OS2 had a good run for example. It is still alive and well in some
proprietary industrial equipment because it is impervious to hacks as no
one remembers it.

 We also had Amigas and Atari ST's, before it become impractical to
compete with the Wintel juggernaut on the desktop.
 If Micro$oft could push all of those (at least somewhat) established
platforms out of the market, what chance does a newcomer have?
 

But the thing is, again from my perspective, as a user, not a developer
of operating systems, is that what you want - and IBM, Red Hat etc
understand this - is a reliable secure bug free platform on which to
write applications that is easily ported to whatever hardware is available.

 It's almost impossible to come from behind, in these markets.
 

People are still trying and reading Distowatch on a frequent basis I
find this:

2024-09-10 OS Release: Redox OS 0.9.0

Redox OS is a UNIX-like, general-purpose, microkernel-based operating system written in Rust. The project's latest release, version 0.9.0, introduces COSMIC desktop applications, a custom web server, improved performance and stability, and the Nano text editor has been ported

Good luck to them. I am too tired to
start over  with a new OS at this point in my
life but young people will try it and maybe it is
as big a winner as Linux in another 20 or 30
years..
bliss - who hopes that she does not suffer that long.
