Surprised I’ve never heard of this. An OS still maintained by a single developer. It sounds like it’s missing a ton of modern features but is still a beautiful labor of love. https://visopsys.org/about/

Cool project. But that download graphic just screams spam, unfortunately. (I had to hover over it to make sure it wouldn't take me off the site.)

Port it to ARM == Worldwide success.

Underpowered cheap *Pi boards (the ones often left rotting in a drawer after being swapped with newer ones) are just asking for it to build kiosks and other low footprint embedded appliances.

The Broadcom hardware on the RPi is far worse documented than typical PC hardware.

ARM is an immense set of different boards only unified by most parts of the core of the instruction set (which extensions of the ARM instruction sets are supported, depends on the chip).

What niche OS is good for low power microservers? No GUI required, but good networking.

I wish it were not monolithic but I understand why it is.
