Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Dec RSX-11M OS-Like for the Z280 CPU
Alan Cox has a "Fuzix" repo, that puts together Uzix variants for the Z80.

Unix on 6800?
Fuzix does appear to have CPU support for 6800 and is probably your best starting location. Although based on what I've seen of the ET-3400 you could be in for quite the uphill struggle.

Brooks, Wirth and Go
Software complexity also helps to establish or maintain the predominance of large corporations on the market. In contrast, a simple software system can be reimplemented by a small team or even a single person, so there is more competition. This is not only demonstrated by Wirth's systems, but also by several 7th edition Unix clones of the 80's [1-4] as well as current ones [5] and also reimplementations of the classic MacOS [6].
Back in the 1980s, operating systems and compilers were often seen as the most complex pieces of software. Nowadays, web browsers include (and reimplement) large parts of an OS and compiler and are probably even more complex than a current OS such as Linux or a current compiler such as clang/LLVM. Only rich (or well funded) companies such as Google, Apple and the Mozilla foundation can afford to build a browser today that can be used to access current web pages.
So a central question is if we can turn back times and make software more simple again. Maybe this ship has already sailed - but it can't hurt to try. From experience with my students, it is extremely satisfying for them to build a complete system from scratch instead of mostly copying and pasting library calls or StackOverflow code snippets. Thus, I try to enable my students to experience this sense of achievement. They will probably never get the chance to do something similar in their later career in industry.

Are there any jobs out there in C++ programming for someone who is primarily a hardware engineer? HFT or any other industry?
I've worked in LK (Little Kernel), which is the basis of the Android and WebOS boot loaders, but is also a reasonable stand-alone operating system, ThreadX, which is a very lightweight RTOS, and one or two others. These were all written in C, but it was also quite a few years ago, so I suspect a good chunk of the industry has moved to C++.

Is “make” or “makefile” like a OS?
You might also want to look into LK ("little kernel"). It's the basis for both the Android and WebOS bootloaders, which I've also worked on. It has multi-threading and I/O but doesn't support user processes. Might be good for embedded systems.
