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 was created because c++ was so bad. Just take a look at crates they need a whole lot less maintenance because less bugs.

      My point wasn’t that C++ is good. My point was that C++ can and is used everywhere (desktop applications, web applications, OSs,…) and is older than Rust. So I feel that “this is the first general purpose language that can be used for all projects” is false. Probably “this is the first general purpose language that I (and many others) like to use for all projects” is true, but is a different claim.

      TLDR: You said Rust was first language capable of system, app and web, it isn’t.

        It is good and rust improves on its gaping weaknesses.

        Yeah I never made that claim the threads OP did.
