#RedoxOS Begins Developing Its Own Intel Graphics Driver

Redox gets basic Linux DRM support
Since we moved to a new year, we also moved to a new month, and that means a new monthly report from Redox, the general purpose operating system written in Rust. The report obviously touches on the news we covered a few weeks ago that Redox now has the first tidbits of a modesetting driver for Intel hardware, but in addition to that, the project has also taken the fi

Redox takes first baby steps towards a modesetting driver for Intel graphics
An exciting tidbit of news from Redox, the Rust-based operating system. Its founder and lead developer Jeremy Soller has merged the first changes for a modesetting driver for Intel graphics.

Ion: Modern System Shell in Rust

🌘 Redox OS 的 Ion 系統 Shell：現代化、高效能的 Rust 撰寫 Shell
➤ 探索 Ion Shell：兼具效能、安全與現代化語法的系統 Shell
✤ https://github.com/redox-os/ion
Ion 是一款以 Rust 程式語言撰寫的現代化系統 Shell，旨在提供簡潔且強大的語法，並兼具優異的效能與安全性。雖然主要為 Redox OS 開發，但也相容於其他 Unix-like 平臺。本專案是 GitLab 上 Redox OS Ion 專案的 GitHub 鏡像，文件、建置與安裝方式亦有詳細說明。
+ Rust 寫的 Shell 聽起來就很吸引人，效能和安全方面應該會是很大的亮點。
+ 希望 Ion 的語法能真的做到簡潔有力，畢竟 Shell 的易用性也很重要。

Servo ported to Redox
Redox keeps improving every month, and this past one is certainly a banger. The big news this past month is that Servo, the browser engine written in Rust, has been ported to Redox. It's extremely spartan at the moment, and crashes when a second website is loaded, but it's a promising start. It also just makes sense to have the premier Rust browser engine running on the premier Rust operating
Redox now multithreaded by default
Can these months please stop passing us by this quickly? It seems we're getting a monthly Redox update every other week now, and that's not right. Anyway, what have the people behind this Rust-based operating system been up to this past month?
One of the biggest changes this month is that Redox is now multithreaded by default, at least on x86 machines. Unsurprisin

Today I tried #RedoxOS. It‘s a wonderful small „unix/linux“ based on a microkernel. The whole OS was written in rust. It is very early in development and does not run on every machine.
I managed to install it on an old x86 sub notebook with a atom cpu. The whole image (including Doom) is less than 1GB. It boots at lightspeed. And it is a very nice glimpse of what‘s coming next.
I like it. #linux #microkernel #rust
🌗 RedoxFS：Redox 作業系統的預設檔案系統
➤ 深入解析 RedoxFS 的設計理念、技術實現與使用指南
✤ https://doc.redox-os.org/book/redoxfs.html
RedoxFS 是 Redox 作業系統的預設檔案系統，其設計靈感源自 ZFS，並針對微核心架構進行優化。它解決了 ZFS 在 Redox 微核心設計上的限制，提供諸如寫入時複製、資料/中繼資料校驗和透明加密等功能。RedoxFS 支援高達 193TiB 的檔案大小，並可與 Linux (透過 FUSE) 相容，同時採用 MIT 授權，方便與 GPL 授權的作業系統整合。文章詳細介紹了 RedoxFS 的開發背景、功能特性、建構方法以及使用工具進行檔案系統的創建、掛載和卸載的步驟。
+ RedoxFS 聽起來很有潛力，特別是它針對微核心架構的優化，還有 MIT 授權讓它在不同生態系中都能發揮作用。希望它在效能和穩定性上能有好的表現。
+ 看到 RedoxFS 整合了 ZFS 的一些優點，又克服了其限制，這讓人非常期待。

I had the pleasure of going to RustConf 2025 in Seattle this year. During the conference, I met lots of new people, but in particular, I had the pleasure of spending a large portion of the conference hanging out with Jeremy Soller of Redox and System76. Eventually, we got chatting about EFI and bootloaders, and my contributions to PostmarketOS, and my experien
