Kernel
A kernel is the heart of almost every operating system. It is always loaded in memory at any time and deals with the hardware to provide an interface for the software. It also manages peripherals, memory, interrupts, and processes. Examples of widely used kernels include Windows NT and Linux.

O KiddieOS é um sistema operacional open-source básico em desenvolvimento pelo curso gratuito D.S.O.S [Desenvolvendo Sistemas Operacionais Simples]. A intenção deste sistema será: Criar, editar ou excluir arquivos, codificar em uma linguagem própria do sistema, criar objetos visuais e automatizados (desenhos) através desta linguagem, utilizar uma interface simples e intuitiva, criar novas interfaces gráficas, como: Janelas, botões, campos, etc... e estimular crianças, jovens e adultos a programar numa linguagem simples dentro do sistema operacional KiddieOS. A intenção do curso D.S.O.S é dá início ao desenvolvimento de sistemas operacionais utilizando a linguagem Assembly e entender a fundo sobre diversos conceitos internos deste tipo de sistema. Aqui neste repositório serão armazenados arquivos de APIs do KiddieOS, a imagem de disco para teste e futuramente - todo o sistema operacional completo. Visite o link abaixo para nos acompanhar no curso do Youtube, se inscreva neste canal para se manter atualizado e siga-me no GitHub. Vejo vocês lá:
