Redox OS 0.9 Brings COSMIC Apps, Better Performance & Improved Linux App Compatibility

([Operating Systems] 2 Hours Ago Redox OS 0.9)


Redox OS 0.9 has been released today as a big update to this from-scratch Rust-written open-source operating system.

Redox OS 0.9 is a big update with it being quite a while since their prior release. Redox OS 0.9 integrates various apps from the COSMIC desktop environment being developed by System76. Redox OS 0.9 also has "massive" performance and stability improvements compared to prior versions. There is also improved process/thread lifecycle and signaling, clean-ups across its codebase, and "huge" improvements to Linux/BSD program portability.

Besides the screenshot above, the Redox OS project also published a video showing off their latest improvements to this Rust operating system.

Downloads and more details on the plethora of improvements to find with Redox OS 0.9 can be found via [1]Redox-OS.org .

[District Attorneys] learn in District Attorney School that there are
two sure-fire ways to get a lot of favorable publicity:

(1) Go down and raid all the lockers in the local high school and
confiscate 53 marijuana cigarettes and put them in a pile and hold
a press conference where you announce that they have a street value
of $850 million. These raids never fail, because ALL high schools,
including brand-new, never-used ones, have at least 53 marijuana
cigarettes in the lockers. As far as anyone can tell, the locker
factory puts them there.
(2) Raid an "adult book store" and hold a press conference where you
announce you are charging the owner with 850 counts of being a
piece of human sleaze. This also never fails, because you always
get a conviction. A juror at a pornography trial is not about to
state for the record that he finds nothing obscene about a movie
where actors engage in sexual activities with live snakes and a
fire extinguisher. He is going to convict the bookstore owner, and
vote for the death penalty just to make sure nobody gets the wrong
impression.
