Not yet, but I’m really impressed with both their design and their rate of progress. It’s about the only desktop / server OS I’m actually excited about these days.
I don't, but I looked into it last month. It's surprisingly easy to build and patch. However, the codebase has tens of thousands of linter warnings (including actual UB) which doesn't inspire confidence, so I started sending patches to fix them.

I’m curious if anyone is using Redox as their primary OS or even regularly. Would love to hear some first-person experiences about it.

I feel much the same way, Redox is very cool; it's also one of the projects I'm thinking of contributing to.

One of the reasons I've been learning Rust!
I like the design a lot, but I always struggle with a nice "why use redox" pitch.
So I'm hoping that contributing can help with creating one.

I suspect not as primary, as USB devices are mostly unsupported, and GPU is software rendering through firmware-provided framebuffer.
Similarly disk drivers support seems limited, although AHCI and NVMe should at least cover most...
