I'd just like to interject for moment. What you're refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux!

I don't get it.
What is the point? What can it do better? Does it have an abysmal package collection? What is it compatible with? Should whoever took the pictures on the screenshot page be fired?

>>59978890
Its likely a research os desu.

Present some cool ideas, generally be unusable, parts of it fijd its way into linux.

>>59978731
Nothing against Rust but... why would you write a fucking OS in it?

>>59978907
Oh, that's cool then. I was only wondering because they used one of those classic flat, minimal display pages that made it look like some professional distro that they want people to use.

>>59978924
Well they want it usable. But its like temple OS, haiku and plan9.

All are cool ideas and usablr, but not in the real world.

Its good to breal from the norm and experiment

>>59978949
That's true, anon. Perhaps I've just become too cynical from this conveyor belt of new, useless distros over the years.

>>59978916
Why not. It's faster than C++, safe and has a very wide range of low level features

>>59978731
>iOS icons
kek

>>59978916
Because it's a systems language that aims to replace C++?

I guess it's safe to say you've never used let alone seen an ios device before.
