Marking 21 Years Of Covering Linux Hardware

Phoronix has made it another year. Today marks 21 years since I started Phoronix.com with a focus on providing Linux hardware reviews. Linux hardware support is a night and day difference then to today as is the overall ecosystem with all the major hardware vendors these days having some -- often significant -- levels of interest in Linux support. No longer is it typically a worry of whether your mouse,…

Rust-Based Redox OS Begins Implements X11 Support, GTK3 Port

For those not liking the direction of the Linux desktop with its Wayland-first focus, the Rust-written Redox OS has begun rolling out X11 support within its Orbital display server...

in reply to Phoronix

Well, for an OS build with Rust, adding X11 seems wrong.
in reply to Phoronix

So Redox will become just another "linux distro" just with the custom kernel... That's exactly what we need... 🙄 There are still Linux distros not wayland-focused, so why using Redox? Redox should use it's own tech stack, own GUI just to make it consistent. Using x11, gtk and other stuff from Linux is just repeating Linux's problems
