Redox is under active development by a vibrant community, you can see the key links below: The main website for Redox OS. The Redox Book and Build Instructions. Redox Chat and Support. Patreon, Donate and Merch. Scroll down for a list of key Redox components and their repositories. Redox is an open-source operating system written in Rust, a language with focus on safety, efficiency and high performance. Redox uses a microkernel architecture, and aims to be reliable, secure, usable, correct, and free. Redox is inspired by previous operating systems, such as seL4, MINIX, Plan 9, Linux and BSD. Redox is not just a kernel, it's a full-featured operating system , providing components (file system, display server, core utilities, etc.) that together make up a functional and convenient operating system. Redox uses the COSMIC desktop apps, and provides source code compatibility with many Rust, Linux and BSD programs.
