There's lots of interesting key differences between something based on Linux, for example, and QNX. Worth digging into if you're interested in these things. My colleague wrote a short ebook and the intro has a good summary: https://gitlab.com/elahav/qnx-rpi-book/-/tree/master/pdf

Unfortunately, the U.S. State Department viewed the Japanese plan to place it on all computers in their educational system as anti-competitive.
Really wish it was available for the Raspberry Pi.
