gollark: There's PotatOS Classic, PotatOS Tau (the main version), GovOS (developed for Keansia), ChorOS (for running Chorus City systems), PotatOS Tetrahedron (WIP dev version with mildly less awful code), TomatOS/BurritOS/YomatOS (I mean, same ideas, they don't share a huge amount of code).
gollark: <@107118134875422720> There are actually more potatOS-derived OSes than that.
gollark: Basically, yes.
gollark: SPUDNET in potatOS uses Polychoron for this.
gollark: You need to manage the coroutines yourself or use some library for it like Raisin.
