"RedoxOS is a special kind of Linux distribution that uses a microkernel and is written in Rust. For those who don't know, Rust is a programming language well-known for being fast. I've been using System76's COSMIC desktop environment, which is also written in Rust and is lightning fast. Imagine an entire OS written in that same language. That's what RedoxOS is, and it's zippy. This is, hands down, the fastest operating system that I've ever used."
"Apps open in the blink of an eye, and everything works so smoothly. Part of the reason for this speed is the minimal number of applications that are preinstalled, which also means fewer background services are running. There is one issue with RedoxOS that might give you pause: it's not quite finished. Yes, you can install the OS and use it, but you'll quickly wind up frustrated as the features that don't work start to accumulate."
Linux offers many lightweight distributions designed to run well on older hardware and maximize speed without necessarily sacrificing features and integration. RedoxOS uses a microkernel architecture and is written in Rust, delivering exceptionally fast performance and snappy application launch times. The OS ships with a minimal set of preinstalled applications, reducing background services and improving responsiveness. RedoxOS remains in early development (currently at release 0.9.0), so several features are incomplete and users may encounter frustrations. Despite its immaturity, the OS provides an unmatched speed experience and is worth installing to evaluate performance.
