Synit is an experiment in applying **pervasive reactivity** and **object capabilities** to the
|
|
|
|
|
[System Layer](https://synit.org/book/glossary.html#system-layer) of an operating system for
|
|
|
|
|
personal computers, including laptops, desktops, and mobile phones. Its
|
|
|
|
|
[architecture](https://synit.org/book/architecture.html) follows the principles of the
|
|
|
|
|
[Syndicated Actor Model](https://synit.org/book/glossary.html#syndicated-actor-model).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Synit builds upon the Linux kernel, but replaces many pieces of
|
|
|
|
|
familiar Linux software, including `systemd`, `NetworkManager`,
|
|
|
|
|
`D-Bus`, and so on. It makes use of many concepts that will be
|
|
|
|
|
familiar to Linux users, but also incorporates many ideas drawn from
|
|
|
|
|
programming languages and operating systems not closely connected with
|
|
|
|
|
Linux's Unix heritage.

|
If you have a mobile phone or computer capable of running
|
|
|
|
|
[PostmarketOS](https://postmarketos.org/), then you can [install](https://synit.org/book/install.html)
|
|
|
|
|
