I find the idea of a modern practically usable OS really exciting, so this is awesome!

It says "Drivers run in Userspace" on the front page of Redox - what is the advantage of this? I don't know too much about drivers.

The advantage is that drivers are isolated in separate processes with fewer permissions.
