> FUZIX is a fusion of various elements from the assorted UZI forks and branches beaten together into some kind of semi-coherent platform and then extended from V7 to somewhere in the SYS3 to SYS5.x world with bits of POSIX thrown in for good measure. Various learnings and tricks from ELKS and from OMU also got blended in

I'm sorry but the landing page at fuzix.org (the top page nonetheless) is terrible as it does not even try to explain what FUZIX even IS. I went to the GitHub project page, which contains some more details, but it still doesn't answer the question and only talks about how FUZIX differs from UZI.

To be honest, I still have no idea what I'm looking at.

>it does not even try to explain what FUZIX even IS

Fuzix is a very simple UNIX clone (and a for of UZI) started by Alan Cox, an ex-Linux kernel developer) as his retirement project.

It aims to run on old CPUs like Z80 and on microcontrollers. I found it when searching what OS can I run on the $4 Raspberry Pi Pico.

Take a guess. The first two words of the web page is "Fuzix" and "OS", it can't be that hard.

Looks like the project is dead.

No I think Alan just moved where it's hosted:

Alan's currently putting most of his energy into the compiler. It's a C compiler in C which can compile itself, and compile FUZIX, for 8080 and Z80 targets. The goal is to make it compile itself on all the platforms it can run on eventually. :)
