    And those OSs you made in class are legitimate OSs. But they would need a lot of work to even have a chance of competing with Linux, Windows, or MacOS. Which is why it’s unlikely we’ll see a new consumer-level OS anytime soon.

      Yeah if we narrow the question down to specifically consumer level OSes, then the best chance would be if some really big conglomerate decided they needed their own independent thing. Like Google did with Fuchsia, next time Samsung or the Chinese State perhaps. But even then a scenario like Android or Tizen would be the more likely outcome, a different userland implemented on Linux.
