VibeOS
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
VibeOS is an operating system built from scratch entirely by generative artificial intelligence, using code produced through prompts to Claude (vibe coding).[1] It is capable of running on QEMU and was successfully tested on a Raspberry Pi Zero. It has been released under the MIT license.

Further projects
There are other independent projects under the VibeOS name, including an independent development by Ben, also developed using vibe coding, aimed at creating a Unix-like operating system for educational purposes.[2]
Another project is Vib-OS, an operating system also built using vibe coding, capable of booting on a Raspberry Pi. It offers a desktop environment with a customizable wallpaper, a file manager, and a web browser currently in an early stage of development,[3] a functional Doom port, among other features that are not very polished given the state of development.
