There is a certain customary sentence to be put in new os kernels announcements and your announcement lacks this sentence.

You surely mean that it's a hobby project and probably won't be big and professional like GNU?

I can't see anyone seriously suggesting to management that they run Banan-OS. Probably the same self-inflicted handicap of CockroachDB.

[coldpie]

Agreed. We run a respectable Freax shop around here.

[GTP]

It's because we learnt the lesson and know that management wouldn't run it anyway. Otherwise they would go bananas.

oh fun, a guessing game :|

"just a hobby, won't be big and professional like gnu" which is a quote from Linus's Linux announcement on Usenet in 1991.[1] He didn't know it was going to be big at the time, making it an ironic statement after the fact, and that could also be the case for any new OS from scratch such as this one.

There was a need for linux, and that's why it took off. The Unix wars, the provenance of the 4.3 BSD code, the cred of running a Unix (or Unix-alike).

Not to trash this guy's project, but there's no similar perfect storm going on right now.

I don't think it was a perfect storm going on , but rather since today Linux is popular & strong , you are retracing it to it having a perfect storm and nothing can come close to it .

That being said , I still think that this wouldn't reach mass adoption "just for being an alternative to linux" and that this has to have a specific purpose

For example serenity os has a really cool old - ui and some people think its a fun os in general , out of which came the ladybird project.

Redox os is trying to write it in rust , something which can have some practical meaning in my opinion
