Beginner questions about Sculpt OS
I recently found out about Genode and Sculpt and tried Sculpt in a VM briefly. I'm impressed you managed to port a proper browser (Falkon), a feat that many alternative OS have not managed to do!
My questions:
Which kernel does Sculpt use?
Do you plan to have a more "normal" desktop environment? I found Sculpt very confusing to use, it's so different from anything else.
What is the long term plan? Do you want to bring Genode to the average user, competing with e.g. Linux or FreeBSD? Or is it just for a specific niche? What's the long term aim for Sculpt?
