Ask HN: Any new company-backed operating systems?
2 by c7DJTLrn | 2 comments on Hacker News.
I love low level kernel/OS stuff but loathe the operating systems we have today. Windows, Linux, and BSD are heavily rooted in principles we designed 30+ years ago. These weren't designed with the requirements we have today - like configuration management for servers, live security upgrades, mitigating CPU flaws to name a few. POSIX has served us well but we could probably come up with something much better if we tried. I want to see something radically different. Whether it's for desktops or microcontrollers I don't mind. I'm aware of a few hobby projects such as SerenityOS which are cool but still very 'inside the box' in terms of design and don't really have any backing.
