Design
The Redox operating system is designed to be secure. This is reflected in two design decisions:- Using the programming language Rust for implementation
- Using a microkernel design, similar to MINIX
Components
Redox provides packages (memory allocator, file system, display manager, core utilities, etc.) that together make up a functional operating system. Redox relies on an ecosystem of software written in Rust by members of the project.- Redox kernel â derives from the concept of microkernels, with inspiration from MINIX
- Ralloc â memory allocator
- TFS file system â inspired by the ZFS file system
- Ion shell â the underlying library for shells and command execution in Redox, and the default shell
- pkgutils â package manager
- Orbital windowing system â display and window manager, sets up the orbital: scheme, manages the display, and handles requests for window creation, redraws, and event polling
- relibc â C standard library
Command-line applications
Redox supports command-line interface (CLI) programs, including:- Sodium â vi-like editor that provides syntax highlighting
Graphical applications
Redox supports graphical user interface (GUI) programs, including:- NetSurf â a lightweight web browser which uses its own layout engine
- Calculator â a software calculator which provides functions similar to the Windows Calculator program
- Editor â simple text editor, similar to Microsoft Notepad
- File Browser â a file manager that displays icons, names, sizes, and details for files; uses the launcher command to open files when they are clicked
- Image Viewer â Image viewer for simple file types
- Pixelcannon â 3D renderer, can be used to benchmark the Orbital desktop
- Orbterm â ANSI type terminal emulator
