A BSD-based OS project that aims to provide an experience like and some compatibility with macOS

What is Helium?

Helium is a new open source OS project that aims to provide a similar experience and some compatibiilty with macOS on x86-64 sytems. It will build 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 Helium 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
  • 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

Why BSD instead of Linux?

In theory, it will be easier to build Mac code on FreeBSD because it is closer to macOS than Linux is. BSD kernels also support a foreign system call interface which should help make emulating Mach system calls easier, and eliminates the need to emulate BSD system calls like Darling (on Linux) does. Also, why not? Devils need love too!

Is this... legally sketchy?

No. Consider projects like ReactOS, a from-scratch effort to create an OS compatible with Microsoft Windows, GNUstep, which provides an open implementation of Cocoa APIs and other things, or Darling, a Darwin (macOS) emulation on Linux. Helium is similar and stands on the shoulders of many such projects.

All code used is freely available under open source licenses. No proprietary elements like fonts, icons, trademarks, etc can be used. Original code must be written using "clean room" techniques - that is, from public documentation like developer guides by people who have never seen the proprietary code - and released under the FreeBSD license or the MIT license.

What programming languages does Helium use?

The goal is to use a small core set of languages as much as possible: the "C" family (C, C++, Objective-C), Swift, Python, Java, and shell scripts. This should cover most needs.

I can code in those! How can I help?

Great! We are just getting organized right now. Follow the project and watch for updates!

I don't code. Can I still help?

Absolutely! There will be art, documentation, testing, UX and UI work, release management, project management, legal advice, and many other ways to contribute. Follow the project and watch for updates!

This is a huge effort. Y'all must be crazy!

Probably. But...

"Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. The push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do."

  • Reconsider Linux as base

    Reconsider Linux as base

    With the introduction of Syscall User Dispatch in Linux 5.11, it is now possible to implement foreign system calls in a less hackish and performant manner. One example for this https://github.com/meme/limbo ( a mach-o loader and XNU syscalls translator for Linux). Of course, the benefits vs drawbacks of implementing syscalls in userspace still has to be considered.

    The benefit Linux brings in terms of hardware support cannot be understated. Imagine Linux with coherent desktop experience with the ability to ride on macOS app ecosystem success. That's a winner in my book.

    Installation doesn't create a bootable disk

    Live user works great. But after installing, I don't have a bootable system. This system works fine with GhostBSD and helloSystem; in fact I just installed helloSystem over the unbootable airyx, and it is working just fine. I have a Dell Inspiron 3521. It's a 2nd generation i3, and FreeBSD doesn't work from UEFI, it only works when I set bios to legacy node

    When a Filer window is selected, its menu shows in the top bar as expected. However, when the desktop (i.e. no app) is selected, there is no menu. We should still see the Filer menu in this case.

    Kernel Panic after boot from SSD

    The startup after boot is a hit or miss situation. It might make it to the login screen, and I can logon to the desktop. Or not.

    This kernel panic happened after the startup had frozen. Could not ctrl+alt+F2 (or F3). So I held down the power button until it responded with this kernel panic.

    0.3pre: Mouse does not work

    Mouse does not work. Tested on 2 different machine, one with a USB mouse and one with an ELAN Touchpad.

    Re-plugging the USB mouse does not make it work. dmesg correctly shows the USB mouse, so it is detected on the USB bus.

  • A way to invoke the Black Screen of Contention

    A way to invoke the Black Screen of Contention

    I was poking around yesterday and stumbled upon a way to invoke the Black Screen of Contention

    1. Boot Live CD to normal Summer Field desktop
    2. Right-click on desktop and create a new folder.
    3. Click on the new folder to open a Filer window.
    4. Navigate Filer to /System/Library/CoreServices
    5. Click on Filer icon
    6. Right-click on the Filer icon and select "Get Info" from the pop-up menu.

  • Bar.app: Shared object

    Bar.app: Shared object "libjpeg.so.62" not found

    Thank you very mich for uploading https://github.com/mszoek/helium/releases/download/M1/Bar.app.tgz, an example application to see whether it can run on helloSystem. So exciting!

    This is what currently happens when you run it:

    ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libjpeg.so.62" not found, required by "libOnyx2D.so"

    Please add libjpeg.so.62 to the bundle, since it doesn't seem to be a standard library on FreeBSD?

    I tried this workaround:

    sudo pkg install libjpeg-turbo
    sudo cp /usr/local/lib/libturbojpeg.so.0.2.0 /usr/local/lib/libjpeg.so.62
    

    But it is not sufficient:

    image

    Thanks to the launch command, we now get the message on screen:

    This application requires at least version LIBJPEGTURBO_6.2 of libjpeg.so.62 to run.

    (For double-clicking to work in helloSystem Filer, I symlinked the main executable to the top-level directory of the .app bundle.)

  • Consider Arcan for the display server

    Consider Arcan for the display server

    Arcan is a flexible windowing system that provides both Wayland and X11 compatibility layers. Importantly for this project, it is designed to support sandboxing and disconnection. It looks like a much better building block for this project than Xorg or any of the Wayland compositors.

    I believe that it should be relatively easy to add Capsicum support to Arcan.

    i915kms.ko iGVT-g error with CRTC pipe mismatch

    When iGVT-g is enabled, there are errors on the serial console about a CRTC pipe state mismatch. This may be related to the artifacts on the ravynOS login screen.

    When I started digging into the origin of the errors, I discovered that vmwgfx may be silently suffering from the same malady. So I will be using this issue to document my research into the source of this mismatch. As it may assist with vmwgfx troubleshooting.

    Here is an excerpt from the serial console with the errors:
