OS Written in Assembly

  • https://www.menuetos.net MenuetOS, an operating system written entirely in assembly complete with a GUI. Not all is open source
  • http://www.kolibrios.org/en/ KolibriOS is a free fork of MenuetOS. KolibriOS is very small - The kernel and most of the programs fit on a 1.44MB floppy disk.
