No doubt! Redox will be the future great operating system. Good design, smart tools, and a very good programming language as Rust. Microkernel is a security thing, and of course it will be better for maintenance because it has a little line code number. Redox have a great team working on it. Go ahead, team; of course, good job. A very well done job. I will install it on one of my laptops. I need to re read the manuals again to understand it better. Really, its a pleasure to work with this piece of art. All open-source communities must support it.

Pretty good operating system, especially for being a non-Linux based one. I used the live disk, because the actual install doesn't support all systems. It's what it says it is: a simple desktop operating system. Does what you need it to.
