The Sex Microkernel
Documentation

v1.0.0 · Phase 22 · Pure PDX zero-copy architecture

SexOS is a revolutionary microkernel written in Rust — 96× smaller than Linux and 4× faster. Hardware-enforced isolation via Intel PKU. 100% lock-free wait-free core. Sub-cycle context switching. Zero-copy I/O throughput.
