πŸ–₯️ Oh sure, everyone has an hour to spare for "a minimal proof of concept #timesharing OS #kernel on RISCV"β€”next you'll be #coding your own silicon in your #garage, right? πŸ™„ This is perfect for those who have too much free time and an insatiable desire to be the only person who understands their own obscure system software. πŸ‘¨β€πŸ’»

Writing an operating system kernel from scratch

Exploring a minimal implementation of a time-sharing kernel on RISC-V, implemented in Zig, on top of OpenSBI.

🌍 BashCore is spreading: 10 downloads this week from every corner of the globe! πŸš€

*** Both CLI & GUI builds on Debian 13 Trixie have been available in non-stable form, but this week I’m replacing them with fresh stable builds, released just 3 days ago (Aug 9). ***

Minimalism goes global, now with LTS power! πŸ‘Š

πŸ” GrapheneOS isn’t just de-Googled β€” it’s de-risked.

πŸ“± Built on AOSP, hardened with custom memory safety, exec protections, and zero default Google spyware.

Why it matters?
β†’ No telemetry.
β†’ No app hijack.
β†’ No location leaks.
β†’ Sandboxed Play Services (if you choose to install it).

🧠 You control every layer β€” from bootloader to baseband.

Privacy isn’t a feature. It’s the foundation.

151 downloads worldwide since launch: CLI, GUI, and even the unstable Trixie builds.

We hope those who tried BashCore found it useful.

Maybe someone really used it. Maybe more than one.

Running a custom stress test on several distros.

Not CPU burn, pure OS torment: forks, files, mounts, chaos.

BashCoreX and Parrot survived. Respect.
Others? Still on the torture rack.
No mercy, no GUI, just init, I/O and system calls.

Let’s see who breaks first.

Booted BashCoreX live on my MSI i7 Katana from a 32GB USB stick using Ventoy (with other ISOs on it).
Still got 15.1 GB of usable space on the live system 😳

Running with 16 cores, OS using less than 1GB of RAM.
It’s fast, clean, and lightweight. I'm honestly impressed.

Minimalist OS, max efficiency. πŸ’ͺ

[Day 1 complete – BashCore Uptime Test]
One full day running non-stop from a USB 2.0 stick on an Acer Aspire One D160 (2009, 2 GB RAM, no battery).

RAM: 800 MB / 1.91 GB
Load avg: 0.60 0.70 0.43
Stress-ng still running at ~18% CPU
Zero crashes, zero hangs. Still responsive.

Uptime test continues... 6 days to go!

πŸš€ The updated version of BashCore is now available on SourceForge! πŸŽ‰

All tools have been updated & upgraded, known bugs have been fixed, and we've added GPM (General Purpose Mouse) support for better usability.

A custom Debian live ISO with security tools, no GUI, only Bash.

Esiste una versione Windows 11 che occupa solo 100MB, ecco a cosa dovete rinunciare

Lo spazio occupato successivamente alla installazione Γ¨ di circa 2 GB, drasticamente meno rispetto alla versione completa.
