for those of us who can't keep of track of which software named "xOS" is which anymore:

    IncludeOS is an includable, minimal unikernel operating system for C++ services running in the cloud. We provide a bootloader, standard libraries and the build- and deployment system. You just provide the service.

Yeah, there's sooo many of them. And I seem to recall another similarly named project from ten years ago or so too.

Please don't use preformatted syntax for quotes. Just dump the quote as-is, otherwise it's really hard to read, because it's all on one line. If you do wish to use preformatted syntax, wrap at 70 chars. Maybe less to keep it readable on mobile, too.

So, is it really a unikernel, or is it a linkable pid1?

It certainly looks like it is really a unikernel - it boots itself, is tested via qemu instead of chroots / docker (the images are for building IncludeOS), uses newlib and virtio, etc.
