Gregory Kurtzer, founder of Rocky Linux, used Human-Directed Agentic Engineering (HDAE) to build Ginux, an independent Rust-based kernel compatible with the Linux ABI, in just 11 days. By generating approximately 139,000 lines of code with AI assistance, he demonstrated that the kernel can successfully boot Rocky Linux 10 and run systemd, validating AI's capability in complex systems software development.

    CentOS Founder Builds Rust Kernel Ginux in 11 Days with AI

    • Ginux is not a fork but an independent Rust kernel built from scratch, including memory management and schedulers.
    • By implementing the Linux ABI, Ginux allows unmodified existing Linux binaries to run directly on it.
    • The project utilized Human-Directed Agentic Engineering (HDAE), where humans define architecture and acceptance criteria while AI handles code generation.
