Overview #
HeroOS is a custom operating system built from scratch as a genuine alternative to Windows — own kernel, drivers, GUI, shell, filesystem, and apps.
Windows ships ads, forced updates, and telemetry. HeroOS is a custom operating system built from scratch — own kernel, drivers, GUI, shell, and filesystem — designed to be fast, private, predictable, and owned end-to-end.

Frequently asked questions #
Is HeroOS a Minecraft mod?
No — it is a standalone operating system written in Rust.
Can I run it on my PC?
Not yet. It runs in an emulator today; real-hardware support is a v1.0 goal.
Will it really replace Windows?
That is the long-term vision — an honest, milestone-by-milestone path.
Can I download a build?
Not yet. There are no public builds until later milestones are reached.
