Design and features
ToaruOS is programmed in C, and uses the Cairo graphics library. It has support for GCC, Python, and Simple DirectMedia Layer as well as many open-source utilities â including Vim. A package manager and basic window switcher are also included.The kernel is a 'basic Unix-like environment'. It has a hybrid architecture, with internal and external device support being delegated to modules. Several filesystems are supported via this system, including ext2 and ISO 9660. Networking support is included, but is limited to simple IPv4 functionality. The userspace also has a window manager, Yutani (named after the Weyland-Yutani Corporation from the Alien franchise, and as a reference to the Wayland Display Server for Linux), with input support. It stores windows as shared memory regions with 32-bit colour, and uses pipes to communicate to other parts of the OS. Unusually, windows also support a rotation feature.History
Development was started by creator K. Lange in December 2010; it initially was supported by the University of Illinois at UrbanaâChampaign, but after the beginning of 2012, it largely shifted to being mostly done by Lange. Initially, it was based on tutorials for x86 kernels. The operating system was named after the A Certain Scientific Railgun series of manga, but Lange stated it also mirrors generic naming of other hobby OSes. A GUI was added with a window manager in 2012, this was replaced with a more advanced version in 2014.The initial official release, version 1.0, was released at the end of January 2017. This marked the first stable release, but Lange stated it was still 'a work in development with so much work left to be done'. This was superseded by versions 1.0.1 and 1.0.2, which added audio improvements and fixed bugs.For April Fools' Day 2015, Lange released PonyOS, a version of ToaruOS themed after the animated series (My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic).{{citation needed|date=November 2018}}On March 18th, 2024 the project's GitHub repository was marked as "archived". There has been no comment from Lange as to what this means for the project.See also
