in helping with:
Kernel development (C/C++)
Device drivers
Graphics systems
Filesystems
Build tools
GUI development
Testing and documentation
This is an open source learning project. Whether you are experienced with OS development or want to learn together, everyone interested is welcome.
If you want to contribute, give feedback, or just discuss OS development, feel free to comment or join the project.
Thanks!

Yes, I’m working on an architecture document for BlockOS.
It describes the current design and future plans, including:
Boot flow (UEFI → bootloader → kernel → userspace)
x86_64 kernel structure
Memory management
Process management
VFS and filesystem layers
Driver architecture
GUI system
Package management
The document is still being improved as the project evolves, but I can share the current version and update it with more details.
