SakuOS
Delete? No — Reborn.
A lightweight operating system that gives your old PC one last chance before it goes to the trash.
SakuOS is a minimal and experimental OS project built around the concept of
“an operating system that starts from what you don’t need.”
Currently CLI-only, with a GUI under development.
We’re looking for contributors who want to build this OS together.
🌱 Concept
- A lightweight OS designed to revive old or unused PCs
- The desktop’s main character is the Trash Bin
- The system aims to learn from deleted files and uninstalled apps
to highlight “what you truly need” - Still highly experimental — specifications may change significantly
🧪 Current Status (Pre-alpha 0.1 Preview)
- Boots into CLI
- Bootloader → Kernel startup works
- GUI not implemented yet
- Installation not supported (live boot only)
