Redox OS 0.8

From the docs:<p>&gt; <i>Redox is a general purpose operating system written in pure Rust. Our aim is to provide a fully functioning Unix-like microkernel, that is both secure and free.</i><p>&gt; <i>We have modest compatibility with POSIX, allowing Redox to run many programs without porting.</i><p>&gt; <i>We take inspiration from Plan9, Minix, Linux, and BSD. Redox aims to synthesize years of research and hard won experience into a system that feels modern and familiar.</i>

&quot;In addition to the exciting technical changes, there is also organizational news to share. Redox OS received a donation of $400,000 (USD). This donation was anonymous, and the way in which it was made anonymous has made it not possible to use at this time. Presently, I am working with a legal team on determining specifically how the OFAC sanctions on Tornado Cash apply to this donation, which was made through Tornado Cash. At present, as I am a US citizen, I have blocked the transfer of this donation in order to comply with potential OFAC sanctions.&quot;<p>Is it me or the author is overly cautious?

Hello, I am Jeremy Soller, the creator of Redox OS. Let me know if you have any questions!

<i>NVMe is supported (via nvmed)</i><p>I&#x27;ve also heard of an experimental Rust NVMe implementation proposed for Linux. I wonder if and hope that these implementations can share code. Perhaps Fuchsia would wish to reuse portions as well.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;lwn.net&#x2F;Articles&#x2F;907685&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;lwn.net&#x2F;Articles&#x2F;907685&#x2F;</a>

Redox is a project I&#x27;m very interested in.<p>I think it has the capability to be the next &quot;just a small hobby project&quot;.

I was trying to make an aarch64 RedoxOS VM a couple weeks ago and ran into some issues, eventually learning that aarch64 seemed like it was in better shape earlier and not quite there for 0.7 (or at least that was my impression). Eventually got it to cross-compile from an x86 box but it then wouldn&#x27;t accept the default login for some reason (an x86 vm worked fine). Will have to give it another shot and see how far I get with 0.8!

I am guessing it can&#x27;t run a browser right? But looking at its capability, what is it missing other than porting of the browser?<p>I hope some rich person donates money to the Servo project, or if the devs can crowdsource funding, I wouldn&#x27;t mind helping.

Can I download Cargo and compile&#x2F;install things? That would be great but I&#x27;ve tried this a few weeks ago in an earlier version and those tools were not available from the package manager.
