    SpecOS

    A multi-threaded-style OS for the Spectrum +3

    A multi-threaded-style OS for the Spectrum +3. Based on a kernel/userland model, it decouples the kernel implementation from the run-time system call mechanism, and provides for some POSIX-style functions. A file descriptors layer provides abstraction for easy file redirection. Userland processes are relocatable, and have no knowledge of the kernel or memory layout, leaving the flexibility to change the memory paging model without requiring a recompile of all userland programs.

    Chromium OS Universal Chroot Environment (EOL)

    crouton is an open-source set of scripts designed to enable Linux distributions to run alongside Chrome OS on Chromebooks by using a chroot environment that shares the same Linux kernel as the host system. Instead of dual-booting or virtualization, the project installs a Linux system inside a chroot, allowing users to switch quickly between Chrome OS and a full Linux desktop while maintaining performance and compatibility. This approach allows developers, system administrators, and power users to access traditional Linux tools and desktop environments on hardware originally intended to run only Chrome OS.
