GoKawiilCentOS Co-Founder Builds Linux-Compatible Kernel 'Ginux' Using AI Coding Agent
Gregory Kurtzer, co-founder of CentOS and Rocky Linux, says he built a new operating system kernel called Ginux in 11 days, with an AI coding agent writing nearly all the code. Though written from scratch in Rust rather than forked from Linux, Ginux shares Linux's application binary interface and can already boot Rocky Linux 10. The kernel currently fully supports only 82 of Linux's 375 x86-64 system calls, with 245 partially working and 48 intentionally blocked.
