A full GUI OS written in FASM assembly — boots from a 1.44 MB floppy, runs in megabytes, compiles itself; small-is-powerful incarnate.

Descended from MenuetOS
Written in Assembly language
KolibriOS is the MenuetOS fork — a complete GUI OS written entirely in x86 assembly, booting from a floppy into a graphical desktop in seconds. ~100K of code does what other OSes need gigabytes for.\n\nThe 'small is powerful' thesis made literal; still developed, still absurd.
