#3We'll see if it reaches bare metal some time, instead of relying on QEMU(on Ubuntu).
In theory I'd be tempted to try, in practice not, because of all the back and forth between changing owners in the past, and resulting policies regarding availability.
I'm also very well served by some 'gaming distro', where nothing ever stutters or lags, on almost obsolete hardware, mostly clocked down to 800Mhz, with uptimes of up to 150 days. More isn't really useful anyways, because of updates.
But hey, Wayland! On QNX! With XFCE on top of that! Who would have thought?
What about photonic Plasma instead of some Generic ToolKit?

They do list "A native Desktop image on Raspberry Pi" under What's Next, so hopefully soon:)

Yeah, that gives me pause too. There was some noise earlier about open sourcing it; I do wish they'd actually do that.

#6Bring back Photon. It was dang near perfect.

Photon was what I was hoping for before I clicked the link. One of my favourite GUIs, closely tied with CDE.
Photon or not, I hated the period where they sort of moved to canned BSP deployment only, where in 6.5 I could just develop on a live system. This is nice.

QNX is running on bare metal in a lot of cars.

#9This is a major throwback to the QNX demo disk, which bundled a browser and desktop environment onto a single floppy disk!

It was mind blowing at the time because Linux required at least 4-5 floppies to set up a text-only base system while QNX ran live from just a single 1.44MB.
