Project mention: Operating System Development Tutorials in Rust on the Raspberry Pi | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-02-07
According to this discussion - starting with Bottlerocket 1.13.0 (Mar 2023) new distributions will default to using Cgroups v2 interface for process organization and enforcing resource limits.
Hi! This is Daniel from OxidOS Automotive (stating this for disclaimer purposes).
Yes, our OS is based on TockOS, and our CEO (Alex Radovici) is #7 in the contributors list (https://github.com/tock/tock/graphs/contributors), with other colleagues contributing in the past years.
Project mention: Mirage โ A programming framework for building type-safe, modular systems | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-11-23The rough Rust of this is https://github.com/hermit-os/hermit-rs
Though last I looked it wasn't nearly as mature as MirageOS.
This feels like an ad; the blog post and the README feel like they were written to sound complicated and smart rather than tell the whole truth. Like, "On boot, the kernel has full access to the memory and is allowed to write where it should not (its own code, for example)"? Apart from the fact that ring 0 will always have full control, the MMU also exists. Also, the "48k" (the kernel has 34324 lines of non-comment code, the rest are in the other repos I assume) LOC are obvious when you consider code like src/syscall/mod.rs:717 is present.
To be fair, this is impressive, but its a basic monolithic kernel written for a school project, with the "twist" that it is in Rust and uses Linux syscalls.
For anyone who is interesting in more Rust UNIX-like kernels, Aero (https://github.com/Andy-Python-Programmer/aero) is farther ahead supports running quite a lot of recompiled Linux userspace, including dwm and WebKit.

Project mention: Show HN: An experimental, modern package manager for operating systems | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-11-13
I'm thrilled to share with you a project I've been passionately working on - Hadron, my very own microkernel (https://github.com/fxttr/hadron) I write in rust at the moment. I try to study the L4 microkernel family / architecture with it.
