Genode

Genode is a capability-based, component-oriented operating system framework focused on building secure, modular, and flexible operating systems. Unlike monolithic or microkernel-only designs, Genode allows developers to construct OSes from fine-grained components that communicate through well-defined interfaces. It supports multiple kernels including NOVA, seL4, and Fiasco.OC, and has been used to build everything from microhypervisors to full desktops. Genode places strong emphasis on security, fault isolation, and formal verifiability, making it ideal for critical systems and research environments.
