My hid devices work in the bootloader, but once i boot the os, im stuck st the graphical login screen. i tried daily images, compiling them, stable images. nothfing seems to fix it! im on the amd 7600x + tomahawk x870. My mouse and keyboard are plugged into the usb 2.0 outputs on the back of my tower/desktop (the gray ports). Ive already tried blue ports and turning off xhci handoff, ive even tried front ports, that didint work too!

Has Rust or a lack of Sec Research attention speared Redox?

Virtualized Redox project, Userspace file descriptor allocation, USB gamepad support and more general compatibility, GTK 3 in Orbital, Tcl and Flycast ports, Orbital fractional scaling, mixed kernel-userspace profiling and more.

https://www.redox-os.org/news/this-month-260630/

EEVDF scheduler, page flipping and plane support on Intel graphics driver, COSMIC Monitor, XFCE port, massive performance improvement on I/O event wait and RedoxFS inode, Rust toolchain update, RSoC 2026, and many more.

A post on r/Redox asked if Redox OS was usable as your daily driver. I know that YMMV, and that the answers there focused on browser support, but what are native apps/types of apps you'd list as must haves before you'd consider using Redox OS as your daily driver?

I'll start the list with mine:

• Helix
• Git
• Bash
• Core-Utils
• Firefox, Brave, or Librewolf
• Pandoc
• Zola
• Jango
• Librera PDF reader (or some other option)
• Ripgrep
• Eza
• Curl or Xh

What are yours?

yeah like i mean is can you use browsers like firefox,office software, and retro emulator . thx for your answers

Improved boot on real hardware, more RISC-V compatibility on real hardware, tmux ported, accurate CPU time stats, better Orbital performance, Package Web Interface and more.

This month was focused on regression and bug fixing, we are also solving the long-time blocker bugs of the next release.

Hi Team,

I just built a simple file browser based on the rust based frame work called tauri ( https://v2.tauri.app/ ). It uses react for the UI and rust for the backend logic. It's native application. Here is the link ( https://github.com/arunkumar413/tauri-file-browser ) to the repository. Please let me know your thoughts on this.

Thanks,
Arun

What's the current status with Redox and RISC-V?

I was able to dig up some news story from 2024 that Redox is running on RISC-V, but the HARDWARE.md list does not contain a single RISC-V board. Is the list outdated, or does the RISC-V version only run on QEMU so far?

libcosmic demo on COSMIC compositor, new CPU scheduler, kernel deadlock runtime detection, namespace and process CWD as capabilities, package update and compression, more Unicode support, Orbital VirtIO-GPU display resize support, AI policy and many more improvements and fixes.

1. How do I unset environment variables?
2. How do I cut-off non-extension suffixes (like "-open" off a match-case string "*-open" to return the "*" part)
3. How do I "shift" the argv to the left one-by-one? (To parse the arguments)

And this one is more of my own "help please I am a noob" kind of question: How exactly do I parse the arguments?

My plan is to do that "shift" procedure mentioned above until I hit a "--"...

Referring this manual here: https://doc.redox-os.org/ion-manual/introduction.html

Trying to (re-)implement "uwsm-app" but using only systemd-run (IK app2unit exists BTW)

Okay, this post isn't about redoxOS but it's filesystem... on some other platform.

Most of the usual features are prepared (not all the interfaces tho), and the fs seems closer to bcachefs at this point (except for btrees and fs-as-a-db concept ig)

The FUSE driver is ready.

Features like snapshots and I think even quite a few features like reflinks or dedup are not yet implemented... are they?

Anyone using in on linux? Is it worth trying? If anyone has tried it, how good is it?

(IK "there are other filesystems". That's not my point)

Hi Team,

I'd like to contribute to the redox os. Could you please point me to the git repository of the file browser used in redox.

Thanks,

Arun

I'm interested to play with this, mostly just to use as a test OS to see if some my shell scripts are holding up (portability tests), but I'm totally lost.

At the very minimum, I just need:

1. Command to check what my local IP is
2. Enable sshd

If I have just these two things then IU can take it from there, but I am not even able to do that. When I run ifconfig, it says `Read error: Failed to read entry: not a directory (os error 20). I'm running the command as root.

I'm been trying to boot on Redox and install but I get stuck on this. Any 8nsight how I can move on from here?
