JefeOS C++ kernel — shipped (green check), in progress (orange dash), planned (open circle).

Linux ABI Tier Ladder

Five workload tiers from "static musl hello" to "boot Alpine init." Each tier subsumes the prior. Tiers 1-3 GREEN; aggregate progress toward Tier 5: ~60%.

JefeOS (C++) vs JefeRust Parity

JefeRust is a parallel Rust rewrite under JefeRust/. Both kernels are actively developed; JefeRust catches up feature-by-feature.

Shipped Since Jan 19, 2026

120 days of POSIX expansion (~83% strict), full Linux ABI through Tier 3, real workloads (Python, Doom, sqlite3, lua, bash), and ongoing dual-kernel parity work.
