stanix

Stanix is a 64-bit open source operating system made from scratch started in december 2024.
The entire operating system is written from scratch with its own libc kernel shell and userspace (only a third-party bootloader called “Limine” is used) stanix aim to be unix-like (not a unix clone, somes things are differents) with the required posix functions to port programs.
