"Real-time patched Linux kernel for low-latency desktop use" - does this really make sense? I think there have been various efforts like this over the decades but as far as I remember none of them really made a huge difference for the end user.
25 years ago, I configured GNOME to run a BeOS-like tabbed window manager. On a sun workstation.
But that's not what this is. Or not only:
Nexus Kernel Bridge
Nexus is Vitruvian's custom Linux kernel subsystem that brings BeOS-style node monitoring, device tracking, and messaging to Linux — making it possible to run Haiku applications on a standard Linux kernel.
It claims to run apps from Haiku, the current open-source implementation of a modern BeOS.
If you like BeOS, take a look at Haiku https://www.haiku-os.org/ , it's very nice and very usable system based directly on BeOS.

This is interesting - a Linux distro that really differentiates itself technically, instead of just having a different GUI / desktop environment.
Vitruvian asks a different question: what would I actually want to do with my computer that I currently can’t?
Only be able to drag a window around the screen from the top left corner
To be fair that's one more corner than Tahoe.
Touché, and such a good reminder why everyone should wait for macOS 27.

Ah yes! It is human at the center. Now things are starting to make sense.
I don't see any actual context, just vacuous slop.
So this is a lighter weight alternative to other Linux desktops?
is there a debian distro that is close to win98. Sorta like ReactOS but can be daily-driven.
Try this:

install it on devuan and you'll be fine
