Redox OS

What does Sup Forums think of Redox OS, the new operating system being written in Rust?

it's a ruse

Will this replace Linux?

>icons look like fucking iOS icons
D R O P P E D

>microkernel
It's DOA

doesn't look bad, hopefully it has some innovations(R) beyond just being written in Rust tho

muh elegance

already looks better than windows.

what are the qualifications for an "innovation" to be "innovative"? Because I don't think there's that much they could do that isn't already being done by other operating systems that could be considered innovative, in a useful sense.

It can run screenfetch, so it's good enough for half of Sup Forums

Why? Whats better compared to linux?

Because they can faggot.

I hope it will be good. I want a future with open source desktops being the norm.

anything is better than linux solely on the basis of it not being linux

>I hope it will be good.
me too.
I hope it uses only modern 64bit x86-64 (aka AMD64) architecture and throws away all support for legacy - except for that which is absolutely necessary.

What does the "R" stand for?

>rust
dropped

Hopefully

>OS is named Redox, made in Rust
>asks what R stands for
Wot?

Rape. The "R" stands for rape.

Linux is a kernel. Redox is an OS.
So it it doesn't replace only Redox but GNU faggotry as well.

>flat ui
I'd literally rather use Windows.

Is there a prebuilt image anywhere or do I have to built it?

Aside from Cuckzilla's SJW'ness Rust is a great language and the only promising C competitor. We should use it and turn the culture around, pretty easy considering how the language is still obscure to most.

Can I play my emulators on its?

It's literally not even a year old project. It can't do shit just yet.

>French is a great language but I can't use it to take notes that only I will read, because French people are a a bunch of niggers and cucks
This is what you sound like when you care about the "culture" of the language you're using.

Rusty Trombone

How is that a bad argument?

Actually if you imagine a rust-only operating system with everything bound-checked by a compiler it seems like a great idea.
Of course the idea fails the minute you introduce unsafe code/code compiled on another machine but still, it's an interesting idea.

>my exact reaction

mein neger

>Redox OS, the new operating system being written in Rust
Oh coo...
>Redox is a Unix-like Operating System
trash

Because French is a language of Germaniggers and Celtic cucks, along with Spanish, Romanian, Italian and any other Romance-baced language. Latin is the only true patrician language of Europe, with Greek being a close second. Slavniggers are in the same group as the Germaniggers and the Romancucks.

>Unix-like
Stop this shit, Unix is not good and never was.

have you ever used UNIX?
how did you come to this conclusion? how do you rationalize it?

Let me interject for a moment. It's Moka icon theme for Linux. Theme is Arc theme for Linux. Font is Fira Sans/Fira Mono.

>R logo
real fucking creative guys

What do you recommend?

The UI is literally the least relevant thing about it, yet it's the first thing you retards bring up about it

>not making a self modifying synthetic kernel
DOA

Everything is a URL.

Team Rocket

This

really like the idea, really interested in rust too. suck my cock

I have yet to see a single Rust shill using their own OS. That says enough.

BUT THE UI SHOULD BE THE FIRST THING IN THEIR MINDS FUCK YOU

I've been using redox as my OS for the past 4 months, it's super comfy

how the hell is it running orbital? i can't even get that working in arch linux

>Of course the idea fails the minute you...
so yes a microkernel OS

How do you post on Sup Forums? Post current desktop screenshot.

>people still fall for the microkernel meme when shit like hybridkernels and kernel modules are a thing

It only has a Nintendo Virtual Boy emulator at the moment.

>the least useful emulator for the least useful os
a perfect match

Those are Moka icons. They're all open source and available on GitHub. I remember using them on Ubuntu years ago.

>they're using Arc theme and it still looks this shit

They look nice and consistent

>2 hours have passed
>still no screenshot
Why lie? Nobody uses Redox, not even diehard Rust shills.

I would love to upload a screenshot but redox doesn't have that protocol yet

Sounds like a great idea, political inclinations of the developers aside. But they really should have done it in JavaScript, not rust. Nobody uses that

What's so great about it?

Making something modern from scratch in a modern language. Cutting out all the old legacy crap.

so these people can make an os/kernel in a year but gun/hurd can't?

>wheels that don't need to be reinvented are "legacy"

/thread

>Post written in English

>Linux is a kernel. Redox is an OS.
Pic related seems to imply Redox includes the kernel too, or the wording is misleading.

Redox is absolute trash. It's so bad it's laughable.
Haiku is way better.

That explain the bug fest that is WIndows.

Writing an OS in a type & memory-safe language is a good idea. That's why Niklaus Wirth did it in 1987 with Oberon.

I think all the effort spent on Rust could have been better spent porting Firefox to A2 (the latest version of Oberon), or even Cyclone. Rust is just reinventing the wheel.
