I like seeing ambitious projects like this, even if it doesn’t work out in the long run. It’s good learning, and for the same reason we need more options for a browser, more options for an OS only makes things better for everyone. Also Pop_OS is a pretty cool project if you can ignore the drama lol. I’m excited to see what Cosmic desktop ends up being

They are porting COSMIC? That’s insane! If they can actually pull off their goals for 23/24 I’d be looking to try RedoxOS on physical hardware.

Edit: I will admit I confused RedoxOS with ReactOS, though

Adding support for COSMIC, Qt, and GTK sounds impressive but all it really means is adding support for Wayland. I mean adding Wayland support is impressive enough but the rest kind of come for free.

The same is true of relibc really. I mean, once you have matured the C library, POSIX support is a layup and everything else flows from that.

I really like the idea of Relibc as the benefits of Rust would be very welcome in something as foundational as the C library. It would be interesting to see it used by a Linux distro.

Interesting to see that Redox will use GCC. Given that Rust / LLVM are so foundational to the system, I am surprised their main C / C++ compiler is not Clang.

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?
