I read about this OS on Habr. But all the time something prevents me from getting to know her better.

Different devices. Different approach.

It has to be compiled from source and runs in a virtual machine such as qemu. I did try (on Void, as easier to install dependencies - needs gcc 10 for a start). Failed during building the tool-chain. Looks interesting though. Might try again another time.

I did manage to build this on Manjaro. Once I started the qemu image everything slowed to an unusable crawl, so couldn't really test it out. Tried running the qemu image on FatDog, but it complained it needed version 5 or newer. FatDog has version 6, so don't know what is going on there.
