Vinix

Vinix is an experimental Unix-like operating system written in V, a statically typed compiled programming language known for its simplicity and performance. The project aims to create a minimalistic and efficient OS that adheres to Unix principles while leveraging the modern features of the V language. Vinix serves as both a proof of concept for system programming in V and a platform for exploring OS design concepts.

Features

Unix-like architecture supporting familiar commands and file structures
Written entirely in V to showcase the language's capabilities in system-level programming
Monolithic kernel design for simplicity and performance
Basic process management including task scheduling and execution
File system support with essential operations for file manipulation
Terminal interface for user interaction and command execution
Memory management system implementing allocation and deallocation strategies
Device driver framework for hardware interaction and peripheral support
Bootable image creation enabling deployment on virtual machines or hardware
