Moxnox 1.0 hobby OS released
What happened
Moxnox v1.0 was released on October 28 and hit the Hacker News front page. The hobby OS borrows Windows NT's design, is POSIX-compatible and self-hosting, and runs directly on the btrfs filesystem. It is about 130,000 lines of C++, targets amd64 and aarch64, ships its own GNU base system and runs Unix software by recompiling it. The author says the btrfs implementation covers only basic use and is not well tested, and advises mounting only throwaway filesystems.

Moxnox v1.0 发布，这是一个设计仿照 Windows NT、兼容 POSIX 且能自举的业余操作系统，直接运行在 btrfs 文件系统上。代码约 13 万行 C++，支持 amd64 与 aarch64，可自带 GNU 基础系统并重新编译运行 Unix 软件。其 btrfs 实现仅满足基本用途、尚未经过充分考验，作者建议只挂载一次性文件系统。
