guideXOS Server
An OS for a world beyond one CPU architecture
guideXOS Server is an independent operating-system product line under the guideXOS umbrella. Its first public release is a bootable amd64 ISO with a graphical desktop, built-in applications, file-management tools, networking work, and continued multi-architecture development.

What you can use in v0.1.0
The released system is an early, independent operating-system build—not a promise of universal hardware support.
Desktop and windowing
A graphical desktop with window management, desktop items, taskbar, Start Menu, and framebuffer display work.
Implemented in v0.1.0File Explorer and Trash
File Explorer supports practical file and folder operations, with Trash integration and conservative handling of non-empty folders.
Implemented in v0.1.0Built-in applications
The released app model includes built-in utilities such as Notepad, Calculator, Clock, File Explorer, Task Manager, Display Options, and more.
Implemented in v0.1.0guideXOS Navigator
The native Navigator browser is included, with current HTTP, HTML subset, forms-lite, bookmarks, and local rendering work.
Implemented with limitsApp Model
Built-in metadata, manifests, launch resolution, file associations, and shell objects are present; hosted and bare-metal paths remain distinct.
Partial parityStorage and networking
The released build carries the current storage, filesystem, VFS, and networking layers used by its boot and desktop paths. Device compatibility varies.
Implemented; hardware variesRelease boundaries
Implemented in v0.1.0
The amd64 bootable ISO, desktop shell, built-in apps, file-management environment, Navigator, storage, and networking work described above.
ReleasedHosted / development mode
Some compositor diagnostics, app-model tooling, Native ELF samples, and faster UI iteration are best evidenced in hosted builds.
PartialExperimental
Broader architecture ports, GXAPP execution, hypervisor work, and deeper hosted/bare-metal parity remain experimental.
ExperimentalPlanned
Universal application tooling, SDK growth, additional architecture maturity, and a media-creation workflow remain later work.
RoadmapArchitecture direction
v0.1.0 is distributed for amd64; the broader architecture direction remains development and roadmap material.
Try it carefully
guideXOS Server v0.1.0 is an early independent operating-system release. Start in a virtual machine or use spare, non-critical hardware, preserve important data before bare-metal testing, and expect compatibility and application edge cases.
