So, /g/ is assigned to choose a OS to a spaceship control system.
What OS would it be?
>>52118449
One of those Real Time OSs they use on aeroplane systems and nuclear power plants.
>inb4 anything else
>>52118449
Without further investigation I'd say debian because it is stable.
TempleOS
>the OS used by the Enterprise, ofc
>>52118449
it's a space ship, i wouldn't rely on a single OS.
build all systems multi-redundant, use different hardware and software.
>>52118449
Windows 10
>>52118449
install gentoo
TempleOS. For real.
>>52118449
Windows XP
It's a dumb question.
But if you REALLY had to rely on a single one, probably QNX, because it's realtime *nix.
Also because neutrino desktop was goat.

RedStar OS Version 2.0
>>52118449
There wouldnt be an OS.
It'd all be solid state or physical.
Not risking my life because some faggot programmer forgot to patch a memory leak or some shit.

How'd they get the XP version of IE in there? Think they reversed engineered it or something?

Anyone who uses gentoo/ any off-brand linux disto is just trying to justify using a bad OS instead of something decent and streamlined, e.g. OSX
>>52118752

i'm not arguing with you, that's another anon.
purely quoted you for obvious newfag/reddit user vocabulary.
>>52118769
I corrected myself, are you trying to piggyback off my comment? Or are you another neckbeard who thinks he's the top shit because he runs his own linux build and *hacks*?
>>52118805
neither.
i use tripple boot with Void Linux, Arch Linux & Win7
i dislike OSX and apple in general.
still not arguing with you, normalfag.
>>52118750
I don't think that's actually IE6. They probably just copied the UI and slapped it on top of chrome.
>>52118891
It looks like firefox 2.0 or maybe 3

Why?
>>52119453
autism related activities
>>52118840
Guy you replyed to here, you just proved my point, a dipshit running a bad linux setup probably thinking it makes him top dog because he has a multiboot setup.
>>52119453
because i like both distros and wanted to see if i could setup both with a shared /boot and /home partition.
Which in fact works.
I'd go full void, but arch still has the wider availability in packages, and also serves as backup system.
>>52119502
>assuming assumptions.
i like linux.
i like to play gta v which doesn't run on them.
Linux is about freedom of choice and i chose to try a new distro with the backup of the distro i had on for a few years. Simple as that. Or did i brag once about it inmy replies?
>>52118634
That feeling when a QNX employee personally emailed you to deny your license request.

NASA has used Debian and an abstraction layer called OSAL for almost everything since 2013.
If NASA builds a new shuttle, the software needs of it will be handled by Debian Stable.

I would take the Linux kernel, then make my own OS. You know, it happens for supercalculators.

I think you are talking about on the ISS, where the laptops (Thinkpads) are all on Debian.
Sadly not everywhere in the US space industry is on Linux. But on the ISS, yes.

LCARS. What else?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LCARS
>>52125914
>GNU/LCARS isn't a thing
we've got an entire distribution based on Material Design, why the hell isn't there a Star Trek OS
>>52126185
I'd use it.
The only problem I can think of is that LCARS was designed to look high-tech and futuristic, but applying that design aesthetic to modern-day UIs and programs might not work out too well.
>>52126185
It looks like some people have tried to set things up to look LCARS-y. This image is claimed to be a conky configuration on Ubuntu. But I do not see an actual config file. . .
>>52118481
>>52118449
VxWorks or Integrity.
>>52118449
OS X because it never fails and doesn't get viruses.
>>52120525
>implying that gives you anywhere near the performance of an RTOS.
>>52118449
Linux, what else?
It's the obvious choice, the only thing that is high-level enough to be fixed in flight and also the OS kernel with the most considerable testing on all kinds of production servers that can't have outages... from ATM and ticket machines to national billion dollar - ish supercomputers.
>>52126433
That's a good start, but for it to work ideally it'd need a full suite of everyday apps built with a LCARS UI toolkit.
Really, I think it could work nicely as an alternative touch-based UI if fleshed out well. It's certainly more obvious/learnable than some of the insane implicit-ness/undiscoverability you see in touch OSes now.
>>52126450
What did they use on Curiosity? Was it VxWorks?
>>52118449
they use linux in space
>>52126506
Yeah. It would be silly on a desktop with mouse/keyboard only. And that conky is not interactive--you would need probably a new DE essentially, or at least a very heavily altered and configured version of an extant DE.
That would be neat. I would try it.

Yeah, almost anything important designed in the last few years uses VxWorks. NASA, SpaceX use it for almost everything now. I use it for my job as well.
>>52118507
Agreed

Isn't Cortana the closest thing to Cortana?
>>52126721
>>52118507
RTOSs are far more stable than any run-of-the-mill linux distro because they're not designed for "muh features," they're designed to work.
here's a video of people using LCARS nodes in ST:TNG
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pN1Ao6wsYQM
>>52126822
The guys working on the panel effects for TNG did an incredible job. They hold up much better through time and seem more feasible than the control panels in the original Star Trek. Really great forward-looking design.
