This is a general summary of what OSes are being developed on DisNCord.
Open Computing Kit (OCK)
A joint project between Elisia, Sadmac356, Griffin, Europa, and others, Open Computing Kit is an operating system that aims to be as GNU-independent as possible, including a kernel written in Rust and its own set of coreutils. It is presently in the very early stages of active development.
SeshOS
Written by Mineman, SeshOS is one of the more esoteric OSes on DisNCord, it has the starts of a GUI and shell in the kernel, but no memory management.
SeshOS has support for one filesystem: tar ramfs.
The repository for the software is located at https://github.com/mine-man3000/SeshOS.
Pics Of Bread Awful scRipting Interpreter System for Neat Architectures (POBARISNA)
Written by Krabs, POBARISNA is an operating system with a JavaScript-based microkernel design, that currently only runs on PowerPC macs. There are prospective plans for ports to other "Neat Architectures" (which Krabs defines as "not a PC/BIOS/UEFI x86 system"), such as SPARC variants and ARM.
The project can be found on GitLab
picotalk
Written by Waterpear, picotalk is an operating system written in embedded Smalltalk.
Rotom OS
Written by SED, Rotom OS is an operating system with little information to glean from anything except for its code and a few images. It attempts to be as simple as possible, with ring 3 not being implemented.
styx
Written by Sirocyl and others, styx is an operating system with many ideas, some of which will be listed here:
- Applications will be double-click to run, much like Windows or macOS.
- Libraries should live with their application in packaging, similar to Windows.
- Installation will be done through drag-and-drop, taken from macOS.
- The system will be as (trans)portable as possible, similar to Classic macOS.
- The word "styx" is not an acronym, nor will the operating system's governing body ever be comprised of one member.
- The system will be consent-first, something that flies in the face of traditional operating systems like Windows and macOS.
There are many more than this here in their Discord server, but there are too many to list here effectively.
