I am Jeremy Soller, the creator of Redox OS, please let me know if you have questions!

  Can you share what are the things missing from redoxOS before it can take advantage of the full capabilities of a system76 laptop?

    iwlwifi, a more complete USB stack, i2c hid, graphics acceleration. What does work is pretty cool though. Ethernet, input, non-accelerated graphics, nvme and ahci storage

      Related, what is the end goal for Redox in your mind? Do you plan to ship it on System76 laptops when it's eventually ready? Or do you see this more as a hobby / exploratory project?

  What's next for Redox OS? I couldn't find a roadmap, but maybe you have one?
  • jackpot51 6y ago
    Next up is probably a graphical installer
• cycloptic 6y ago
  Any plans for what to do about GPU drivers?
  • jackpot51 6y ago
    Port DRM drivers to userspace and use mesa, probably
    • cycloptic 6y ago
      Cool, I figured as much, I guess that means implementing ioctl() or some equivalent.

  Hey Jeremy! What sort of support do you have for graphical APIs like windowing, graphics, etc.? I'd be really interested in working with you to port Veloren (https://veloren.net/ https://veloren.net/), also written in Rust, to Redox at some point in the future: if nothing else, as a demonstration of what a pure Rust tech stack can do. If you're interested in this, feel free to message me on Reddit (same username).

  Hi Jeremy, Is there a port of Redox OS which runs under xen as a guest OS (paravirtual or otherwise)? Lots of tiny OSes, such as Minix, have been ported to this environment and I think this could be a fun way to run Redox while leveraging the broad device support of a traditional Linux Kernel. Thanks!
