So, why re-use a time sharing, multi-user OS to run your apps? Don't you just need a multi-core capable, POSIX environment? Arguably POSIX doesn't really matte

So, why re-use a time sharing, multi-user OS to run your apps? Don't you just need a multi-core capable, POSIX environment? Arguably POSIX doesn't really matter anymore does it? It's Linux or it doesn't matter in a lot of cases (sadly). Seems like overkill. Sometimes optimal solutions are the available ones, sure, but is no one working on a POSIX exokernel "includeos" like thing?

Probably one or more people are working on that. But Linux and FreeBSD exist and have had a whole lot of testing hours put into them, both per se and to test various libraries and programs using them as their OS, so for now, that’s the safe option.
