The Rust-based Redox OS open-source operating system project is out with its October 2025 status report. Most notable is this Rust-based OS now having the Rust-based Servo web engine running… Albeit in extremely crude form at the moment.
After bug fixing and other changes, Servo is now up and running on Redox OS. But at the moment it will crash if a second website is loaded and there is no keyboard input handling yet… So for now not really practical at all but they hope to make more progress soon.
Redox OS has also ported the htop utility to working on their operating system. The caveat there being CPU graphs being currently incorrect.
The GoAccess web log analyzer has also been ported to Redox OS:
Over the past month Redox OS has also made progress on its upcoming “hwb” device daemon for ACPI/DeviceTree usage, the bottom system monitor also ported to Redox OS, and updating their Rust nightly fork to the 1.90.x stable version. Some other milestones for the month include initial keyboard layout configuration, partial systemd service configuration compatibility, RedoxFS partition resizing support, and other kernel and driver improvements.
More details on the October 2025 development highlights for Redox OS via the Redox-OS.org blog.
