NocturneOS is a SayoriOS fork.
It's a simple operating system for x86-based computers. Written in C, Rust and x86 Assembly.
- Be minimal.
- Be useful.
- Be convinient to use.
- Be versatile.
ACHTUNG: This project DOESN'T approach to replace existing OSes IN ANY WAY.
This project is created for:
- Learning low-level programming and OSDEV.
- Just for fun, why not?
- Experiments
Coming soon :)

If you want to just write/port some software for NocturneOS, you'll have to download NocturneSDK: https://github.com/NocturneOS/NocturneSDK
Supported host systems are Linux or Windows with WSL.
Make sure you have build tools installed:
sudo apt-get install python3 gcc cmake ninja-build xorriso mtools grub-pc-binNocturneOS has modules written in Rust programming language, so you'll have to install it too:
curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | shRun this script to get needed nightly compiler and std sources:
bash tools/rust.shIf you plan to run NocturneOS in QEMU, make sure you installed it too:
sudo apt-get install qemu-system-x86 qemu-toolsThen finally clone the repo:
git clone https://github.com/NocturneOS/Nocturne NocturneOSEnter the directory:
cd NocturneOSLet's make a build with default configuration:
cmake -B cmake-build-debug -G Ninja . -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=DebugCompile the build and run in QEMU
cmake --build cmake-build-debug/ -j$(nproc) -- runNOTE: Replace run with iso to just make an ISO file. It will be placed in the build folder (cmake-build-debug/ in our case).
NocturneOS Team always welcomes new developers, testers and users!
Here's some instructions:
If you want to help this project you can do following things:
- Clone NocturneOS sources.
- Create a separate branch (
git checkout -b ...) for your changes - Make your changes, commit them and push to your repo.
- Make a pull request
Your contribution is very appreciated!
You can build OS from sources as described in Build section or download a latest-unstable .iso release from the Releases page for testing.
If you found a bug or other mistake in the project, create a new issue in the Issues tab.
Describe the problem in details so we can help you.
NocturneOS IS NOT a Linux distribution. It's a brand-new project that is not linked to some company or organization that can guarantee its stability.
The NocturneOS kernel is open-source and you can ensure that there's no built-in malware by looking through the code.
