I've been watching Redox on and off since its inception, and I must say I'm really impressed at what it has achieved till now. It is a fully functional OS with binutils, terminal, calculator etc, and this is a win for the whole FOSS culture.

What are the potential areas where Redox could be beneficial ? I would love to run on Raspberry pi, older Androids or Routers etc. Is it doable?

I'm also curious about the benefits that redox offers vis-a-vis bare metal Linux (Alpine/Void etc)?

Security (Redox' stems form the language, Linux' stems from being widely used). Hackability (smaller, more modern, more hackable language). Simplicity.

To put apps on VMs with a very tight and secure OS underneath.

Hmm. Have you bounced off ideas with the Qubes OS team yet? It could be an option for the core OS/microkernel of Qubes OS.


And/or, maybe even better, with the GenodeOS team?
