Linux with the rt-premept feature enabled does a good job of supporting
near real time applications. I use this at work in embedded devices.
Sometimes you have to do things like lock a process into memory to
prevent issues or ensure latency is met, but you get the benefit of also
running non-real time processes to do other things like a GUI or network
communications.
