Given the existence of FUSE (filesystems in userspace) and CUSE (character devices in userspace) it's surprising that there's no BUSE (block devices in userspace, which should obviously be pronounced bus-e)

what if i actually implemented real operating system features like “haveing a userspace” instead of WRITING MORE DRIVERS FOR MORE KINDS OF INTERRUPT CONTROLLERS

Pink + Purple == Apple? 🌸🍎
Got Google's Fuchsia OS booting on an Apple M3 MacBook, through to userspace!
Apple's interrupt controller (AIC), timer, and m1n1 virtual UART are working on native hardware.
Here's how it works:

The `sudo systemctl soft-reboot` on Linux is used for performing a userspace only reboot operation. It will reboot the Linux distro without the BIOS, UEFI or the hardware having to perform a complete cold boot. As a result your system reboots in seconds but will not load a new Linux kernel.

The year is 2030. Everything is systemd. /bin/sh is now a symlink to systemd-posix-compat. You boot your kernel and it immediately execs into systemd. There is no userspace. There is only systemd.

Android uses Clang type-based forward edge Control Flow Integrity (CFI) for the kernel and a subset of userspace. It isn't a high impact security feature. We used to have changes expanding userspace coverage but Android is already doing it and we moved this effort to higher impact work.

Considering they can't stop breaking software in userspace I think Valve has little reason to fear this denting whatever plans they have for SteamOS.

Let me tell you about aperture plus! github.com/tailscale/ap... . Trying to get the whole tool collection properly assembled. A lot of this was written by glm-5.2 in pi, although I personally switch models a lot to test out aperture’s model compatibility :)

should we even *use* pages? NUMA? what about a filesystem instead? how would you handle shared objects? how much should be in userspace vs kernelspace? WHERE’S THE MEMORY MANAGEMENT BOUNDARY??

We already ported our code to Android 17 QPR1 since before it was released on September 15th but don't have permission to release it yet. We're working on backporting Pixel firmware, kernel drivers, userspace drivers and HALs from Android 17 QPR1 to Android 17 for now instead.

Definitely Microslop's, a userspace application should _never_ be able to crash the kernel. Yet that happens routinely with Windows

i love how nvidia is still shit on linux because of the userspace part of the drivers still being closed source
linux distros are one big monolithic unit of software and you run into lots of problems when your software isn't compiled for a distro's environment

Android 16 QPR1 is finally being pushed to the Android Open Source Project. This should have happened on 2025-09-03. We migrated to full Android 16 QPR1 kernel code (GPLv2 tarball) and firmware in September. We couldn't migrate userspace to QPR1 without it being pushed to AOSP.
