Did I just wake up from a coma? QNX desktop? Wayland XFCE? What is going on here

Seems like QNX was hiding in plain sight as a car os and a mission critical os for other devices.

  • There are tons of proprietary RTOS/microkernel products on the market. It's not so much hiding as it is crowded-out.

    • And none of them can hold a candle to QnX. I've used a whole raft of them and QnX stands heads and shoulders above the competition. The consistency of the implementation is extremely impressive.

  • I think the market is moving to "mixed criticality" so you can use Linux for your entertainment system but then also use a proper RTOS for the car stuff all in the same SoC.
