It is completely monolithic by design, and is configured mostly at compile time. It only supports standard computer devices: VGA/SVGA, keyboard, PS/2 mouse, serial mouse, computer speaker. The only future plans from the developer are bug fixes, optimizations, and adding more applications.

GentleOS/32 has a pure 16-bit spin-off called GentleOS/16, which is built for devices up to 80186.
