What is Redox OS?

Redox OS is a Unix-like operating system written in Rust, designed with a focus on security, freedom, reliability, correctness, and pragmatism. It utilizes a microkernel architecture, meaning most drivers and services run in user space, which enhances security. Redox OS differentiates itself by treating everything as a file or a URL, using a unified approach to handle different system resources through a segmented file system. This design choice enables each file system path to identify which subsystem to interact with, whether it's networking, windowing, or others, all implemented predominantly by user space processes rather than the kernel 1 2 3.
