Redox running on a mobile phone |
 |
A lot of people are interested in running a GNU/Linux distribution on their smartphones, but there are other mobile-friendly projects in the world. One open source operating system which has quietly gained ground in recent years is Redox OS and it can, to a point, run on some mobile devices. Paul Sajna writes: "I had the pleasure of going to RustConf 2025 in Seattle this year. During the conference, I met lots of new people, but in particular, I had the pleasure of spending a large portion of the conference hanging out with Jeremy Soller of Redox and System76. Eventually, we got chatting about EFI and bootloaders, and my contributions to PostmarketOS, and my experience booting EFI-based operating systems (Linux) on smartphones using U-Boot. Redox OS is also booted via EFI, and so the nerdsnipe began. Could I run Redox OS on my smartphone the same way I could run postmarketOS Linux? Spoilers, yes." There are some serious limitations though as Redox OS lacks a driver to work with the phone's touch screen.
