Should I use QNX or RT-Linux for my real-time data system?
Hey guys , i'm planning a real-time data system: QNX or RT-Linux? Any advice on which is better? Pros and cons appreciated

Depends on your application. RT Linux isn’t hard real-time, per se. Ubuntu has a good blog on this: https://ubuntu.com/blog/real-time-linux-vs-rtos-2.

So, again, it depends on your specific requirements.
Thanks for this. I'm trying a real-time monitoring system for industrial machinery, needing high-frequency sensor data collection and immediate anomaly detection.
If it's tied to a control/automation system I'd opt for an RTOS. Doesn't have to be QNX but where the monitoring is tied to actuation that protects high value equipment, go for something hard real time.
