Redox now multithreaded by default

Can these months please stop passing us by this quickly? It seems we're getting a monthly Redox update every other week now, and that's not right. Anyway, what have the people behind this Rust-based operating system been up to this past month?

One of the biggest changes this month is that Redox is now multithreaded by default, at least on x86 machines. Unsurprisin

Today I tried #RedoxOS. It‘s a wonderful small „unix/linux“ based on a microkernel. The whole OS was written in rust. It is very early in development and does not run on every machine.

I managed to install it on an old x86 sub notebook with a atom cpu. The whole image (including Doom) is less than 1GB. It boots at lightspeed. And it is a very nice glimpse of what‘s coming next.

I like it. #linux #microkernel #rust

Yes, Redox can run on some smartphones

I had the pleasure of going to RustConf 2025 in Seattle this year. During the conference, I met lots of new people, but in particular, I had the pleasure of spending a large portion of the conference hanging out with Jeremy Soller of Redox and System76. Eventually, we got chatting about EFI and bootloaders, and my contributions to PostmarketOS, and my experien

Ходжу кругами довкола #RedoxOS. Хто не знає - це така спроба написати мікроядерну віську на #Rust з нуля. Але от парадокс: там немає рідного #Cargo а весь софт базується на портах, схоже до фряхи.

Якщо зненацька хтось помітить там завіз цього пакетника - маякніть!

А взагалі, я поступово скочуюсь до рівня операційних систем, ось надибав такий вже не новий проектик, кому цікаво до кави:

Redox gets COSMIC Readers and tons of bugfixes

The months keep slipping through our fingers, during this, our slow but relentless march towards the inevitability of certain death, so it's time for another month of improvements to Redox, the general-purpose microkernel operating system written in Rust. This past month the work to bring various components of system76's COSMIC desktop environ

Redox gets network booting, work on UNIX domain sockets continues

Redox continues to make progress, and as another month has passed us by, it's time for another monthly update. This past month, the focus has been on UNIX domain sockets, which are needed for Redox' goal of running Wayland.

As we continue to move forward with our plans for Wayland, a key technology for

Redox gets X11 support, GTK3, and Mesa3D EGL

We've cleared another month by the skin of our teeth, so it's time for another month of progress in Redox, the Rest-based operating system. They've got a big one for us this month, as Redox can now run X11 applications in its Orbital display server, working in much the same way as XWayland. This X11 support includes DRI, but it doesn't yet fully sup

Redox OS gets X11 and GTK 3 support!

Redox OS with Rust gets X11 support!

Redox OS was an independent operating system that was written with Rust to give you performance while ensuring memory safety thanks to Rust and its goals. It’s a microkernel-based general purpose operating system that aims to be Unix-like. Rust is a programming language that aims to be a memory-safe version of C and C++, while being suitable for most applications.

Recently, Redox OS has gotten X11 support and GTK 3 support according to their official blog post. This was done directly in the Orbital display server, which Redox OS internally uses for the GUI to enable user interaction with common applications, such as web browsers. X11 applications can now run on Redox OS using a separate X11 window!

Conceptually, this is similar to how X11 programs run on Wayland on a conventional Linux system using XWayland. Applying the same concept idea to the Orbital display server with X11 applications, you can now run traditional X11 applications.

The DRI backend? Yes! Redox OS also contains this backend to improve rendering performance, and it improves user experience. However, it doesn’t support full graphics acceleration yet, so you can’t run demanding games on it. The Redox OS team expects that this code will become part of their Wayland support.

The GTK 3 toolkit has been ported to Redox OS to allow GTK 3 applications to run on the X11 server. In the same blog post, they’ve even shared how this support worked, using a demo application that uses GTK 3 with the OpenGL support window open. This is to showcase the huge milestone that Redox OS has gone through.

Redox gets services management, completes userspace process manager

Can someone please stop these months from coming and going, because I'm getting dizzy with yet another monthly report of all the progress made by Redox. Aside from the usual swath of improvements to the kernel, relibc, drivers, and so on, this month saw the completion of the userspace process manager.

This month in Redox, March 2025

Another month, another month of Redox improvements and bug fixes. This month saw a ton of work on process management as part of the NLnet grant, massive improvements to the USB stack, including a USB hub driver, as well as the usual kernel and driver improvements. On top of all this work, there's the usual long list of bugfixes and smaller improvements.

Chat, what's odds RedoxOS works on this 2015 Macbook? It's struggling a bit much these days and is definitely falling out of vendor OS support...

Redox continues adding dynamic linking support

These months are coming and going way too fast, for a whole variety of reasons, so we've got another month of improvements for Redox, the operating system written in Rust. I February, January's work on dynamic linking continued, adding support for it to the recipes for Cargo, LLVM, Rust, libssh2, OpenSSL, zlib, COSMIC Terminal, NetSurf, libpng

Spun a RedoxOS VM today to poke it. Looks cool but some stuff was straight up broken, might faff about with the VM settings to see if I can get it in better shape.

#RedoxOS Ends 2024 On A High Note With Dynamic Linking Progress, ifconfig Port

Imagine a future where we are developing on a #System76 computer running #RedoxOS with #COSMICdesktop and either a #alacritty or a #wezterm terminal running #nushell with #zellij as the multiplexer and #helixeditor as the development environment.

Running #rustlang from top to bottom on your computer. Hopefully it's a future not too far away.

I think I’ll be planning on doing a #YouTube video on #RedoxOS in the near future. So putting that in the queue to make. So stay tuned after I crank a few more videos. I want to get back to making #Linux #InfoSec and #Cybersecurity content as well as general #IT and #OpenSource videos
