Catalog of articles on OS Inferno

Almost every article on OS Inferno raises questions from the series “what it is and why it is needed.” These questions are quite relevant, but it’s impossible to start each article with an answer to this question - at least I’m not ready to answer this question with one paragraph, and the full answer to the whole article is not enough. Therefore, this article will maintain the full catalog of all articles about Inferno OS on Habré, and in new articles you can simply refer to this directory.
