>The Unix path format replaced the previous URI format used in our system interfaces, improving compatibility with POSIX/Linux libraries and programs

According to https://www.redox-os.org/news/this-month-240131/#:~:text=Red..., this was done to simplify porting Linux software but the old format is still accessible.


I'll be trying this out, by compiling on Linux and booting it in VirtualBox.


Microkernel multiserver proper.

System architecture matters most.

It is also written mostly in a memory safe language, which helps.


sharing the COSMIC desktop from (with?) the system_76 pop_os! guys is interesting. if a cross platform+ embedded gui kit comes out of this that'd be cool.


Inspired by Plan 9!
