zinnia: a modular 64-bit Unix-like kernel written in Rust

Quality: 8/10 Relevance: 9/10

Summary

Zinnia is a modular 64-bit Unix-like kernel written mostly in Rust, aiming to minimize unsafe code and provide POSIX APIs along with common Linux/BSD extensions such as epoll and timerfd. It supports Wayland and X11 sessions, loads drivers as modules via an initrd, and boots on UEFI with Limine; cross-architecture support (x86_64, aarch64, riscv64) is in progress. The project is open-source and actively developed, with links to its GitHub repositories.
