MINIX
MINIX is a UNIX-like computer operating system based on a microkernel architecture. It is extremely small, with the part that runs in kernel mode in about 5,000 lines of source code, while the parts that run in user mode are divided into small, insulated modules which enhance system reliability. Originally designed as an educational tool, the latest versions of MINIX are also targetted at embedded systems and low-power laptops. By the project's own admission, MINIX is work in progress and is nowhere near as mature as BSD or Linux. It is released under a BSD-type licence.

|
Lakka is a lightweight Linux distribution that transforms a small computer (such as a desktop PC or Raspberry Pi) into a full blown game console. The project has released Lakka 2.0, which contains many updated packages. This new version of Lakka is based on LibreELEC while past versions were based on OpenELEC. "After 6 months of community testing, we are proud to announce Lakka 2.0. This new version of Lakka is based on LibreELEC instead of OpenELEC. Almost every package has been updated! We are now using RetroArch 1.5.0, which includes so many changes that listing everything in a single blog post is rather difficult. There are also tons of new cores to play new types of games. Important changes: LibreELEC 8.0 stable rebase; RetroArch 1.5.0; new server for downloads and updates; almost all libretro cores are now enabled on every image. Lakka 2.0 introduces support for a range of new devices, including the Raspberry Pi Zero, Odroid, WeTek Play 2, WeTek Core and WeTek Hub.

Development Release: Lakka 2.0 RC1 |
|
The Lakka distribution is a lightweight, Linux-based operating system that turns a desktop or single-board computer into a gaming console. The Lakka project has published a new release candidate, Lakka 2.0-RC1, which shifts the distribution's base from OpenELEC to LibreELEC. "During the last two months, we've been busy re-basing Lakka on LibreELEC. It was quite difficult because we didn't want to drop support for any ARM boards, but we finally managed to get it working on time. This new version of Lakka is based on the LibreELEC 8.0 stable branch and ships RetroArch 1.4.1. It is a release candidate intended for testers and developers. If you are a beginner Lakka user, it's better to keep using the current stable release until Lakka 2.0 is ready for the masses. LibreELEC 8.0 is way more up-to-date than our previous OpenELEC 6.0 base. The compatibility with recent PC motherboards, graphic cards, and joypads should be greatly improved." Additional information can be found in the project's release announcement. Download: Lakka-Generic.x86_64-8.0-devel-20170226162544-r25805-g900da08.img.gz (293MB, SHA256). |
