I find the idea of a modern practically usable OS really exciting, so this is awesome!
It says "Drivers run in Userspace" on the front page of Redox - what is the advantage of this? I don't know too much about drivers.

I find the idea of a modern practically usable OS really exciting, so this is awesome!

The advantage is that drivers are isolated in separate processes with fewer permissions.
Looking forward to try Redox one day. Rustlang is the future.
I hope apps in this new OS can be just a single file package which can be downloaded and run. That's one major thing which MacOS (and Windows to some extent) got right. Package managers on Linux are a premature optimization dependency hell..
The Linux distribution packages suffer from dependency hell because the C and C++ dependency management is manual, there's no good dependency manager on the C and C++ programming languages.
While the Rust programming language has automatic dependency management with Cargo, the best dependency manager in the history of computing.
