The Redox OS project, an open-source operating system built with Rust, has made significant advancements in October 2024. Notably, RISC-V architecture is now supported, allowing Redox OS to run with a desktop environment under the QEMU emulator. Additionally, Redox OS has successfully booted on the Raspberry Pi 4, reaching the login screen, although USB support and other functionalities are still in development. The project has also integrated the COSMIC Store, updated various ACPI drivers, and enabled the pkgar package format by default. Furthermore, software such as LuaJIT has been ported to the operating system. These updates reflect the ongoing efforts to enhance Redox OS's capabilities and compatibility.
