HelloSystem – OS with original Mac philosophy with a modern architecture
There used to be an alternative runtime for FreeBSD called CloudABI [1], with which native programs could be started in capability mode, but it was discontinued in favour of WASI [2] (server-side Webassembly) — which adopted CloudABI's libc API.

Preventing Log4j with Capabilities
Agreed re: the general idea, but isn't CloudABI in particular superseded somewhat by WASI? Its repo seems to say it is: https://github.com/NuxiNL/cloudabi
(WASI is similarly capability-based, as I understand it!)

So I installed OpenBSD 7.0 on my iMac G3 and well no desktop environment will fully install because of missing packages… even compiling CDE was a no go because KSH93 is broken on macppc. At least it’s a step in the right direction as far as getting anything graphical working.
You could try giving https://github.com/morgant/mlvwm a try to compile, also extra mac flare :D
- Did everyone try mlvwm?

Running MLVWM (Mac System 7, OS8/9 style window manager) on Ubuntu via WSL and vsxsrv
