Redshirt is an experimental operating system written in Rust where all executables are WebAssembly programs loaded from an IPFS-like decentralized peer-to-peer network. It includes a freestanding kernel, interface wrapper crates for Wasm programs, and sample Wasm applications.
Use cases
- build an operating system where all programs are wasm modules
- experiment with loading executables from a decentralized p2p network
- research wasm-based kernel design
- run a rust kernel in qemu for osdev learning
- explore ipfs-like software distribution at the os level
When to choose
- you want to experiment with a wasm-only, p2p-distributed operating system
- you are researching novel OS architectures in Rust
- you want a hobby OS project to contribute to
When to avoid
- you need a production-ready operating system
- you require stable tooling - it needs nightly Rust and is a personal experiment
- you need broad hardware or driver support
