  • xv6-riscv-rust

  • ZealOS

    The Zeal Operating System is a modernized fork of the 64-bit Temple Operating System, TempleOS.

  • The original is forever frozen in time as a memorial to Terry’s genius, but there is an (at least somewhat) actively maintained fork, which has added features of which Terry himself would not have approved - https://github.com/Zeal-Operating-System/ZealOS is the main one, which was last updated only a couple of months ago; Minix’s last commit appears to have been in 2018 - https://github.com/Stichting-MINIX-Research-Foundation/minix

    But maybe that’s the answer for MINIX too - maybe one of the people who have authored all those unreviewed PRs might start a community-based fork. If all the activity moves to the fork, there is a chance the originators might officially bless it

    Official MINIX sources - Automatically replicated from gerrit.minix3.org

  • website

    The Haiku website. (Pull requests are accepted; please file issues at https://dev.haiku-os.org). (by haiku)

  • Hmm.. what about Haiku (https://www.haiku-os.org)?

    It's inspired by BeOS. I'm not old enough to use BeOS at its time, but at least from what I read, it's not "yet anoter Unix"
