FlingOS

FlingOS is an educational operating system and framework aimed at teaching students and developers how operating systems work, using C# and a bit of C++ and assembly. It allows developers to build kernels in a managed, high-level language and understand the entire bootstrapping and runtime process from scratch. FlingOS is particularly focused on making OS development more accessible by bridging the gap between high-level languages and low-level hardware programming.

Features

Written primarily in C# for accessible OS development
Custom compiler and toolchain support for kernel building
Detailed documentation and tutorials for learners
Bootloader and kernel written from scratch
Hardware abstraction for keyboard, screen, and timers
x86 architecture support with QEMU and VirtualBox testing
Preemptive multitasking and scheduling mechanisms
Basic FAT file system integration
