[Redox](https://www.redox-os.org) is an open-source operating system written in Rust, a language with focus on safety, efficiency and high performance. Redox uses a microkernel architecture, and aims to be reliable, secure, usable, correct, and free. Redox is inspired by previous operating systems, such as seL4, MINIX, Plan 9, Linux and BSD.

Redox _is not_ just a kernel, it's a **full-featured operating system**, providing components (file system, display server, core utilities, etc.) that together make up a functional and convenient operating system. Redox uses the COSMIC desktop apps, and provides source code compatibility with many Rust, Linux and BSD programs.
