OK, then explain how Arix is supposed schedule and create a resource lock on hardware independent of the Linux kernel?  And vice versa.....Explain what happens when Arix and the Linux kernel lock the same resource at teh same time....I'll tell you what happens, you get a disaster, so I find this graphic to be misleading at best, and dishonest at worst.


Rightly or wrong, the graphic clearly suggests that the Linux kernel doesn't touch the resources that the Arix kernel controls directly and that the Arix kernel sends instructions to the Linux kernel and is it's boss.

I'm not passing any kind of opinion here on Arix itself but only on what the graphic tells me,  the job of the graphic is to portray information with visual language.

It will be interesting to see how accurate the graphic designer has been in portraying the reality of the matter. Of course, he can only be as accurate as his brief.

I think the above diagram was lifted from the paper published at the link below and modified

You may well be correct as to the origin of the diagram and thanks for the link, I will read with interest and an open mind.

ps Your claims regarding MorphOS 3.3 were that it "lacks a useful or STABLE browser" and has an "unacceptable lack of 3D support".

Neither is true.



In all fairness both the words "useful" and "unacceptable" denote opinion and as opinion are neither true nor false but rather more a point of view.

Personally I have no issues with MOS but then I don't have much experience with it either.
