Redox OS

About Redox OS

Redox OS is a Unix-like operating system written in Rust with a focus on security, reliability, and safety. It aims to provide a complete OS experience with source compatibility for Linux/BSD programs, a microkernel architecture, and a full set of native and ported tools, targeting desktop and cloud environments. The project emphasizes driver isolation, user-space drivers, and a modular, MIT-licensed development model with active community involvement. Redox supports multiple architectures including x86_64 and RISC-V, and promotes a minimal, secure footprint with a TOML configuration approach for customization.
