Be aware that this is a privilege, and abuse of it will burn out the very people building the software you rely on. I have been guilty of this myself, and this is why I am posting far less these days.

One thing that makes FLOSS unique is that you can uniquely identify its developers, read through all of their discussions, watch all their code changes, and often positively contribute to the projects you like.

There is a lot of shared infrastructure, and there is still software that only supports X11.

This all runs inside orbital using a custom X server video driver.

I have ported X11 to Redox OS in order to start working on ports that have previously been too difficult. In the future, we will be rebuilding these with wayland. Here is TWM with gtk3-demo open on the left, the embedded GL example on the right, and xterm behind.

Initial commit of Rustboot-based OS · redox-os/redox@0edea10

On this day, ten years ago, I pushed the first commit of Redox OS: github.com/redox-os/red...

A modified page from the book One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish by Dr. Seuss. On the left side, an image of the creature named Clark. On the right side, the following poem: Look what we found in the park in the dark. We will take him home. We will call him C++. He will live at our house. He will grow and grow. Will our mother like this? We don't know.

I had no idea Dr. Seuss had an opinion on C++
