The source tree for Cobalt, a lightweight and secure desktop operating system for the x86_64 architecture.
Cobalt is a fork of OpenBSD.
This repository is currently incomplete. Come back later for updates.
Cobalt is a security-focused desktop operating system designed for everyday usage. It is designed to be small, efficient and modern.
If you are not willing to commit to using Cobalt, you can opt for Cobalt Linux, a micro-distribution of Linux built on Cobalt's ecosystem.
