@CodingItWrong Prolly not. Maybe a Fiwix port though. https://www.fiwix.org/
Or some sort of #Minix-inspired rewrite

Andrew Tanenbaum opened a comp.os.minix thread in January 1992 titled 'LINUX is obsolete' and told 22-year-old Linus Torvalds the design earned no high grade. Google engineer Ronald Minnich cracked open an Intel chip in 2017 and found Tanenbaum's teaching OS, MINIX, running at ring minus three, beneath the system the owner chose. He gave the failing grade in public. His code shipped in more machines than the student's, and he never knew.

Lilbits: Punkt MC03 Google-free Android phone now shipping, AYANEO Pocket Micro 2 goes up for pre-order (again)
Earlier this year, Punkt introduced a new smartphone with a privacy-focused, Google-free, Android-based operating system called AphyOS. Now it’s shipping.
And last month, AYANEO launched a pocket-sized handheld game console… which sold out almost immediately, apparently because the company only made about 100. Now they’re making… some more. At least enough for two more batches of […]

¿Qué fue de MINIX, el rival de Linux? 🐡 El giro es de película de espías.
Como proyecto libre murió en 2018. Sin embargo, ¡hoy es uno de los SO más usados del mundo! En 2017 se descubrió que Intel usa una versión cerrada de MINIX 3 en el corazón de casi todos sus procesadores (en el Intel Management Engine) para gestionar el chip a bajo nivel.
No triunfó en tu escritorio, pero vive oculto en tu CPU. 💻🤫#Minix #Intel #SistemasOperativos #HistoriaTech #Linux #Tech

A Linus Torvalds, creador de Linux. NO le gustaban los microkernels como MINIX. 🐧🆚🐡
Andrew Tanenbaum (creador de MINIX) defendía que los microkernels eran el futuro por seguridad. Linus, en cambio, priorizó el rendimiento y diseñó Linux como un kernel monolítico. Eso desató el famoso debate de 1992. ¡El tiempo le dio la razón a Linus en adopción!

MINIX introduces a budget mini PC with Intel Wildcat Lake inside
The MINIX N304-AI is a compact desktop computer with 16GB of LPDDR5x-6400 onboard memory, a 512GB PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe SSD, support for up to three displays, and dual Gigabit Ethernet ports.
MINIX hasn’t announced how much the new system will cost or when you’ll be able to buy one, but since it’s powered by an Intel Core 3 N304 processor based on Wildcat Lake architecture, it’s safe to say that […]

Just for fun: как скучающий финский студент дважды перевернул IT-индустрию
Представьте, что завтра из нашего мира исчезнут все проекты Линуса Торвальдса. Ваш смартфон на Android моментально превратится в кирпич, интернет ляжет, а вся командная разработка ПО намертво встанет без Git. Удивительно, но вся современная цифровая инфраструктура держится на решениях, которые были придуманы одним человеком не ради миллиардов или славы, а просто из любопытства. В этой статье вспоминаем путь главного интроверта IT: от попыток починить старый Commodore до создания ядра Linux, победы над Microsoft и революции в Open Source.

Tyson Liddell at #minix mail list posted that have recently been exploring MINIX 1.1 and put together a dev environment containing the MINIX source code and a vendored-in 8086/8088 cross-compiler (dev86/Bruce's C Compiler). Available at https://codeberg.org/tlid/minix

Hello everyone, I made some updates to ManpageViewer, fixed some bugs, implemented interface improvements, now it's easier to read the manpages, and the search system has also been improved. As you can see, I also adopted another name. I also expanded the scope, with the creation of "Custom Manpages," I can add the manpages of a specific software.

@kkarhan @f4grx @projectanchorage Idea! Use the #Minix kernel for Echium.
It's old but still modern, not updated since 2018 (according to master branch of Minix on GitHub), doesn't have AI slop, looks fun to hack on, it's BSD-like and a descendant of #UNIX. It's perfect because it compiles. We also continue Minix!
Might copy the src to the Echium #Codeberg repo, push, modify, strip and get others on. I'm open to peeps asking to join too given they're against genAI.

IMHO #linux bisa seperti saat ini bukan karena diawali ingin menjadi sesuatu yang ideal tetapi justru karena pragmatisme.
Pd saat itu desain #microkernel #minix yg tdk monolithic dianggap sebagai mimpi indah idealisme sebuah #kernel. Tetapi Torvalds dan yang lain melihat banyak hal sangat ribet untuk diimpelmentasikan menggunakan desain microkernel, sehingga mereka memilih pragmatis.
Hingga lahir dan terus berkembanglah linux yang tidak ideal tapi bisa berevolusi menjadi seperti sekarang.

se (screen-editor) – a screen oriented version of the classic UNIX text editor ed. It’s similar to vi as both are modal editors with curses interfaces. However, it differs from vi in that it has the same command syntax as ed. https://archiveapp.org/se/ #texteditor #linux #bsd #haiku #minix #solarisd #unix

Modula-2, UCSD P-System, and the birth of Scala
I stumbled across this tidbit from Hacker News.
I never liked that #Borland stuffs. And used to program in #Pascal in #UCSD P-system (my alma mater). When I got to the US Department of Defense they wanted me for my #C and #COBOL skills and then they sent me to an Air Force School where I studied Modula-2 and Ada.
I did a lot of work in Modula-2, which doesn't exist anymore. Modula-3 does, but in the meantime Scala was in the works. #Ada is still actually a thing. We didn't want clever, like those one liner #Perl challenges that folks use to put in their signature lines to demonstrate how clever they thought they were through obfuscation.
Clever is bad. Clever opens up a whole universe of unexpected behavior and potential vulnerabilities. Maybe that's why #Rust became so organically popular - because it's safe by design and nowadays it's included in the Linux kernel more and more.
When you're designing software for missle guidance systems you most certainly do not want clever. The job is simple and ambiguity is potentially catastrophic in warfare.
Anyway, I really enjoyed this interview, I can identify with the #Timex_Sinclair - my dad bought me one and that membrane keyboard was horrendous, but I was persistent and eventually I was writing code in cutting edge languages on mainframes and #Vaxen.
Many of the stories about how one thing or another came about were through frustrations; like the impetus for #Linus the #Linux kernel coz #MINIX just didn't cut it, and who wants to trodge through snow drifts in #Helsinki to the computer lab when you can be warm and cozy, drinking beers in your dorm room?
This story is kinda like that too, which I can really appreciate, even though I've never played with #Scala.
I hope you enjoy it too.
