Genode OS Framework 25.05 released
It's been 9 years since we disrupted Genode's API. Back then, we changed the execution model of components, consistently applied the dependency-injection pattern to shun global side effects, and largely removed C-isms like format strings and pointers. These changes ultimately paved the ground for sophisticated systems like Sculpt OS.
Since then, we identified sever

Sculpt OS 25.04 released
Sculpt OS 25.04 has been released, and with it come a number of very welcome and important improvements. What most users will care about the most is the updated version of the Falkon web browser, built atop Qt 6.2.2 and its accompanying qtwebengine release, which in turn is using version 112 of the Chromium engine. Aside from this major improvement, there's two other things that stand ou

Hi, cool. In case you are at the #eh22 too I would like to try it. I currently use #sculptOS on my thinkpad yoga. #genode
Stefan Kalkowski updated the docker image for #Genode development to Ubuntu 24.04
Making progress on getting @starlabssystems's StarLite5 tablet ready for Sculpt OS. I've been experimenting with adding touch gestures to @genode's event filter. I had a great time implementing swipe gestures as well as press-and-hold for right-clicking. Have a look...
Today is Students Day on #ew25! Visit our booth to experience #Genode live on the Framework notebook, the PinePhone, and MNT Reform devices.
P.S. We still have piles of Genode stickers and delicious microkernels.
We're warming up for day 2 on #ew25. Looking forward to talk about #Genode, #microkernel OSes, and open hardware from @mntmn
Porting the curl command-line tool and library with Goa
For more than a decade, we have a port of the curl library for Genode available. With the use of Sculpt OS as a daily driver as well as the plan to run Goa natively on Sculpt OS by the end of the year, the itch to also port the curl command-line tool became irresistible. Of course this is a perfect territory for using Goa.

The second and long anticipated feature is the Chromium engine version 112 in combination with Qt 6.6

This Sculpt OS video walkthrough explains how to use Sculpt OS
We talk about the Genode project and Sculpt OS quite regularly on OSNews, but every time I've tried using Sculpt OS, I've always found it so different and so unique compared to everything else that I just couldn't wrap my head around it. I assume this stems from nothing but my own shortcomings, because the Genode

A Genode dev has just created a visual Sculpt OS walkthrough for the curious. The documentation is very thorough, but since Sculpt is so unusual, this video may be a better way for some new users to get oriented. https://genodians.org/nfeske/2025-01-30-sculpt-os-walkthrough #genode #sculpt #osdev
