Generation Identitær mfl. holder sommerfest i Gislev på midtfyn 5/7-25.

"En flok bekymrede fynboer" har hængt advarselsplakater op i lokalområdet og kastet maling på adressen.

Lokalavisen har derefter stillet mikrofon til rådigheden for de to facistiske organisatører.

I artiklen lykkes det Anders Skov Johansen og Mette Marie List, at fremstå som ofre og helt fremmede for højrefacistisk tilknytning.

so far, the ONLY operating system aside from #Linux derivatives and #GhostBSD that have worked on my desktop PC is #HaikuOS, which only works in framebuffer mode at limited resolution on the gigantic monitor.

All of these other options have failed:

#Redox, the Rust OS: fails during boot
#ReactOS, the Windows clone: blue screens during boot
#OpenIndiana, some SunOS thingummy: boots if a sufficiently old ISO is used but the mouse doesn't work (an ordinary USB mouse)
#Aros varieties ArosOne and Icaros Desktop: both fail upon booting

fun. #computerswereamistake

Redox OS with Rust gets X11 support!

Redox OS was an independent operating system that was written with Rust to give you performance while ensuring memory safety thanks to Rust and its goals. It’s a microkernel-based general purpose operating system that aims to be Unix-like. Rust is a programming language that aims to be a memory-safe version of C and C++, while being suitable for most applications.

Recently, Redox OS has gotten X11 support and GTK 3 support according to their official blog post. This was done directly in the Orbital display server, which Redox OS internally uses for the GUI to enable user interaction with common applications, such as web browsers. X11 applications can now run on Redox OS using a separate X11 window!

Conceptually, this is similar to how X11 programs run on Wayland on a conventional Linux system using XWayland. Applying the same concept idea to the Orbital display server with X11 applications, you can now run traditional X11 applications.

The DRI backend? Yes! Redox OS also contains this backend to improve rendering performance, and it improves user experience. However, it doesn’t support full graphics acceleration yet, so you can’t run demanding games on it. The Redox OS team expects that this code will become part of their Wayland support.

The GTK 3 toolkit has been ported to Redox OS to allow GTK 3 applications to run on the X11 server. In the same blog post, they’ve even shared how this support worked, using a demo application that uses GTK 3 with the OpenGL support window open. This is to showcase the huge milestone that Redox OS has gone through.

So I'm thinking about #Asterinas which is a kernel written in #Rust and has #Linux compatible ABI. Having Linux compatibility is a great deal as you get most of the support for Linux for free.

I've messaged on their Zulip asking if Milk V Duo could be a good option for porting. I wonder if they've got an active and vibrant community. I haven't received a reply yet.

There is also #Redox but I don't like licensing my code under MIT. And it's an entire OS and not just a kernel.

If you know a community about OS/kernel development and bare metal development as well, I would appreciate an invite.

I just found something interesting and funny about Redox os.

Its operating system written fully in rust. Right?

Rust is created by oxidation of iron in presence of oxygen, in chemistry such reaction is called redox reaction.

Idk sounds funny to me, wonder if it was intentional @redox
Sorry for @ but I'm actually interested was this intentional? @soller
