QNX (now known as QNX Neutrino) is a modern, highly reliable real-time, minimalist but complete UNIX-like OS that can fit on a floppy disk, supports many architectures and has many uses as an embedded OS. As an embedded OS QNX is used in many automobiles, industrial applications, medical electronics and is even used to operate nuclear power plants and powers the world's most powerful router.

Technical details


Character details

QNX-tan is represented as cyan-haired girl with her hair partly in an updo with gold hairclips, including two in the form of a QNX and a QNX Neutrino logo and wears glasses, a lab coat, grey shirt, blue tie and blue skirt. She is very intelligent, eccentric, helpful, resourceful and incredibly efficient. She lives a busy but satisfying life as an engineer, industrialist, auto-mechanic, medic, and a self-proclaimed mad scientist.

She is friendly to others but is especially interested in the diminutive OS-tans and often shrinks herself down to their size, reflecting that QNX is a very small OS. QNX-tan has some other eccentric habits, including counting only in even numbers as QNX is up to version 6 but there is no QNX 3 or 5.
