Reading it may be a good idea if you are interested in this Rust-based OS. Redox has a somewhat in-depth book titled the Redox book with chapters titled Why Redox? and the kernel. Redox's homepage is at The 0.5.0 release can be downloaded from It's just 50 MB. Jeremy Soller at the American hardware company System76 claimed Redox OS was "a few months of work away" from being a self-hosted operating system (=an operating system can be used to compile itself) in an interview with The Register in November, 2019 Testing The Technology It is, as of v0.5.0, nowhere near the point where regular people can do anything useful with it. Redox is not anywhere near mature enough to be any kind of alternative to Windows or FreeBSD or GNU/Linux distributions like Debian and Manjaro Linux.
#Supertux 0.5.0 install#
Go with something else if you would like to quickly install some operating system which just works so you can get work done. Redox is, from a casual end-user perspective, too difficult to use as of v0.5.0. If you are a developer are you are very interested in the Rust programming language and you'd like a hobby then Redox development may be for you. Don't expect smooth video playback (there are, of course, no video players) or sound. Redox will show graphics using the VESA standard all graphics cards support.
#Supertux 0.5.0 drivers#
It does not have any hardware accelerated drivers for graphics cards. SuperTux version: 0.5.0 rc3 System information: Ubuntu 16. It may or may find your network interface. Version 0.5.0 (with Forest World being in story mode) will be released in December 20, 2038. But again, non-free sample is found even in SuperTux. You can, with some time and effort, install Redox on a x86-64 computer and boot it. Mega Mario is a much more complete Mario engine thats also FOSS - though it uses Nintendo artwork (or Nintendo-derived artwork), as well as non-free games. There are some additional packages available for Redox but the selection is extremely limited and not at all useful. None of the bundled programs are very good or advanced, they seem to be there to show developers who may be interested in Redox from a technical perspective that it works and applications for it can be written. You can browse the more basic websites using it's built-in browser and there's also an editor, a file manager, a terminal and a document viewer. It has a graphical environment with a window manager and a few bare-bones applications. Redox has managed to get a working microkernel with the most basic support in place.

It may sound like it has been around long enough to become a mature operating system but that's not the case, five years is not much for a free software operating system. That makes it four and a half years old as of December 2019. Redox was initially released on April 20, 2015.
