KolibriOS, or Kolibri, is a small, open-source x86 operating system written completely in assembly. The operating system supports any x86 CPU with an i586 or later architecture.[5] It was forked from MenuetOS in 2004 and has run under independent development since.[6]

In a 2009 review piece on alternative operating systems, TechRadar called it "tremendously impressive", noting its performance and streamlined codebase.[7]
