> MirOS BSD is still around, too.

According to [1],

- the most recent release was from March 16, 2008; 18 years ago

- the most recent preview was from January 17, 2016; 10 years ago

So, despite the fact that the MirOS website [2] has some small News updates from 2026, I would see the evidence on the side that MirBSD is dead, but I would love to be proven wrong on this point.

The old fallacies of WWW site changes equals software changes, and unchanged code equals non-existence, and Wikipedia being gospel for computing topics, rear their ugly heads again.

I follow the FediVerse robot that announces MirBSD CVS updates, which is quite active. The last major change, apart from some doco, was a fix to rdate at the end of May 2026, just 2 months ago. And even if MirOS BSD were unchanged for longer than that, it would very much still be around.
