What is Airyx? Contributor Covenant

Airyx is a new open source OS project that aims to provide a similar experience and some compatibility with macOS on x86-64 sytems. It builds on the solid foundations of FreeBSD, existing open source packages in the same space, and new code to fill the gaps.

The main design goals are:

  • source compatibility with macOS applications (i.e. you could compile a Mac application on Airyx and run it)
  • similar GUI metaphors and familiar UX (file manager, application launcher, top menu bar that reflects the open application, etc)
  • compatible with macOS filesystems (HFS+ and APFS) and folder layouts (/Library, /System, /Users, /Volumes, etc)
  • self-contained applications in folders or a single file and a (mostly) installer-less experience for /Applications
  • mostly maintain compatibility with the FreeBSD base system and X11 - a standard Unix environment under the hood
  • compatible with Linux binaries via FreeBSD's Linux support
  • eventual compatibility with x86-64 macOS binaries (Mach-O) and libraries
  • pleasant to use, secure, stable, and performant
