Hello tildes.net ~comp. BoredOS is a very cool from scratch x86_64 OS developed not by me but by chris (boreddevnl) and 15 other great committers and contributors!
BoredOS has:
Networking
Its own compositor (NOVA)
Native toolchain (Tiny c compiler, Lua, and its own sdk)
Neat :) I might try spinning it up in a VM and play around with it. Always nice to see people taking on projects like this. I also quite like their AI policy which feels fairly grounded in reality...

This wouldn't be no. It works similar-ish as it's a UNIX-like but is written from scratch although using things like lwext4, lwIP inside of the kernel so it isn't "entirely from scratch". I have...

I have started work on BoredOS (not directly as it was an older project) about 3,5 years ago or so and in the last 6 months have been getting a lot of contributors and a large community around it and it is rapidly growing.
It will never be a Linux replacement, but that's not it's intention. it's meant to be educative and fun for anyone involved :D

Welcome :)

Completely different, this seems to be written entirely from scratch. It's under a software license that's incompatible with Linux's license, as well (GPLv3 vs v2).

I also quite like their AI policy which feels fairly grounded in reality while still taking a clear stance.
Are you using day-to-day? What machine do you run it on and what do you do with it?
No, I don't use BoredOS on a day to day I have used it in a vm. I do know that some people have run it on bare metal x86_64 laptops.
I love it. One of the core reasons why I started my forum side project. It's fun. Will be following.
PS: Welcome to Tildes, Chris @boreddevnl !
Forgive my ignorant question. Would this be considered Linux or something completely different?
This wouldn't be no. It works similar-ish as it's a UNIX-like but is written from scratch although using things like lwext4, lwIP inside of the kernel so it isn't "entirely from scratch".

Appreciate the info, good luck with the project!

Very interesting. Thank you for the information. Something to keep an eye on
