The GUI is cool and all, but someone could implement that for Linux or BSD. I'm more interested in how the kernel differs from Linux, and what the plan is to increase hardware support (if any).
- lerno 5y agoI believe the kernel design is inspired by the original NT design.
- ncmncm 5y agoThe future of OS design, if it has a future, is kernel bypass. The kernel will only manage access to resources, usually described as the "control plane", while the data bypasses the kernel, via the "data plane", handed over to programs. Virtual memory mapping is another dead end. Programs will be compiled by a trusted compiler that makes memory misuse impossible, so there is no need to hide anything. The huge mass of kernel-mode code in Linux the BSDs, and NT is a major liability. Of course all the Posixy browser desktop stuff where performance doesn't matter will run under emulation.
