Does commercial mean closed source in this context though? It seems like a waste of resources not to provide the source code for an rtos.
Considering how small in size they tend to be + with their power/computational constraints I can't imagine they have very effective DRM in place so it shouldn't take that much to reverse engineer.
May as well just provide the source under some very restrictive license.
Don't you have the code in most cases? Like with e.g. freeRTOS? That's fully open source
Isn't that still the same exact process as a normal compiler except in the case of embedded systems your OS is like a couple kilobytes large and just compiled along with the rest of your code?
As in, are those "crazy optimizations" not just standard compiler techniques, except applied to the entire OS+applications?

Regarding your note on quantum secure cryptography: Yes it exists and is a thing, but a lot of the internet still relies on cryptography that is not quantum secure, e.g. TLS for starters.

Fun fact: lots of those sd cards are actually fake. Have you tried actually putting 128gb of data on it?
It's pretty easy for them to put a scummy firmware on it that reports having a significantly larger size than they actually have.
Did you truly read what I said? The only logical way I can frame your comment is that you glanced at what I wrote down and started writing a reply.
To a regular average windows user, ubuntu is incredibly complicated. When you learm how it works and how you're supposed to use it, it becomes incredibly easy. The "hard" part of ubuntu is the paradigm shift from windows to the linux ecosystem.
Similarly, to an average linux user nixos is "hard" because it does things completely differently from other linux distros. But once you're used to it, it just makes sense and is easy.
So the comparison is average windows user -> ubuntu vs average linux user -> nixos. Not average user -> ubuntu vs average user -> nixos.
Finally: Nixos documentation is IMO 100x better than ubuntu documentation. Whenever I experience any issue with ubuntu it's easier to just load up the arch wiki and hope it's similar than it is to try and find anything specific for ubuntu that isn't either 10 years out of date, a massive gaping security risk or just plain dumb. The nixos wiki may not be perfect but it has always been sufficient for my needs, and I have to run a decent amount of very niche pieces of software.
