I remember seeing this a while ago when I was on an OS kick, I thought it died!

#22Is there a preferred CI pipeline for Genode?

Well op has 3x more karma then you which means he's 3x more likely to understand the hn vibe then you. Secondly, the famous joke says that there are 2 hard problems in computer science - cache invalidation and naming things, so names of the computer projects are legitimate topic.
I rarely comment hence the low karma, which isn’t a reliable indicator anyway (plus this is not Reddit). And besides, this is my fourth or fifth account. Naming comments are too frequently used to derail conversations here, particularly threads on FOSS projects. These threads never lead to a productive conversation and I fail to see any purpose other than trolling or “joking around” (if you can even call it that).
Then just downvote/flag and move on. Commenting just to complain furthers the derailment, here were are 4 layers in...
imo there's nothing wrong with discussing project names.

#24Has "genode" any meaning in English, or is it just an artistic blend of "generic" and "node" or similar? I'm asking because my brain read "Genocide OS" at the first pass, which seems a bit unfortunate.
I too read it as genocide, the closest real english word, and assumed it was some catty editorial headline about Israeli army tech. But no, it was named before that word's recent spike in news popularity. It's from Germany so you'd have to consider it in the German language. There's no name explanation given, but -de is their country code, and geno- is from greek.

Curious if you're a native English speaker - the "-cide" suffix has a general root meaning of "to kill", which means that words ending in it generally have the opposite connotation to the word with the suffix. E.g. "Eco" has positive connotations whereas "ecocide" has negative ones. Similarly, here "geno" would never naturally seem to have negative connotations without the suffix. Just my 2c
They just read it too fast and it's the closest real word geno(ci)de

#26getting a machine running to try out sculpt/genome has been in my todo list forever.

Frankly I’d be happy to see a formal rule against it, or at least a community norm, but only frequent complaint is likely to drive things in that direction.
I see these comments almost daily, it’s a true plague. And never once have I seen it lead to an actual real-world change. Name-related comments most often serve as a sort of drive-by “dunking” for indirectly hating on projects. Do we really need a hundredth person commenting on a thread about Mastodon that there is also a band with the same name? What does that add to the conversation?
I recognize that I’m tilting at windmills, but someone has to speak up about it.

#28> The framework aligns the construction principles of L4 with Unix philosophy. In line with Unix philosophy, Genode is a collection of small building blocks, out of which sophisticated systems can be composed. But unlike Unix, those building blocks include not only applications but also all classical OS functionalities including kernels, device drivers, file systems, and protocol stacks. That's very interesting, but…
Genode developer here. Surprised seeing the project at HN, I'm very happy about the interest. My colleagues and me are indeed using the system on a daily basis. Personally, I'm running it on an Intel-based Gen12 Framework laptop and on an i.MX8-based MNT-Reform laptop. Earlier this year, I recorded a casual walk-through of the Genode-based Sculpt OS. https://genodians.org/nfeske/2025-01-30-sculpt-os-walkthroug...
Do you have any articles about setting it up/running it on your Framework? Sounds really neat

Hey there. Came across this a while ago, but glad to see it alive & kicking. Two questions...
1. Is there going to be a disk image/installer for 25.08, or is that supposed to be self-compiled?
2. Does the OS download missing components on its own or something? The 25.04 image on the website is only 30+ MB.
Thanks!

I'm always reading it as "geode", "genocide" is inserting quite a few letters there.
