    I find the idea of a modern practically usable OS really exciting, so this is awesome!

    It says “Drivers run in Userspace” on the front page of Redox - what is the advantage of this? I don’t know too much about drivers.

    Looking forward to try Redox one day. Rustlang is the future.

    I hope apps in this new OS can be just a single file package which can be downloaded and run. That’s one major thing which MacOS (and Windows to some extent) got right. Package managers on Linux are a premature optimization dependency hell…

      The Linux distribution packages suffer from dependency hell because the C and C++ dependency management is manual, there’s no good dependency manager on the C and C++ programming languages.

      While the Rust programming language has automatic dependency management with Cargo, the best dependency manager in the history of computing.
