That's not Linux... Here's hoping your post doesn't get removed.

Seems relevant enough. It is still on !linux@lemmy.ml too

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.
