QNX is a modern, complete UNIX-based OS that can fit on a floppy disk but is more commonly an embedded OS used in automobiles, industrial applications and medical electronics.  
==Technical details==
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.  


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, helpful and eccentric to others and leads a busy life; being a medic, auto-mechanic and 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.


She is friends with OS/2-tan and volunteers to help her and OS/2-tan's other friends with their objectives. Other friends include Slackware-tan and QDOS-tan who are fellow mechanics. QNX-tan is also in a three-way rivalry with Windows CE-tan and OS-9-tan but her rivalry with OS-9-tan runs deeper because of some similarities- both are of similar age, both are UNIX-based and are obscure competitors in the embedded OS market. But unlike OS-9-tan, she does not mind being obscure and is just glad that she can be useful to many.

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.
