You'll still need QNX if you want to run a full GUI Unix-like OS from a single floppy disk.

That hasn't been the case for several years now has it, since perhaps QNX v4? If not, you'll need a time machine as well.

Recent QNX has removed Photon and encourages the use of Qt instead which while can be made small, certainly does not fit in 1.44mb especially in 64bit

Yeah, the usual size for a minimal Qt with either QWidgets or Qt Quick / QML is about 15 MB.

Do people still have this requirement in 2020?
