How to Run XenevaOS

XenevaOS is not fully functional on Real Hardware. It can be run on Virtualization environment like Virtual Box and VMWare Workstation. Instructions on How to run XenevaOS can be found on Documentations of XenevaOS inside the repository.

Known Issues

  • The scroll view is buggy and make the kernel crash, if scrolling is too fast this is due to TrueType font renderer allocating and deallocating heap memory faster which depends on Kernel process memory management system call
  • Sometimes if an app is closed, various running applications button below to the current app's button disappears from Namdapha bar leaving only buttons above the current app's button.
  • XenevaOS fails to run properly under Virtualization Based Security environment. This is not a bug or issue. Try running XenevaOS under VBS environment disabled
  • If you find any issue feel free to open an issue or send a pull request with fixes.

Conclusion

XenevaOS is under development and not fully functional and matured Operating System that can be used in daily needs. XenevaOS aims to be fully functional and matured Operating System fulfilling users daily needs.
