CachyOS
Blazingly Fast & Customizable Linux distribution
CachyOS - Arch Linux Based Distribution With Heavy Optimizations & Multi-Architectures For Ultimate Desktop Experience Filesystems: - btrfs - zfs - ext4 - xfs - f2fs Our installer will auto detect which micro architecture your machine got, if x86-64-v3 or x86-64-v4 is detected it will automatically use the optimized packages, which is around a 10 % performance improvement. Desktop Environments: - KDE - CuteFish - i3 - Gnome - Openbox - Wayfire - Xfce - LXQT - bspwm All packages are compiled with Full LTO and other optimization flags. Depending on the march your cpu have it is compiled against x86-64, x86-64-v3 or x86-64-v4. For the Desktop Environment we provide basic theming. In CachyOS-Hello can be also security related packages enabled, like: DNScrypt-proxy Firejail apparmor Security and Performance! https://discord.gg/qJqj94uFwE https://t.me/+zCzPX4cAFjk1MTY -

ravynOS
A BSD-based OS project that aims to provide an experience with MacOS
We love macOS, but we’re not a fan of the ever-closing hardware and ecosystem. So we are creating ravynOS, an OS aimed to provide the finesse of macOS with the freedom of FreeBSD. This is a developer preview image that’s mainly intended for helping build the system. We recommend running in a virtual machine, although it should work on any hardware supported by FreeBSD-CURRENT (14.0) with at least 2GB (8GB recommended) RAM. PLEASE NOTE: On 2022-02-14, we decided to abandon the current path of using X11/KDE desktop components and write from scratch a new UI that will align better with our goals. This stepping back will slow the project but ultimately should result in a better outcome. We intend to bring many of the features you’ve come to love from macOS to ravynOS like clean design, global menus, and drag-and-drop installs. All of your FreeBSD ports and apps, Linux apps, and even trivial Darwin & macOS binaries can now run on ravynOS. And we’re actively working on improving it! -

QP Real-Time Event Frameworks & Tools
Real-Time Event Frameworks based on active objects & state machines
QP real-time event frameworks (RTEFs) provide lightweight, modern, event-driven architecture based on asynchronous Active Objects (Actors) and Hierarchical State Machines. The matching QM model-based design tool and other host-based tools complement the QP frameworks by supporting graphical modeling, code generation, software tracing, and unit testing for event-driven embedded software. Visit https://www.state-machine.com for more information. The QP RTEFs can run on bare-metal microcontrollers, replacing a traditional RTOS. The frameworks contain a selection of built-in real-time kernels (RTOS kernels), such as the cooperative QV kernel, the preemptive non-blocking QK kernel, and the unique preemptive, dual-mode (blocking/non-blocking) QXK kernel. Native QP ports and ready-to-use examples are provided for ARM Cortex-M (M0/M0+/M3/M4/M7/M33/...) as well as other CPUs. The QP RTEFs can also work with many traditional RTOSes and General-Purpose OSes, such as Linux and Windows. -
