Redox is a Unix-like Operating System written in Rust, aiming to bring the innovations of Rust to a modern microkernel and full set of applications. Redox is a general purpose operating system written in pure Rust. Our aim is to provide a fully functioning Unix-like microkernel, that is both secure and free. We have modest compatibility with POSIX, allowing Redox to run many programs without porting. We take inspiration from Plan9, Minix, Linux, and BSD. Redox aims to synthesize years of research and hard won experience into a system that feels modern and familiar. Redox is an attempt to make a complete, fully-functioning, general-purpose operating system with a focus on safety, freedom, reliability, correctness, and pragmatism. ...

...The Linux kernel is the open-source, monolithic, and, Unix-like operating system kernel that is used in the Linux distributions, various embedded systems such as routers, and as well as in all Android-based systems. Linus Torvalds conceived and created the Linux kernel in 1991 and it's still being developed by thousands of developers today. It's a prominent example of free and open-source software and it's used in other free software projects, notably the GNU operating system. Although the Linux-based operating systems dominate most of computing, it still carries some design flaws which were quite a bit of debate in the early days of Linux.

"Software is best, which imposes no restrictions" A full Creative Commons 0 licensed operating system (or rather a completely free operating system to do what you will with it) written in Rust, built for an AMD64 environment. We will not support x86 architectures. The future looks promising, once we get a full AMD64 environment stable, we will also work on an ARM64 environment and a quantum computer environment. Our goal is an in place replacement to our current everyday systems (The creators use Linux daily, and support Windows and MacOS systems at work) that doesn't have all of the bloated crapware that is invading all operating systems nowadays (just look at systemd). ...
