QNX has now become free for non-commercial use (once again):

https://www.theregister.com/2024/11/11/qnx_8_freeware/

I played with it back before it became closed and it was a nice OS, but
you won't catch me investing any time in it today given the stunts pulled
in the past. Once bitten, twice shy, and all that...

However, I thought I would mention it in case anyone here wanted to play
with a microkernel OS.

Simon.
