First off: Thanks for putting an intro to what Managarm is right up front.

Second: This is amazing! Unless I'm missing something, this is a microkernel OS that's already got working wayland, normal unixy stuff (GNU coreutils, filesystem stuff), some sort of Linux compat (!), and good enough hardware support to actually start using for light useful work. How have I never heard of this?

It is also written in C++. (Its libc is also written in C++.) C++ hate aside, it is certain that C++ is a better language than C for writing kernels and system libraries. A great choice.

Wow, somebody else knows about Managarm! It was an awesome discovery, for sure.
