Maestro is a free and open-source, monolithic, multitasking, Unix-like operating system kernel and operating system. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]
Development and architecture
Development of Maestro began on 22 December 2018 as a school project by Luc Lenôtre, who conceived it as "A Unix-like operating system that is meant to be lightweight and compatible-enough with Linux to be usable in everyday life."[7]
Lenôtre originally implemented it using the C language but after a year and a half switched to Rust due to the complexity of the codebase and the additional memory safety features of the language.
Code changes are tracked using the git version control system. In the initial release, Maestro supports only the x86_32 architecture.
License
Maestro is provided under the AGPL-3.0 license since February 26, 2024.

Reviews
In a review published by the Linux Format magazine in April 2024, Nathan Drake concludes that "while the future is reassuringly rusty, various issues, such as duplicate drivers and backporting Rust support to LTS releases of versions of Linux, mean we’re probably some years away from a fully-fledged major." [8]
