There are more operating systems than just Linux. Here's a list of a few that are under active development.

Includes:

  • Vinix OS (for Apple silicon)
  • Asterina NixOS
  • FreeBSD
  • GhostBSD
  • Haiku OS
  • React OS

Redox OS, Haiku, and NetBSD are the major alternatives that are taking a stand against AI contributions. If the Linux kernel isn't forked at some point, I could see those alternatives getting more attention in the future.

    This makes me wonder whether Linux will ever really die, or at least stop being the de facto kernel for serious people. Perhaps HURD will previal in the very end.

    In all seriousness, I wonder what's next, if there's a next. Probably just something UNIX-like again. I would like to see a microkernel, though.
