Redox (operating system)

Redox is a Unix-like microkernel operating system written in the programming language Rust, which has a strong focus on safety, stability, and high performance. Redox aims to be secure, usable, and free. Redox is inspired by prior kernels and operating systems, such as , MINIX, Plan 9, and BSD. It is similar to GNU and BSD, but is written in a memory-safe language. It is free and open-source software distributed under an MIT License.
Design.
The Redox operating system is designed to be highly secure. This is reflected in two main design decisions:
Components.
Redox is a full-featured operating system, providing packages (memory allocator, file system, display manager, core utilities, etc.) that together make up a functional operating system. Redox relies on an ecosystem of software written in Rust by members of the project.
Command-line applications.
Redox supports command-line interface (CLI) programs, including:
Graphical applications.
Redox supports graphical user interface (GUI) programs, including:
