  SerenityOS is great too. But it doesn’t run on real hardware yet I think?

    Apparently it worked on specific hardware configurations a couple years ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sT-ME3PsKtc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sT-ME3PsKtc In terms of general minimal-viable support, that's probably hit-and-miss (perhaps around where Linux distros were at in the early 90s - probably worked, except for everywhere it didn't), particularly with the increasing ossification and variability of BIOS/legacy emulation in current-era systems.

I remember one called SkyOS as well - it was really far along, probably killed by the lack of driver support. Unfortunately it's site seems to no longer exist. Here's the latest archive of it I could find: https://web.archive.org/web/20171014135312/http://www.skyos.org/ https://web.archive.org/web/20171014135312/http://www.skyos.... Also it's wiki page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SkyOS https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SkyOS

Here is the LinkedIn page of the main developer (Robert Szeleney) of SkyOS: https://www.linkedin.com/in/robert-szeleney-26902738/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/robert-szeleney-26902738/ In 2009, he founded Djinnworks: https://djinnworks.at/ https://djinnworks.at/ You can find Robert Szeleney's email address on https://djinnworks.at/team https://djinnworks.at/team Considering the fact that according to the German wikipedia page (https://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=SkyOS&oldid=215274219 https://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=SkyOS&oldid=21527...), the last version of SkyOS is from 2008, I don't believe that SkyOS was killed because of a lack of driver support, but rather because the main developer simply had to make money. But feel free to ask him directly, you now know how you can.
