This isn’t Linux, but Linux-like. Its a microkernel built from the rust programming language. Its still experimental, but I think it has great potential. It has a GUI desktop, but the compiler isn’t quite fully working yet.
Has anyone used this before? What was your experience with it?
Note: If this is inappropriate since this isn’t technically Linux, mods please take down.
Having some hardware mentioned on the site that is supported and ready for use could be helpful if someone wants to try it (say raspberry pi), There are probably people who are worried to will make their computer explode.

The fact that they support any real hardware at all is impressive. A lot of experimental OSes (I’m think of Serenity in particular) usually only support whatever hardware Qemu is emulating, and maybe a couple other things that are partially supported that a developer played around with a few times.
