From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Does redox work as a web browser OS? A.k.a for web browsing and some light programming... like, has it gotten to the point where it's useable for that?
I doubt it's stable, it's a very experimental project. It's best that you get a light Linux distro if you're looking for something like that.
Ik, I already use a light Linux distro for that, I'm just curious about redox and have been curious about it for a while
