Redox OS is a highly scalable, open-source operating system built using the Rust programming language. It features a modular microkernel architecture and aims to provide a secure and stable experience. Redox OS is source-compatible with POSIX, thereby running many Linux/BSD applications without needing a port. Preliminary testing has shown good performance on bare metal, although it currently lacks support for USB peripherals and storage, which is expected in future releases. The system includes many pre-installed applications and uses the Orbital desktop environment.

Wishing success to the project. This is such a massive undertaking.

A great project. They’ll need courage and a lot of time to catch up with Linux and BSD, which have been developed for decades…

This OS seems promising, if the developers manage to come with a stable version (one that i don’t have to worry of major bugs / data loss) of it, i will most likely use this OS on one of my computers.
