Redox OS (the Unix-like microkernel OS written in Rust) is working on a native Coreboot payload along with bug fixes and a new release.
Lead Redox OS developer Jeremy Soller tweeted that "it's time for Redox OS to become a Coreboot payload." It looks like Redox OS is working on native Coreboot payload support for this interesting Rust operating system rather than first needing to use one of the bootloaders as a Coreboot payload before hitting Redox OS.
[...] The Redox OS twitter also went on to outline they are working on fixes to their networking stack, fixes to curl / cargo / git, advancing towards the state of being able to self-host itself (build Redox OS on Redox OS), improving the relibc C library implementation, porting more applications to running on Redox OS, and at that point to also prepare a new release. And, yes, exploring Coreboot payload capabilities.

I wish I understood what all the differences are. I don't lnow a coreboot payload from a rootkit. Both sound like I don't want it. "Coreboot" even makes me suspicous in the way that non-profits that call themselves 'freedom' or 'liberty' or 'patriot' are usually one-issue groups seeking to erode the rights of other people. Coreboot in the same way feels like it really means pull shit from a cloud and lock the user out of it because safety.
I am probably wrong, but I am familiar with the whole 'fuck you' mentality in the disparate linux cliques. Maybe that is why it makes me think of those non-profits.
