Windows 13 update log:

Change kernel to Linux.

Build custom OS for astrophysics and space science applications.

Now I'm curious. How would a NasaOS look like? Would it even be good for general use? Would they just focus on optimization? Could they finally beat Hannah Montana linux, the superior OS?

I think it would have a real time kernel running parallel to a linux kernel.
Users could interact with the linux kernel normally and schedule trusted real time tasks on the other. Maybe there is reduced security for added performance on those cores.

In general use it would be a normal stable system with the allure of a performance mode that will break your system if you are not careful.
