Redox OS With COSMIC Apps Is Looking Quite Nice
![OPERATING SYSTEMS](/assets/categories/operatingsystems.webp)
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. Even the C library, relibc, is written in Rust. Are we OS yet?":
It's looking great. 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.
