Linux made a Unix clone. One can say, started with the wrong premise.
It’s a lot of work. I honestly think what Emacs developers are doing - assume that the underlying OS won’t ever be good enough, and just put all your ideology into particular environment you’re making, - is the right approach. I’m not even sure if what I’d want to do requires anything but Emacs, I think I’ll get busy with learning elisp.

Yeah, he created an OS from scratch to avoid corporate greed of what they charged for Unix.
It is a lot of work, and the TempleOS guy building his system is a huge accomplishment also…as quirky as it is.
I guess I don’t see us being stuck with anything other than our own complacency.
To be honest nobody has given me a good view of what emacs actually does…so I’m all ears

Which was a Unix clone. Which was the subject of the famous Tannenbaum-Torvalds argument, and Tannenbaum’s position in it is pretty much obvious.
It’s a nice cozy lisp environment - almost an operating system - that runs on many popular OSes. First of all it’s a powerful text editor, but can be used to chat, manage e-mail, read e-news, and so on.
