This is tested against Redox OS daily image of Jan 31, 2026.

Booted from GRUB (dual boot with Linux)
Mouse, Keyboard, Display working smoothly
Disk does not work, need to boot to live mode
Networking does not work
The bootloader VGA is corrupted over VNC, need to just blindly hit enter after booting from GRUB.

Using my QEMU CLI Generator, I explore how Linux OS is usable within many virtualization and hardware. Useful to track if linux really works or my CLI setup is bogged.

Test as of: Jan 24, 2026, using Pop!_OS 24.

Kind	Boot to disk?	Notes

There are three things you need to know in Redox build system to achieve full offline build system.

Fetch source files as much as possible

The first thing that you need to do is fetch as many package sources that you might want to download before going offline. I recommend following these steps:

Set CONFIG_NAME=ci. It will match to all packages proven to build correctly
Run make fetch. It will download all of them without building it

After fetch is done you can revert CONFIG_NAME to a kind of image you wish to build.

[WIP] Building Aarch64 Redox OS from Mac M1

Here's how you build Redox from Mac in May 2025. It's so much easier to do it now than in ancient days.

The only problem you may encounter is packaging the build, since it requires FUSE and it's requires patching Mac kernel, which I don't want. I (trying) develop a way to avoid it by using Podman only for that.

I run with UTM on QEMU virtualization. It works for me.

This notes is WIP, see https://gist.github.com/willnode/a31a1265d955dbb914001aba8a576ad2 for Redox OS native bootstrapping

	# A script to generate Redox syscalls in Go source files, put this script to "src" folder
	# You must have Redox build system in $HOME/redox with "prefix" generated
	# You must have "$ARCH-unknown-redox-gcc" in your PATH, add it from Redox build system
	# mkerrors: You need to patch "$CC" to "gcc" at the bottom of the script, also "$(uname)" to "Redox"
	# mkerrors: You need to comment out "#include <netinet/ip6.h>" and "#include <sys/signal.h>" since Redox doesn't have it
