Ginux kernel, built via AI-directed coding agent, boots Rocky Linux 10 userspace
Researchers describe Ginux, an experimental Rust-based x86-64 kernel built over eleven days using a method they call Human-Directed Agentic Engineering, where a human sets architecture and milestones while an autonomous coding agent handles implementation and debugging. The kernel boots via UEFI, includes its own OS mechanisms plus a Linux compatibility layer, runs select unmodified Alpine Linux programs, and can boot a Rocky Linux 10 userspace through systemd's multi-user.target.
