OptimaOS: A Rust Kernel That Boots on Real x86_64 Hardware

TL;DR AI
2 min readKey summary
OptimaOS, a Rust-based x86_64 kernel, now boots stably on real hardware via UEFI, with post-UEFI runtime working.
The project uses one fixed kernel core, while boot-time profiles control policy such as scheduling, permissions, and resource limits.
This architecture aims to reduce fragmentation and security/audit overhead by separating mechanisms from runtime policy.
The milestone demonstrates real hardware boot success, not just emulator progress, for the kernel's current design.
