Hello again, Retro World.

Test the SilkOS beta now on Github.
Or compile it yourself.

Who we are

Silk is a project with a community that wants to be innovative, develop and revive operating systems since 2024. We are looking forward to getting more members for the Silk project. If you want to contribute or bring in ideas, you can feel free to ask us on our contact page.

What software we create and revive

The Silk project has created a large collection of software, which mainly includes older (but also newer!) operating systems, basic tools and applications. This includes, for example, SilkOS. SilkOS is a microkernel-based hobby operating system based on HelenOS. Its goal is to create a clean, stable and modular foundation for creating custom applications and services. This operating system can run on a variety of hardware, such as old computers and even VMs.

Why the name Silk

Because our software always runs silky smooth. I'm not sure what kind of question that is.
