It’s bizarre to me that not one megawealthy tech nerd has thrown 8 figures at some smart people in an attempt to solve the capabilities-based OS UX problem. The payoff would be remarkable.

The tricky part is not doing the capability-based OS, it's getting adoption.

Linux is good enough, so a slightly better OS is not going to cut it.

I guess Fuchsia is an attempt at a capability-based OS with wider appeal. The architecture seems interesting, wish there was quicker progress on it.
It's honestly moving fast. OS are just complicated these days and it takes a long time to get to parity on all fronts.
