# LUM/MARINER
[](https://github.com/AFellowSpeedrunner/LUM-MARINER/actions/workflows/buildkern.yml)
LUM/MARINER attempts to aim to be a clone of XNU/Darwin written in Rust just without the Apple stuff. A kernel and Operating System.
Credits to [phil-opp](https://github.com/phil-opp) for the base code of this kernel.
## Disclaimer
If you are looking for something that works and that you can use, **this currently is not what you're looking for.** Go use [Aero](https://github.com/Andy-Python-Programmer/aero) by Andy-Python-Programmer instead. This still has a long way to go but I'm optimistic. If you're really bent on trying this, don't expect much. (Fun fact: Aero is another inspiration for me actually going ahead and trying to make this kernel and OS.)
## What do I plan for this?
I plan for LUM/MARINER to become a Unix based kernel in Rust that is almost like a clone of XNU/Darwin to some degree. I plan on making this compatible with Linux/Unix applications and making the kernel modular to allow for easier modifications.
## How do you build this?
Please refer to [BUILD.md](BUILD.md).
## Why?
I've always found XNU and Darwin really interesting to me and I've always wanted to do stuff with it but due to the way XNU/Darwin is, you can't really do much. Therefore, LUM/MARINER sprung into existence. And well... because why not? It seemed like a fun idea.
## What does LUM stand for?
"Like Unix... Maybe?"
## What does MARINER stand for?
It's a reference to something. I may say it in the future.

Oh, and I should probably point out that I'm doing this for fun and learning, before anyone attempts to destroy me for this... I know some people will.
