Introduction

What am I doing?

I am going through the Writing an OS in Rust guides created by Phil Oppermann.

I am hosting the source code in this repo. For each part of the original guide I will create an article on what I did and any notable changes or thoughts in regards to what was originally done, I will also create a git branch to save what I had done for each part of the guide.

Why am I doing this?

I want to learn lower level systems programming and I want to learn it through Rust as I am an interested in learning the capapilities of the language and if I want to switch to C/C++ it will be easier learning the fundamentals through Rust first.

What has been setup before starting the tutorial.

• Created the initial Rust barebones project.
• Since I use the Nix package manager I have created a Flake.nix that I will use with nix-direnv to control my developer environments
• I have created the repository on Github here and committed all the current changes to it.

Now I can start with the guide and will leave any updates on further pages.
