ToaruOS (also known as ToAruOS or とあるOS; 'toaru' is

64-bit
computer hardware with SMP.

Design and features

ToaruOS is programmed in C,[5] and uses the Cairo graphics library.[6] It has support for GCC, Python, and Simple DirectMedia Layer as well as many open-source utilities – including Vim.[7] A package manager and basic window switcher[6] are also included.

The kernel is a 'basic

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;

GUI was added with a window manager in 2012,[6]
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.[7] This marked the first stable release, but Lange stated it was still 'a work in development with so much work left to be done'.[2] This was superseded by versions 1.0.1 and 1.0.2, which added audio improvements and fixed bugs.[7]

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]

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.
