We're two college students building an XR(AR/VR) native Operating System with a custom kernel. We're also Open Source so feel free to check our GitHub Repository- https://github.com/manaskamal/XenevaOS .
The journey hasn't exactly been easy, we've been criticized by a lot saying that whatever we're doing is impractical and that we're too ambitious. Regardless, we've been committed to reach our goal.
Here to answer all questions and doubts. Answering one question beforehand because we know someone is going to ask it -
Q: Why use your own kernel/ Why don't you use Linux/ Why are you trying to reinvent the wheel?
A: Using our own kernel helps us get rid of the baggage of legacy codes, bring the most optimal performance on our target hardware (XR/AR/VR) and achieve more efficiency than what we would've achieved on an existing kernel.
We're not trying to reinvent the wheel, but just building Formula One racing tyres for it.
