i happen to have heard of a new (to me) OS that appears conceptually similar to tiny core diy philosophy ( tc is a toolkit OS / Genode OS Framework)
and after reading some examples ruining tc within genode !!

https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Genode-Sculpt-OS-Easy-Image
and
http://xcodevn.github.io/genode/ #Tinycore run on Genode
Has any other forum members heard of or used this `Genode OS Framework project` ?
... after watching some presentations on the architectural design / goals of the project
Im interested to learn more about Genode and related projects progression !

thanks for sharing the info!
my personal interest is in minimal resources request + sand_boxed appls. the only ways I know about are to run linux64 (for drivers) and [if in neeed]:
- chroot in linux32; plus eventualy wine (for windows appls)
- run a VM (virtual machine)
- use software protection, like firejail.
After your read more about this "Genode", maybe you kindly share the KEY points/advantaje to use it versus its competitors.

oh, the book has 523 pages :-\

(https://genode.org/documentation/genode-foundations-20-05.pdfMaybe)Maybe I will read part of it, but without a BEFORE-HAND focus-goal.. see you next year (to share my opinions).

hi nick65go
no problem!
..
tbh at this point idk ,
just saw it mentioned in some feed while scrolling
- & it sounds interesting
presumably the question is better directed at the genode-list ,
Seeking help
The best way to get assistance while exploring Genode is to consult
the mailing list, which is the primary communication medium of regular users and
developers alike. Please feel welcome to join in!

thanks for the book link , i did see it was available but have a copy now! & just found the above link while scanning through it , that and this !..
Recommended development environment
Genode is regularly used and devel-oped on GNU/Linux.
It is recommended to use the latest long-term support (LTS) version of Ubuntu.
Make sure that your installation satisfies the following require-ments:
• GNU Make version 3.81 (or newer) needed by the build system,
• libSDL-dev needed to run system scenarios directly on Linux,
• tclsh and expect needed by test-automation and work-flow tools,
• xmllint for validating configurations,
• qemu , xorriso , sgdisk , and e2tools needed for running system scenarios on non-Linux platforms via the Qemu emulator.
For using the entire collection of ported 3rd-party software, the following packages
should be installed additionally:
byacc , autoconf2.64 , autogen , bison , flex , g++ , git , gperf , libxml2-utils , subversion , and xsltproc
so perhaps d-core could be used to create such an environment suitable for genode development!

I spent plenty of time reading (and enjoyed!) on Wikipedia, about MINIX (1/2/3). microkernels, monolithic kernels, genode audit/builder concepts.
I just opened a can of worms: so much info about alternative CPU types, security, various Unix OS flavors.
It could take me months just to read this sort of material, without doing something else (like walking, smell flowers, listen to music/birds, gain money :P )
I would prefer a slower and secure microkernel, instead of a faster and compromised monolithic kernel. Anyway today CPUs are a lot faster than my normal needs.
I am a user, not a developer (to audit the appl., the system) and I prefer to just use appl. ready made. My time is (relatively) limited, and I need to chose wisely how to invest it.
