KeshOS 1.0 “Drop” — Independent 64-bit OS progress (C++ compositor, Ring 3 userland, network stack) by SneakDeak

Wanted to share the current progress on KeshOS, an independent 64-bit desktop operating system developed under our indie team, SneakDeak. The project is led by a developer from Ukraine, and what started as an experiment is steadily growing into a serious, active project aimed at giving aging hardware a second life without the bloat of modern platforms.
Here is an honest breakdown of where the system stands right now, and what is currently in active development:
Working right now:
Boot: Pure x86_64 UEFI with GPT partition layout using the Limine bootloader.
Kernel & Userland: C/ASM kernel with page-table isolation and verified Ring 3 user mode.
Compositor & Windowing: Custom C++ linear framebuffer compositor with double buffering. The screenshot shows our native Paint application running in Ring 3, handling mouse drag/drawing events in real time.
Networking: Initial network stack is operational — ARP, ICMP (⁠ping⁠), and DNS queries resolve properly.
On our immediate roadmap (work in progress):
Persistence & Filesystem: Moving from RAM-disk live mode to read/write Ext2 filesystem support and a LiveCD installer.
Application Ecosystem: Finalizing our native ⁠.kea⁠ (ELF64 container) binary spec and dynamic runtime libraries (⁠ksh64⁠).
Package Management: HTTP-based package retrieval via ⁠kpm⁠ and an experimental Linux syscall translation layer (FreeBSD-style ABI mapping) for CLI tools.
Localization: The OS will have native multilingual support out of the box, with full English, Ukrainian, and Russian locales.
SneakDeak isn't just limited to KeshOS — we also work on custom legacy server infrastructure (including custom Skype server backends) and other low-level projects.
Our website is sneakdeak.net (it's currently undergoing technical maintenance and is mostly in Russian for now, but we are updating it).
We are actively trying to turn this into a solid developer community rather than keeping it in a private silo. If you want to track raw builds, test upcoming ISOs, or just talk OS development nd low-level tech, we'd love to have you in our Discord: https://discord.gg/YgMe7ekA5y
