# The Lunaix Project
-The Lunaix, LunaixOS, or Lunaix kernel to be exact, is a multi-architectural general purpose kernel written from scratch by the author *independently*. It is the author's years-long personal endeavor and also a challenge to oneself for writing a functioning kernel **without** any external reference such as existing implementations, tutorials and books (with code) on kernel design. As a result, this project is a manifestation of the author's own research and understanding on the board topic of operating system design and implementation.
+The Lunaix kernel (or soon-to-be LunaixOS) is a hobby kernel, written entirely from scratch. Designed to be POSIX-compliance, performance critical and modern, with some independent thoughts being applied in architectural design.
-## Introduction
+This project is based solely on first principles. Meaning that it does neither copy-pasting nor recycling other os projects/tutorials. However, this doesn't necessarily imply superiority; In fact, Lunaix starts out as a mean to challenge my understanding in OS theory and also a platform for experimenting some advanced (and cool) kernel features. If you are a kernel hobbyist who want some new perspectives or just simply get fatigued on those recycled content, then you have came to the right place!
-The overall design of lunaix is aimed to be modern and POSIX-compliance. In a nutshell, Lunaix is:

+## Features
+
+In a nutshell, Lunaix is a multi-architectural general purpose kernel, and she is:
+ fully-preemptive
+ modular design with configurable components at compile-time and extendable subsystems
+ GICv3
+ PL011 (W.I.P)
