Testing (For reviewers)

To test the Duck OS kernel, you can use QEMU, a popular open-source emulator. Follow these steps:

  1. Download the latest release from https://github.com/arjav0703/duck_os/releases
  2. Install qemu (https://www.qemu.org/download/)
  3. Run the following command in your terminal (make sure the filename is appropriate).
qemu-system-x86_64 -drive format=raw,file=bootimage-kernel.bin -serial stdio

AI Declaration

Throughout the development of the project, I had tab completions turned on in my code editor (neovim btw :P). Occasionally used opencode to debug (some parts of the memory management section).
