This is the best summary I could come up with:
Jeremy Soller who is an engineer at System76 and manages a side hustle of leading development on the open-source, Rust-written Redox OS has shared the latest look at this open-source operating system with the System76 COSMIC desktop applications.
Redox OS down to its micro-kernel is leveraging Rust and thus the COSMIC apps – also leveraging Rust – are a great fit for this open-source OS.
Here’s a look at Redox OS from a few years ago when I last gave it a shot, rather basic:
Now here’s the latest look at Redox OS that Solley posted to X with the caption "This is Redox OS, a Rust and micro-kernel based operating system that I created, running three COSMIC DE apps (with only Rust dependencies) that I authored.
Jeremy in follow-up comments also added that they still need to port DRM kernel graphics drivers to make gaming more viable and self-hosting is “very close”.
Nice job to those that continue to be involved in this from-scratch Rust-written open-source OS.

You are completely useless, my dear bot. The article has less words than your explanation.

This is a far cry from big news, considering they’ve got so much trouble even keeping the kernel stable enough to run for long periods of time if not on a very specific spec of hardware.
I’ll get excited to try it when they start refactoring , get a non-insane structure in place, and get a bigger list of supported hardware into the kernel. I’m still confused on why they’re working on a server version already without the above anyway. Cart before the horse.

Lol
Such an awesome project.
Right? They might even replace GNOME.
