__NOTOC__
This page maintains a list of 76 academic, personal, and small non-commercial operating systems - which are considered as have been abandoned by their
OSes have a high mortality rate: between 2004 and 2006, 112 of 213 OS Projects disappeared from the Internet. And looking at how often these projects are started by using the [[Forum:2|OS Project Announcement forum]], in that same time period 68 projects were announced! The current total is 175 projects, but just 58 of them are active (as of January 1, 2018) and only 99 have been updated at least once since 2015. Please help keep this list current by correcting it if you see any outdated information.

|OSName=Arcrascent OS
|OSDescription=Arcrascent OS is a x86/x86-64 operating system in development since June 2013. It is fully UNIX-compatible but not an Unix clone. It includes FAT12/16/32 and EXT2/EXT3 drivers, floppy and (S)ATA drivers, (very) basic networking, sound driver, keyboard/mouse driver. It also has a real-mode emulator, multitasking, process prioritization, very advanced serial console ("SerCon"), an enhanced device file system for intercomponent communication, full-fledged ACPI controller (supports rebooting and shutdown). This operating system has a very unique Superiority management system where a superelevated process can, through the "SerCon" execute commands at RING0 level for programs that require direct hardware access. The goal is to be user-friendly and to provide a comfortable environment for both developer and regular users. An upcoming kernel module is called "CSM" and contains complex algorithms that will improve human machine interaction. The module currently has the ability to interpret English statements and extract new information it can obtain from such statements. The language interpreter will support visual & auditory inputs and even support outputs in multiple forms of communication (e.g. text, visual, sound). When completed, this innovative ''AI-like'' module will support machine "imagination" and inference, making a computer feel less like a machine!

|OSName=Cédille
|OSDescription=Cédille is a microkernel that attempts to be just that - a kernel with barely anything in it so it doesn't screw up. It boots via Grub and is inspired by Mach and Linux.

{{OSProject
|OSName=DexOS
|OSDescription=DexOS is a 32bit OS coded in 100% ASM by Craig Bamford, based on the idea that it would be cool to have a OS based on a console type OS, but - instead of running on a XBox or PS - it would run on x86 PC. From the start, as you would expect from a OS based on a game's console OS, optimizing for speed has been of paramount important in the over all design. To this end there's no virtual memory, paging, and only a single process is allowed (though that process can spawn multiple threads). The program runs in ring0, you have direct access to all hardware (including CPU and graphics). Memory allocation is the responsibility of the app -- there's no front-end memory allocation. The entire OS will fit into less than 100k. My homepage: http://dex-os.github.io/

|OSName=DreckigOS
|OSDescription=Dreckig OS is an x86, real mode, multi-tasking(kinda) operating system written in assembly language. It uses a megalithic kernel, an experimental kernel architecture. Dreckig also has a GUI and a custom RAM disk file system. I am also developing a programming language for use with Dreckig OS.

|OSName=Drex
|OSDescription=It's a kernel for the IA32 architecture written in C and asm. It's based on the exokernel architecture but forks from it when simplicity can be gained.

{{OSProject
|OSName=GeekOS
|OSDescription=Earlier versions of GeekOS have been used as the basis for student projects in operating system courses. This new development version of GeekOS is a rewrite designed to address limitations in the original version. It is not specifically designed for course projects, but because it strives for simplicity, it might be useful for people interested in learning about OS kernel implementation. Currently it builds on x86 and runs under Bochs and Qemu
