  • What can you do and what is the purpose of Minix in 2022?

    I dont think Minix is maintained anymore, the last git commit on https:// git.minix3.org/index.cgi?p=minix.git;a=summary was in 2018. Do some people still use Minix instead of Linux, and what do you do with it?

    There's some detail on the current state of development (or lack
    thereof) in the mailing list:
    https://groups.google.com/g/minix3/c/qUdPZ0ansVw

    From 2020:

    I don't. Though for some reason I've recently become interested in
    trying out Minix3 sometime, even though I'm not convinced that I
    could do much with it.
