1. Linux：
Linux 是一组开源的类 Unix 操作系统，由 Linus Torvalds 开发。它是一个打包的 Linux 发行版。一些最常用的 Linux 发行版是 Debian、Fedora 和 Ubuntu。它基本上是用C语言和汇编语言编写的。 Linux 中使用的内核是 Monolithic 内核。 Linux 发行版的目标系统是云计算、嵌入式系统、移动设备、个人计算机、服务器、大型计算机和超级计算机。 Linux 的第一个版本于 1991 年推出。用于个人计算机的 Linux 的最新版本是 5.6(内核)。
2. 基因：
Genode 是由 Genode Labs 提供的免费开源操作系统。它由一个微内核抽象层和一组用户空间组件组成。它可以用作个人计算机操作系统的基础，也可以用作客户操作系统的虚拟机监视器。它主要是为台式机、嵌入式系统和服务器设计的。 Genode 的第一个版本于 2008 年推出，最新的稳定版本是 19.05。
