<story><title>Essence – An Operating System</title><url>https://gitlab.com/nakst/essence</url></story><parent_chain></parent_chain><comment><author>nerdponx</author><text>Looks nice.&lt;p&gt;My question about totally new operating systems is: does any &amp;quot;end-user&amp;quot; software work on it? Can I run Python? A Bash-like shell and some approximation to GNU coreutils? Will audio output actually work? Will my monitor work at a sensible resolution?&lt;p&gt;It seems like such a tremendous effort just to get to the point where anyone other than a serious OS developer can use it. I wonder if there&amp;#x27;s any way to reduce the effort required, or if that&amp;#x27;s just how things have to be.</text></comment>
