Solaris/Linux on x86, ARM & RISC-V, +Topics: Cosmic-Desktop


Details
Introductory materials, dev, beginner threads on discord thread/channel for Solaris events
Contributors:
This event brings together engineers, developers, and system enthusiasts to discuss Solaris (Illumos distros i.e., OpenIndiana), as well as the exciting possibilities of porting Unix systems to ARM and RISC-V architectures. We also cover Linux topics on similar hardware.
From legacy to open silicon, we’ll dive into real-world experiences, technical challenges, and innovations at the intersection of operating systems and emerging hardware platforms. Whether you're a Solaris veteran, a Linux-on-ARM hacker, or simply curious about the RISC-V revolution, this event offers a front-row seat to the next chapter in Unix history.
Our mission is to build a modern, open Unix platform designed for today's architectures and tomorrow's possibilities.
Popular recent topics
- Linux kernel / development cycle in comparison with Solaris
- Licensing GPL vs others
- Java desktop system vs other DEs
Users/Consumers:
We are building a community that help people run Solaris related technologies on their systems. If you are having trouble running OpenIndiana or another Solaris distro on a device or ran into some issues we are here to help.
Disclaimer: we have no affiliation with current corp. that acquired Solaris from Sun. We do not provide support for their products. We only support the open-source versions of Solaris and its derivatives.

Every week on Saturday until June 27, 2025
