I am always getting very excited when I see a new "OS" announcement. But disappointment sets in when I then learn that it is either a Linux kernel with a new package manager or a (slightly) patched Linux kernel.

It would be nice to distinguish in the title between such efforts and true new OSes like Haiku, Serenity.

Haiku is a single user system and Serenity is really new.

I would say that something like seL4 muslc and Gnu/BSD/Toybox user-land would make a good base for security to start with...bit like Genode
