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.

    Rust needs to fix an epic tonne of issues automagically to compete with a kernel that’s had millions of debugging hours on it, irrespective of language. Yes, Rust removes a whole class of errors that can occur in C, but I doubt it removes so many that it can compete with the wide, decade long usage patterns the Linux kernel has been through.
