is presented the release of the operating system sculpt 21.10 , within the framework of which on the basis of technology Genode OS Framework develops a general purpose operating system that can be used by conventional Users to perform everyday tasks. The source texts of the project are distributed under the AGPLV3 license. To download, LiveUSB-image , 26 MB. Supported operation on systems with processors and graphics subsystems Intel with enabled VT-D and VT-X extensions.
Basic innovations :
- The hardware acceleration of graphics using GPU Intel is implemented. To support the GPU, the MESA package is involved and the genode OS Framework Release 21.08 The GPU access multiplexing mechanism.
- Added support for webcams with USB interface.
- is provided with the ability to play audio and video content in Falkon browser based on the Chromium engine. Provided a working sound driver and a component for sound mixing. To disable the sound, a Black Hole component is proposed, pretending to be a sound driver, but not producing sound output.

- Added File-Vault component for storing files in encrypted form. In combination with the Recall-FS component using the File-Vault, each user can select a separate encrypted storage area.
The system comes with a Leitzentrale graphical interface that allows you to perform typical system administration tasks. In the upper left corner of the graphical interface, a menu is displayed with tools for managing users, connecting drives and settings of the network connection. In the center there is a configurator for layout of the system fillings, which provides interface in the form of a graph that defines the relationship between system components. The user can in the interactive mode to arbitrarily delete or add components by defining the composition of the system environment or virtual machines.
At any time, the user can switch to the console control mode, which provides greater flexibility in control. The traditional desktop can be obtained by running the Tinycore Linux distribution in a Virtual Machine with Linux. In this environment, Firefox and Aurora browsers are available, the QT database text editor and various applications. To start the command line utilities, the NOUX environment is offered.
