| I'm sorry but the landing page at fuzix.org (the top page nonetheless) is terrible as it does not even try to explain what FUZIX even IS. I went to the GitHub project page, which contains some more details, but it still doesn't answer the question and only talks about how FUZIX differs from UZI. To be honest, I still have no idea what I'm looking at. |

| >it does not even try to explain what FUZIX even IS Fuzix is a very simple UNIX clone (and a for of UZI) started by Alan Cox, an ex-Linux kernel developer) as his retirement project. It aims to run on old CPUs like Z80 and on microcontrollers. I found it when searching what OS can I run on the $4 Raspberry Pi Pico. |

| The GitHub repo also seems to be archived. |

| Take a guess. The first two words of the web page is "Fuzix" and "OS", it can't be that hard. |

| ▲ | kasumispencer2 2 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | "Munitions"? "Intelligent distribution panel"? Look, the UNIX part might not be obvious at all, but if you somehow didn't have enough of a rough idea after seeing that many retro CPUs and systems listed below, that might say more about you than the author. | | |

| ▲ | kasumispencer2 2 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | You only say that because you have skill issues. It says "Fuzix OS" so it's probably an OS. It lists platforms so it's an OS that runs on these platforms. How is this hard? | | |
| ▲ | swiftcoder 2 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | > It lists platforms so it's an OS that runs on these platforms That doesn't tell me what it is in a concrete sense. Must be hundreds of OS that run on similar hardware - what makes this one different? | | |
| ▲ | kasumispencer2 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | Ah, but at least you do know it's an OS, yes? | | |
| ▲ | swiftcoder 32 minutes ago | parent [-] | | That wasn't ever in doubt. That's also not the relevant piece of information - people looking for a summary want to know why the thing is worth paying spending time on, not random attributes | | |
| ▲ | kasumispencer2 22 minutes ago | parent [-] | | You do realize when you say that you do assume they know it's an OS and by that you effectively have to regress into using the same level of argument as me just like how I assume they don't know it's an OS, right? |
