Open Source OS That Are Not Linux

Reply in thread

Yeah, I am worried that we are becoming too dependent on Linux(kernel) and systemd. I think it would be very hard to maintain a fork of Linux and systemd because their codebases are very large, and develop at a really fast pace (ai will make this even worse).

Of course these are my opinions, but I wonder if anyone shares them as well besides me.

Open Source OS That Are Not Linux

From what I understand from the article is that public domain's legality can be questioned (especially in germany), therefore they conclude that it is not opensource, similar to how releasing software with no license is not OSS. That is where licenses like in the article CC0 come in play and unlicense to help create legal public-domain-like software.

In templeOS case

TempleOS is 100% open source with all source present.

Copyleft/open source Project Recommendations Please

The GNU Hurd. Keep laughing, it will get there.

Edit: instead of outright promoting the GNU Hurd, I will give my reasons.

  1. The architecture of the Hurd is very scalable compared to other kernels. It does not need much rewriting to adapt to modern technology. Rewriting the Hurd in rust is much easier than other kernels.

  2. It is a GNU project so if it does succeed, we can spread the Free software philosophy to others. It also means that corpo's cannot influence it.

  3. It is GPLv2 or later, so that is nice to have.

  4. It holds all the benefits of a microkernel.

There is probably more, but they are not as important to me personally.
