This instant boot up will give the company's employees access to Windows on any device that supports web browsers." 11 offers great service on computers, but the company is betting it to target other computer operating systems such as Mac OS, Linux, iPads and even Android devices.

Huawei Launching Its Android Competitor 'Harmony OS' Today

Chinese smartphone maker Huawei is set to roll out its Google’s Android competitor platform, Harmony OS, today. The operating system was first unveiled after the United States’ trade ban led Google to withdraw Huawei’s Android license last year.

The operating system is set to roll out to the company’s device today, on devices across Asia.

HarmonyOS 1.0 was announced in August 2019, and was first used by Huawei smart TVs for the Chinese market. HarmonyOS 2.0 was then announced in September 2020, and beta versions were available for selected Huawei smartphones from December 2020.

Huawei gadgets have been cut off from updating Google’s Android operating system since August, following a series of U.S. sanctions against the Shenzhen-based company. The ban also cost Huawei access to the U.S. company’s package of smartphone software known as Google Mobile Services, used widely across the industry.

Huawei claimed that HarmonyOS is a microkernel-based, distributed OS that is completely different from Android and iOS. However, it was later revealed that HarmonyOS 1.0 was based on Android 9 Pie, and supported Android Debug Bridge.

Minoca OS: A new open source operating system

Meet Minoca OS, a new operating system which has recently gone open source. The developers have released the entirety of the Minoca OS source code under the GNU GPLv3, and are looking forward to building a community of users and developers around this new OS.

Developed for little devices that are in need of a full-featured Operating System, Minoca OS is being marketed as a general purpose operating system that has been written completely from scratch. The OS is ideal for devices that want to conserve their storage, memory and power. Its main aim is to be modular, lean, maintainable, and extremely comparable with the current software.

As far as the app side is concerned, they have got a package manager, and an ever-increasing suite of packages like Node, Git, Ruby, Python, and Lua. Minoca is based on a powerful driver model between device drivers and the kernel. The idea here basically is that drivers can also be written in a forward compatible manner, so kernel level components can be upgraded without the need of a recompilation of all device drivers.

Minoca OS has been written by two young developers, Evan and Chris. They were promoted to come up with Minoca when they realised that it has been 25 long years since the world has seen the birth of any major operating system.

The two developers are looking to explore if this 25 years of clean slate could help them in creating something very unique and interesting in the operating systems space. They believe that the freedom to have a fresh look at the kernel-driver interface has the potential to open a number of new, powerful capabilities. The developers are currently looking into areas such as resource isolation, power management, and serviceability that are extremely crucial in today's time but weren't even in the radar two decades ago.
