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.

Desktop Application Development in 2023
There are ways to bundle Python with your application using something like py2exe
- Unpopular Opinion
- I have a few questions

How can I learn more about how to share the programs I've written with other people?
Then you can turn the python program to an actual executable, a normal .exe file that user just launches and uses. If you chose to use this way, look into PyInstaller or py2exe. The executables will be obviously bigger, I think at least PyInstaller pretty much just packages Python and your script into .exe to make it work, so every program would be quite big (as each program has its own Python packaged). I also heard the process of turning the scripts to .exe is sometimes a bit problematic if you use some fancy imports and you also might run into problems with architecture.

Should you write malware in C# or C++?
*fyi, you can use a tool like py2exe or PyInstaller to convert Python scripts into a Windows Executable.
- Am I crazy to use python for the simple-ish core game, expose data via Flask, UI via React, and Electron to make the executable??
- Blöde Frage, kann jedes Programm jeder Programmiersprache in eine exe gewandelt werden die dann auch auf jedem computer läuft?
