Fantastic words of encouragement! It's always better to do nothing and criticize from the sidelines, right?

My first thought when I looked at this project was the words of one Linus Torvalds more than 30 years ago (and yes, I remember that time) — "I'm doing a (free) operating system (just a hobby, won't be big and professional like gnu)".

I am so happy to see people take on things like that!

Reading the introduction in the post makes it pretty clear why it was created...

> I like to dig into complexity, and I like to learn by doing. On top of that, I spend a lot of time on the computer. Wouldn’t it be cool if I had a system that I would know from A to Z and that I could customise as much as I wanted to fit my expectations?

95% will be good enough if it offers extra features that people want.

Linux did not have full compatibility before it took off. And I don't think the bar is THAT much higher today for a new competitor, where I can swap the kernel in.

If anything it may encourage us to use a few less Linuxisms in our code.

The point is someone decided to write it and here it is.
