Sculpt OS

I discovered this yesterday and thought I'd share my discovery here for anyone who might find this type of OS interesting. By the way, the disk image file for the latest version of Sculpt OS is a mere 35 MB.

“Sculpt is an open-source general-purpose OS. It combines Genode's microkernel architecture, capability-based security, sandboxed device drivers, and virtual machines in a novel operating system for commodity PC hardware and the PinePhone. Sculpt is used as day-to-day OS by the Genode developers.”

Re: Sculpt OS

I actually have tried this OS and given it a quick spin.  It's quite complicated and seems to have a ways to go if it wants to be anywhere near parity with BSD or GNU systems.  However, I think their devs daily drive the system.  So, with enough knowledge, my guess is one could daily drive this OS now; so they have come a long way.

In my experience, it has a very steep learning curve.  It was an enjoyable/interesting experience however.
