Redox is a pretty impressive project. One could almost use it as a desktop OS already, except that it has no working USB input support yet.

- Thaxll 7y agoRedox is probably more unsafe that Linux is. The 20% of unsafe stuff going in there had 0 review from serious security standpoint.
- staticassertion 7y agoThat's a ridiculous statement. Most of Linux isn't reviewed by security experts either... and the codebase for linux absolutely dwarfs redox, and every line of Linux is C.

- pjmlp 7y agoFor starters from Google, with their Linux Kernel Self Preservation project, where an endless list of exploits have been fixed, starting by removal from all VLAs in the kernel source. Going forward, all Android devices on ARM are required to use ARM MTE, because the only way to keep C develoeprs on track is to have hardware control their pointer usage. https://security.googleblog.com/2019/08/adopting-arm-memory-tagging-extension.html https://security.googleblog.com/2019/08/adopting-arm-memory-... And as of NDK 21, Fortify is enabled by default, https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2019/10/introducing-ndk-r21-our-first-long-term.html https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2019/10/introducin... Given that Linux kernel downstream on Qubes , ChromeOS and Android are the only ones with all of the security counter measured turned on, that speaks a lot for the standard Linux kernel on random distribution X.
