I personally think we need organizations like FreeDesktop, and I think we need more of them. They're not glory hogs like GNU and they have kept things from going fully chaotic. I'm not saying their design is perfect, but it's "good enough" that it has become the de facto standard for Linux. Although, I still wish someone would create a competitor to Linux and all of the various subsystems that would greatly simplify everything. Anyone who's played with TempleOS might understand that a bit better.

Is it public yet? If so, what is it called? Obviously you can't post links without YT censoring you, but I like tinkering with homebrew OS's.

@dreamcat4 Thanks for the information, I look forward to trying that out soon.

@BrodieRobertson Well, it's not like they're stringent with it, but providing the base as they have and providing reference implementations, a lot of people have followed their general guidance. Not always consistently, but it has kept things pretty well ordered, I think. Yeah, FreeBSD is certainly worth looking at, but it's still largely a lot like UNIX. I definitely want something with a cleaner design. Something that breaks far away from POSIX and doesn't strive to be like Windows. If you know of anything like that but is more complete than a proof of concept, I would love to try it out.

@WildVoltorb I'll look into it, and don't be afraid to suggest more than one.

@gimlam5909 Sounds great already just based on the name. Especially if the kernel is called Kaylee.

@gimlam5909 Ah okay, Serenity isn't a complete system on its own. I tried Haiku for a while last night, it doesn't seem to run so well with a VM, but it looks interesting so far.
