WindowsNT in the hands of freedom

Development

Nix Flake

This project includes a Nix flake for development environments:

# Enter development shell
nix develop

# Or with specific shell
nix develop .#windows  # Windows cross-compilation environment

Building

# Build using make
make build-release

# Build installer
nix run .#build-installer

Structure

• adk/ossetup/ - Windows installer (ImGui + DirectX 11)
• libredaemon/ - Rust daemon for LibreNT
• drivers/ - BTRFS and other Windows drivers

Utility Scripts

• utils/Enable-ConsoleLogon.ps1 - toggles classic/console-style logon fallback by disabling or restoring authui.dll (supports online and offline Windows roots).
• tools/insert_file_banner.py - insert the standard file banner header into supported source files, with PURPOSE selected based on file type and location.

Example:

# Apply on current system (Admin shell)
.\utils/Enable-ConsoleLogon.ps1

# Apply to offline image mounted at D:\
.\utils/Enable-ConsoleLogon.ps1 -WindowsRoot 'D:\Windows'

# Restore
.\utils/Enable-ConsoleLogon.ps1 -WindowsRoot 'D:\Windows' -Restore

To preview banner insertion before modifying files:

python3 tools/insert_file_banner.py --dry-run

To apply the banner to all detected files:

python3 tools/insert_file_banner.py --apply

Note

I will accept any contributions to this project, even if it's just a typo fix, a driver update, or a new feature.
