If I were capable, which I am not, then there are other things I would focus my efforts on which I find much more interesting than 1970s monolithic Unix-type OSes. In that family of designs, I personally find Plan 9 and Inferno _far_ more interesting, for instance. I did a talk on that theme at FOSDEM in Brussels in February: https://fosdem.org/2024/schedule/event/fosdem-2024-3095-one-way-forward-finding-a-path-to-what-comes-after-unix/ I turned it into some articles: https://www.theregister.com/Tag/One%20Way%20Forward/ But I am more intrigued by the idea of getting away completely from the concepts of "filesystems" and "drives", which I regard as legacy technology -- 20th century stuff. That was the theme of my previous talk, which became the "starting over" article above. https://archive.fosdem.org/2021/schedule/event/new_type_of_computer/ -- Liam Proven ~ Profile: https://about.me/liamproven Email: lpro...@cix.co.uk ~ gMail/gTalk/FB: lpro...@gmail.com Twitter/LinkedIn: lproven ~ Skype: liamproven IoM: (+44) 7624 277612: UK: (+44) 7939-087884 Czech [+ WhatsApp/Telegram/Signal]: (+420) 702-829-053
