QNX Introduces a Self-Hosted Developer Desktop (linuxiac.com)

QNX, a real-time operating system for embedded systems, has released the initial version of its Self-Hosted Developer Desktop, introducing a native development environment that runs directly on QNX 8.0. The new setup is designed to eliminate the long-standing reliance on cross-compilation by enabling developers to build and test software entirely within QNX.

At the core of the release is a full desktop environment based on XFCE running on Wayland. The desktop is intended to lower the entry barrier for new QNX developers while also simplifying the process of porting existing Linux applications and libraries to QNX 8.0.

The environment comes preloaded with a broad set of development tools, including GCC, Clang, Python, Make, CMake, and Git, as well as a selection of commonly used editors and IDEs such as Geany, Emacs, Neovim, and Vim.

INTERESTING!!! I ran the QNX desktop way back when they first introduced for a bit. Pretty awesome for RT stuff, but unless they get some real IP building for it outside of the Auto Industry, I don't see a general Desktop becoming super popular.

The core version would be great for audio or video production. Possibly even networking if they can modernize the kernel.
