I think we're at something like 235 millions cars on the road today with QNX inside. The volume blows my mind. We're also hiding inside lots of healthcare products, industrial control systems, etc.
There's lots of interesting key differences between something based on Linux, for example, and QNX. Worth digging into if you're interested in these things.

- AstroJetson 2y agoThere is a micro kernel version that runs on RP2040 would that work for you?
- WillAdams 2y agoUnfortunately, I want a desktop environment, so probably not.
