QNX Desktop 2019-03 update
- amaccuish 8y agoI still think it's a real shame this all went closed-source :(
- tyingq 8y agoEven when it was "open source", it wasn't really. It was only free for hobbyist type use. "Access to QNX source code is free, but commercial deployments of QNX Neutrino runtime components still require royalties, and commercial developers will continue to pay for QNX Momentics® development seats." http://www.qnx.com/news/pr_2471_1.html http://www.qnx.com/news/pr_2471_1.html
- nfoz 8y agoI love QNX and deeply wish it were open-source (and that it had been open-sourced decades ago). Great to see it's still alive / getting updates. I was confused why this was posted on a wordpress. From the About page: > My name is Elad Lahav. I am a kernel developer at QNX Software Systems. This is my personal developer’s blog. All views expressed here are my own.
- YUMad 8y agoIt was open sourced for a brief period of time, and torrents of that can still be found floating around. But I agree with you, it's an amazing OS and it's a shame it didn't get a w8der userbase.
- sprash 8y agoPersonally i really like the original QNX Neutrino Gui: https://guidebookgallery.org/screenshots/qnx621 https://guidebookgallery.org/screenshots/qnx621
- ttul 8y agoIn university, we had to develop some software for a project using QNX (this was the 1990s). They had an interprocess messaging API that was simply awesome. You just defined your data in a struct and used send() to transmit it to the other process, which used receive() to receive it. Easy to use and super fast - way easier than the IPC stuff that was available in Linux at the time.
