Genode OS v26.02

Last month, the free (AGPLv3) microkernel OS (or rather, a generalized framework for building them) Genode delighted us with its release 26.02:

• completion of the transition from XML to custom HID (genode.org);
• moving rap on codeberg from Github;
• Updating Linux DDE (Device Driver Environment) to 6.18 LTS;
• support SDL3;
• support GSS Spec in Goa;
• a scattering of minor changes and improvements.

With this project, you can build an OS using one of the supported microkernels, a set of device drivers (from GNU/Linux), a bunch of native components, and ported (via Goa) software—describing the configuration of how it all interacts with each other using the aforementioned HID (previously, XML was used, which caused quite a stir in the swamps :)

The reference build from the authors is called Sculpt and is in its own release cycle. According to them, there are people on our planet who use it as their primary everyday OS.
