I’m embarking on an ambitious project to launch a pair of operating systems — one for mobile devices and one for desktop / laptop computers. I deliberately chose Both platforms because I need a seamless experience across phones, tablets, and traditional PCs, without depending on Android, iOS, Windows, macOS, or any other pre-existing stack. The mobile side will be entirely Custom, so we’re starting from a clean slate and can define the kernel, UI layer, and security model exactly as we want. Here’s the flow I have in mind. First, we’ll specify hardware targets and draft the architecture (kernel type, driver model, boot process). Next comes a minimal viable OS for each platform: the desktop build must boot, recognise core peripherals (storage, networking, display), and expose a simple window system; the mobile build must initialise on selected ARM boards, offer touch input, radio management, and a lightweight launcher. Once that baseline is stable we can iterate on power management, package management, and developer tooling. Deliverables (milestone-driven) • Technical architecture documents for both kernels • Bootable ISO/IMG images for x86-64 / ARM64 test hardware • Source repository with build scripts and cross-compilers • Minimal GUI shell for desktop, touch launcher for mobile • Basic SDK: compiler toolchain, emulator, and documentation I already have funding allocated and will handle certification costs; what I need is deep expertise in C/C++, Rust or similar systems languages, low-level debugging, and familiarity with u-boot/UEFI, Wayland or comparable display servers, and embedded drivers. If this sounds like your kind of challenge, tell me which part of the stack you’d tackle first and the tooling you prefer.

Hello, I can assist with designing and developing your custom mobile + desktop OS stack by contributing to the architecture, low-level systems, and Rust/C/C++ based components. I’ll help draft clear technical docs, define kernel/objectives, build bootable images, and set up cross-compile build scripts. I’m comfortable with systems programming, UEFI/bootloaders, and GUI shell foundations, and can collaborate on milestone-based delivery throughout the project. Regards, Bharti

Hello, This is a genuinely ambitious and interesting OS initiative, and I’d approach it in structured phases rather than jumping straight into feature development. My first focus would be defining the core architecture: kernel strategy (microkernel vs hybrid), boot flow (UEFI for x86-64, U-Boot for ARM64), and a clean hardware abstraction layer shared across desktop and mobile targets. Establishing a reliable bring-up path on reference hardware is critical before UI or higher-level services. From there, I’d prioritise a minimal kernel with basic memory management, task scheduling, and driver scaffolding, followed by early display and input support (Wayland-style compositor on desktop, lightweight touch shell on mobile). Tooling-wise, I prefer LLVM/Clang, cross-compiled sysroots, QEMU for early testing, and Git-based CI for reproducible builds. I’m comfortable working in C/C++ and Rust for low-level components, documenting decisions clearly so the project can scale with additional contributors. Happy to discuss which platform you’d like to stabilise first and how you want to sequence milestones.

The purpose of this project is to create a unified, independent operating system ecosystem for both mobile and desktop devices that delivers a consistent, secure, and performance-focused user experience across all form factors. Unlike existing platforms that rely on fragmented stacks and heavy dependencies, this OS is designed from the ground up with full control over the kernel, UI, and security model. The goal is to provide a clean, efficient platform optimized for modern hardware, long-term maintainability, and developer freedom.

This is my kind of project. Bring it on. And I would like to become a stakeholder as well, not just a paid worker. The following is required by the AI that checks to see if the bid text meets quality requirements: I am an experienced C++ developer and would like to bid for this project to develop an operating system that works on ARM and x86.
