      I thought it’s a microkernel Os… that’s why making it a useable and stable os for everyday was a little challenging

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Jeremy Soller who is an engineer at System76 and manages a side hustle of leading development on the open-source, Rust-written Redox OS has shared the latest look at this open-source operating system with the System76 COSMIC desktop applications.

    Redox OS down to its micro-kernel is leveraging Rust and thus the COSMIC apps – also leveraging Rust – are a great fit for this open-source OS.

    Here’s a look at Redox OS from a few years ago when I last gave it a shot, rather basic:

    Now here’s the latest look at Redox OS that Solley posted to X with the caption "This is Redox OS, a Rust and micro-kernel based operating system that I created, running three COSMIC DE apps (with only Rust dependencies) that I authored.

    Jeremy in follow-up comments also added that they still need to port DRM kernel graphics drivers to make gaming more viable and self-hosting is “very close”.

    Nice job to those that continue to be involved in this from-scratch Rust-written open-source OS.

    I’ve been waiting for the redox project to be ready for usage for a very long time, did they finally fix the basics of an operational ready for everyday use os? Like it now supports USB, wifi, the basic drivers like amd and Intel GPU, etc…
