Enter Maestro, a unix-like monolithic kernel that aims to be compatible with Linux in order to ensure wide compatibility. Interestingly, it is written in Rust. It includes Solfége, a boot system and daemon manager, maestro-utils, which is a collection of system utility commands, and blimp, a package manager. According to Luc, it’s creator, the following third-party software has been tested and is working on the OS: musl (C standard library), bash, Some GNU coreutils commands such as ls, cat, mkdir, rm, rmdir, uname, whoami, etc… neofetch (a patched version, since the original neofetch does not know about the OS). If you want to test it out, fire up a VM with at least 1 GB of ram.

    Because someone decided to do it.

    You don’t always need a good reason other than it might be cool/fun. Sometimes it’s just because you can.

    You’re not forced to use it, so if it’s not your cup of tea, that’s fine.

      When my wife asks me “why are you doing [insert weird thing of the moment in my homelab]?” most of the times I answer “because I can!”.
