DEV Community: Adebisi Oluwajoba

Building an OS from scratch is a different kind of challenge.

I'd like to share BoringOS, an independent x86_64 desktop operating system written primarily in C.

This is not a Linux distribution or a customized existing OS. The project is developing its own kernel, userspace, filesystem functionality, USB/xHCI and HID support, process/task architecture, and a native desktop environment called BoringWM.

For developers interested in OSDev and low-level systems programming, it's an interesting project to explore and follow.

I'm particularly interested in hearing from developers with experience in kernel or systems programming:

Which subsystem would you be most interested in contributing to or seeing developed further—kernel architecture, filesystems, USB support, process management, or the desktop environment?

Hi everyone! 👋

I'm excited to join this developer community and connect with people building interesting projects.

I'm particularly interested in open source, developer tools, self-hosted software, DevOps, technical documentation, and GitHub projects.

I'm currently exploring ways to help useful projects reach the right developers and communities through genuine discussions, feedback, testing, and collaboration.

I'd love to connect with developers who are:

Building open-source projects
Working on developer tools
Interested in self-hosted software
Working with DevOps or infrastructure
Looking for feedback on their GitHub projects

Feel free to share what you're currently building! I'd love to discover interesting projects and exchange ideas with the community.

What do you think is the biggest challenge when moving from Windows to Linux?

For many people, switching isn't just about choosing a Linux distribution and installing it.

There are questions around hardware compatibility, software alternatives, daily workflows, privacy, gaming, drivers, and whether Linux is actually ready for their specific needs.

That got me thinking: Can we help people evaluate their Linux migration readiness before they make the switch?

So, I built Linux Migration Companion, an open-source tool designed to help Windows users understand their migration readiness, identify potential compatibility concerns, and create a structured migration plan through a personal Linux Migration Passport.

🚀 Looking for Developers and Open-Source Contributors

I'm actively looking to connect with developers, Linux enthusiasts, and open-source contributors who would like to help improve the project.

Whether your contribution is through:

• Improving the code
• Reporting bugs
• Suggesting new migration checks or features
• Improving the UI/UX
• Testing on different hardware and Linux distributions
• Improving documentation
• Reviewing the project architecture
• Opening issues or submitting pull requests

Every meaningful contribution is welcome.

I'm especially interested in hearing from developers and experienced Linux users who have real-world experience helping people migrate from Windows.

If this project interests you, check out the repository, explore the project, open an issue with your ideas, or contribute directly with a pull request.

Let's build something that can make the move to Linux easier for more people — together.

Honest feedback, technical criticism, ideas, issues, and contributions are all welcome.
