I don't understand this part of the template:

Kernel:

General: Microkernel · Nanokernel 

Types: monolithic · hybrid · exokernel

What is "general"? General kernel designs are microkernel and monolithic kernel. A hybrid would then be one that possesses qualities of both. Exokernel is orthogonally different design, but it either fits in one or the other category. Nanokernel is a microkernel even more miniaturized. So there are two basic designs. Considering that, what does the above "general" and "types" mean? --Paxcoder (talk) 16:40, 13 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Nanokernel has been redirecting to Microkernel since 2008. Why is Nanokernel still listed as an architecture subtype when it is apparently not notable enough to get its own article? The Nanokernel-part of the Microkernel article looks a lot like a disambiguation-page; if Nanokernel doesn't even have a proper definition why does it count as a subtype? I suggest removing Nanokernel from the Operating system template. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.70.160.55 (talk) 16:41, 21 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I believe long mode is more than prevalent to warrant its addition into the cpu modes field. (It is one after all!) Edit: After I get to 10 edits :p Added by Jon Weldon II: (talk) 04:21, 10 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This is a highly visable template. Please post your proposed changes here to get consensus before they are put in. RudolfRed (talk) 03:59, 27 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The list of operating systems includes Oberon and a large collection of other OSes. I understand it may look awkward to have such a long list under the "list" section of the template. However, as is, it is confusing and inadequate. Despite there is already a link on the left field to "list", there should also be a more... link at the end of the pseudo-full list that points to the true full list as well.

As GNU is a software project, and GNU Hurd is the operating system. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.56.183.105 (talk) 23:58, 5 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

 Done. --Jeff Ogden (W163) (talk) 05:32, 6 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The one-word title "List" is ambiguous, but "List of operating systems" would surely seem redundant.
Consider one of the following:
List of software suites
Operating system suites

Not done: as you have not requested a change.
If you want to suggest a change, please request this in the form "Please replace XXX with YYY" or "Please add ZZZ between PPP and QQQ".
Please also cite the reason to back up your request, without which no information should be added to, or changed in, any article. - Arjayay (talk) 21:51, 28 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected redirect at Template:Operating system. (edit · history · last · links · transclusion count · protection log) This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y". The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

Include Real-time_operating_systems. Possibly under "Process Management" > "Concepts". 5.146.223.200 (talk) 10:36, 19 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
