Nice to see managarm mentioned! managarm does have vastly different goals though, as in running Linux software unmodified (i.e. compiled from source, not necessarily binary compatible due to ABI differences) on a fully async microkernel, including desktop apps a user might find useful for general-purpose stuff. Currently, we run weston (the wayland reference compositor) and have support for Xwayland and some graphical applications (as both Qt and GTK are ported). However, there's still a large part of Linux' API surface to be covered, so support will only improve with time.

Does managarm run on raspberry pis?
We’re working on support for raspberry pi 4 at this moment, and on emulated AArch64 targets we can boot into Weston, but our primary platform is x86_64.
Has any work been done for RV64GC?
