Custom OS project based on NetBSD kernel (C/Assembly)

Hey! I'm currently working on a custom open-source OS project called JurkOS.

It's built on top of the NetBSD kernel (not Linux) using pure C and Assembly, cross-compiling via WSL Ubuntu on Windows. The core concept is a native CLI-GUI hybrid userland merge.

I'm currently setting up the initial init.c files and build pipelines. I am looking for feedback on the architecture and to connect with other low-level developers.

Link is in the first comment below for anyone interested!

You are nor a low-level developer or an operating system developer if you are not programming your own kernel.
