How to write an os
Sometimes, copying from existing operating systems (especially pedagogical ones) is a good places to start: Nachos, Minix (esp paired with Tanenbaum's OS book), Xv6, or ToyOS might be good reference material for you. Source: almost 2 years ago

Nanos – A Unikernel
I am a bit confused, there are three sites: * https://nanos.org/ * https://nanovms.com/ * https://ops.city/ And I am not sure what "thing" I am using. Is there some disambiguation? I know is OPS is the orchestration CLI, but I am confused at the difference between Nanos and NanoVMs. What should I call the section of my README that deals with this tech? Currently gone with Nanos/OPS but I am confused. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago
Nanos – A Unikernel
Forgot to mention this but https://nanos.org is also related with https://nanovms.com (to deploy unikernels) and ops.city (which handles the package distributions), so it's like a whole ecosystem. I wonder why Alpine linux won over this though? - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago
Kolibri OS: fits on a floppy disk, programmed using interrupts
I work with https://nanos.org && https://ops.city - we can run thousands of these on commodity hardware. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago
Mirage – A programming framework for building type-safe, modular systems
Unik was just a build tool that utilized other projects like Rump, Mirage, IncludeOS, etc. It's now dead since Solo pivoted a very long time ago to service mesh/api gateways. The GoRump port they use was from us and then we realized we needed to code our own from the ground up for many reasons so we wrote https://nanos.org (runs as a go unikernel in GCP). - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago
Build Your Own Docker with Linux Namespaces, Cgroups, and Chroot
Https://nanos.org/ Seems to be a living concept still, just not in the mainstream. - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago
