            I unironically want to see this happen, mostly because it would be an incredible feat. Not only because of the language and compiler restrictions, but the only way that you could take a break would be to play a few games that aren’t very fleshed out or “Listen to God.”

      I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Ponyos, is in fact, GNU/Ponyos, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Ponyos. Ponyos is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

      Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, that version of GNU which quite nobody uses today is called Ponyos, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

      There really is a Ponyos, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Ponyos is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Ponyos is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Ponyos added, or GNU/Ponyos.

    I think BSD should not be excluded from this chart.

    It’s not all Linux. It’s all penguins (and maybe Linux too).

    Look, I love the idea of Linux but unless you have your head in the sand it’s obvious that Linux takes a good deal of technoliteracy to use.
