I am always getting very excited when I see a new "OS" announcement. But disappointment sets in when I then learn that it is either a Linux kernel with a new package manager or a (slightly) patched Linux kernel.

It would be nice to distinguish in the title between such efforts and true new OSes like Haiku, Serenity.

Haiku is a single user system and Serenity is really new.

I would say that something like seL4 muslc and Gnu/BSD/Toybox user-land would make a good base for security to start with...bit like Genode

The first question that immediately comes up is: has this project received any independent third-party security audits? Has it been otherwise peer reviewed by the security community?

Probably not because that tends to cost tons of money, something open source just doesn't have access to.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, I'd love to know.
