Redox developer ports X11 and GTK |
 |
The Redox OS project, which works to make a modern Unix-like operating system in Rust, published its May newsletter. The newsletter mentions Redox OS is hiring a developer for kernel development and other various tasks. The project also shared that X11 support has been ported to the young operating system. "Jeremy Soller has implemented X11 support in the Orbital display server!! This allows programs using X11 to work on Redox without changes to the GUI code. The mechanism for X11 support is conceptually similar to how Wayland supports X11 programs through XWayland. He also enabled the DRI backend to improve rendering performance, although it does not yet fully support graphics acceleration. It is expected that this code will become part of our Wayland support." The GTK3 development toolkit, widely used for making GNOME applications, has also been ported to Redox.
