Phases are marked by what actually runs, not by what has been started. Anything not yet working is listed as planned.
UEFI boot, long mode, paging, interrupts and the APIC. A windowing system with a taskbar, and the first native applications — files, editor, terminal, calculator, clock.
Storage across NVMe, AHCI, ATA and USB mass storage. Ethernet and MediaTek Wi-Fi. Intel HD Audio. PS/2 input with wheel support. FAT32 and FAT16 with crash-ordered writes.
Threads and futexes, demand-paged memory, epoll, sockets, shared memory by descriptor, and descriptor passing over sockets — enough surface that an unmodified Linux ELF starts and runs.
Chrome runs and renders through the in-kernel Wayland compositor. Current work is on the allocator boundary, input fidelity and frame latency — the difference between a browser that loads and a browser you would choose to use.
Local inference with no network path, plus formant speech synthesis. Work continues on model loading time and the assistant's reach into the desktop.
A GPU path so rasterisation leaves the CPU, an installer that partitions and provisions A/B slots on internal storage, and signed update delivery over the existing rollback mechanism.
Broader hardware coverage, a packaging format for third-party applications built on the loadable-module system, and published hardware compatibility results.
