Grep this: Microsoft grafts (most) Linux commands onto Windows
Steve Ballmer’s darkest fear has come to pass: Linux has worked itself into the deepest innards of Microsoft Windows itself. At the company’s annual Build developer conference this week, Microsoft released coreutils, a Rust-built multi-call binary file for Windows that serves over 75 Unix commands directly in the Windows CMD and PowerShell command lines – including favorites such as cat, ls, grep, and head. They join Linux favorites curl and sudo which were earlier added to the Microsoft...
Is anyone here interested in contributing to this OS?
A clean-slate x86_64 microkernel operating system built from scratch. No POSIX baggage, no legacy Unix assumptions. The kernel stays minimal: scheduling, memory management, IPC ports, and hardware abstraction.
Microsoft Build: Surface RTX Spark Dev Box, Coreutils for Windows, air-gapped GitHub and more
Microsoft’s Build event is under way in San Francisco, USA, with the expected focus on agentic AI but also a few surprises, such as Unix-style Coreutils for Windows. CEO Satya Nadella presented Project Solara, based on future devices which "are not meant to run traditional apps. They are designed for agents," according to applied science group leader Steven Bathiche; it is as much aspiration than specific plans and whether it is dream or nightmare is open to question.
OpenBSD 7.9 arrives, a diamond in the rough proud of every sharp edge
OpenBSD 7.9 has been released, maintaining its reputation as a highly secure Unix-like operating system. This version introduces modest features, including support for up to 255 processor cores on amd64 machines and improved CPU scheduler understanding for heterogeneous cores. Additionally, it features "delayed hibernation" to manage low battery power and includes updates to LibreSSL and OpenSSH.
Coreutils for Windows
UNIX-style core utilities for Windows. The same commands and pipelines you use on Linux, macOS, and WSL - natively. A Microsoft-maintained build of uutils/coreutils, findutils, and a GNU-compatible grep packaged as a single multi-call binary for Windows.

Movwin: My (Unpublished) TUI Framework
blog - git - desktop - contact 2026-05-29 Making programs with some sort of GUI (or TUI) has been a bit unsatisfactory for me for a very long time now. Libraries come and go, trends come and go. You constantly have to chase upstream's new decisions and adjust your code.
Use your Nvidia GPU's VRAM as swap space on Linux
Use your NVIDIA GPU's VRAM as swap space on Linux. Built for laptops with soldered memory and no upgrade path. If you have an RTX card sitting there with 8GB of VRAM and you're getting swapped to SSD, this puts that VRAM to work.
Grit: Rewriting Git in Rust with Agents
A few months ago I read about Anthropic's experiment of releasing a swarm of agents to write a functioning C compiler and it made me wonder about the feasibility of using that same approach to accomplish something I've been dreaming about for 15 years now, not long after we started GitHub - rewrite Git from scratch to be library based. Git is of course a very complex piece of software. There are lots of "plumbing" commands, lots of higher level commands - it was put together incrementally by...
