Helios was largely inspired by and modelled after the design of seL4 and was my first major foray into modern OS development that was serious enough to get to a somewhat useful state of functionality, with drives for some real hardware, filesystems, and an environment for running user programs of a reasonable level of sophistication.

Year-end donations round, 2025 edition
One more year, one more year-end donations round before reaching the next one. As every year, I highly encourage you to do the same. Please think about organizations that make a difference to you and software that you may use every day. Your contribution may make a difference to them in return.

KDE because I’ve recently switched to it on my personal computer, just to...
