Finally something lightweight for Apple Silicon that isn't macOS. Tried it in QEMU on my M1 Air boots in seconds, uses around 100MB RAM. The fact that it runs Alpine Linux binaries natively (no VM, no emulation) is impressive. Still alpha, but if you're tired of macOS getting bloated with every update, this is worth watching.

What is Vinix?

Vinix is an effort to write a modern, fast, and useful operating system in the V programming language.

What is Vinix all about?

  • Keeping the code as simple and easy to understand as possible, while not sacrificing performance and prioritising code correctness.
  • Making a usable OS which can run on real hardware, not just on emulators or virtual machines.
  • Targeting modern 64-bit amd/arm architectures, CPU features, and multi-core computing.
  • Maintaining good source-level compatibility with Linux to allow to easily port programs over. On arm64 Vinix runs Alpine binaries.
  • Running on Apple Silicon Macbooks. Only M1 for now.
  • Exploring V capabilities in bare metal programming and improving the compiler in response to the uncommon needs of bare metal programming.
  • Having fun.
