First public release
guideXOS Server v0.1.0 is the first public release of the guideXOS Server product line. The downloadable build targets amd64 and packages the current UEFI boot path, kernel, desktop, applications, and system services as a bootable ISO. It is a separate native product direction from the existing C#/AOT guideXOS desktop operating system.
What is included
The released system includes the following user-facing and platform work, with hosted/development and bare-metal parity called out in the Server wiki where it differs:
- Graphical desktop environment
- Window management, taskbar, Start Menu, and desktop
- File Explorer and practical file-management operations
- Trash integration, with conservative non-empty-folder behavior
- Built-in applications and utilities
- guideXOS Navigator
- App Model and packaged-application work
- Storage and filesystem support used by the released system
- Networking functionality present in the released build
- Bootable ISO for virtual-machine testing
- amd64 UEFI boot path for compatible physical-hardware testing
- Continued architecture-portability development in the source tree
The broader .gxapp universal-application direction, Native ELF execution, and architecture-specific runtime breadth remain bounded or experimental; see the linked wiki pages for status.
Release maturity
v0.1.0 is an early independent-operating-system release. It is not production-ready and is not presented as a replacement for Windows, Linux, or another established operating system. Try it first in a virtual machine or on spare, non-critical hardware, and preserve important data before bare-metal testing.
Hardware and boot notes
- The downloadable release is specifically amd64 and uses the documented UEFI boot path.
- Hardware compatibility varies; a public amd64 ISO does not imply universal physical-machine support.
- Virtual-machine testing is the recommended first step.
- Preserve important data before bare-metal testing on spare hardware.
- The Media Creator is not yet available; write or attach media using your own trusted workflow.
Known limitations
- Early v0.1 hardware compatibility and no guarantee of support for every physical machine.
- Hosted and bare-metal paths do not have identical behavior across every feature.
- The Media Creator is temporarily unavailable.
- Other CPU architectures remain development or roadmap targets; they are not public v0.1.0 downloads.
- Features and applications may still have incomplete edge cases.
- Non-empty directory Delete/Move to Trash is deliberately refused in v0.1.
