Now that Linux is mainstream where do we move to feel elitist? DragonFly BSD? Redox OS?
SerenityOS is "a love letter to '90s user interfaces with a custom Unix-like core".
It's good enough to be proud of, while alienating normal people, not incidentally, like linux used to, but on purpose, like this sentence does, making it a great for elitists.
Perfect. Installing now.
Next year will be SerenityOS desktop year!
Hmm I cannot find some community discussions about this on distrowatch but this looks surely awesome! I always wanted to go back to my childhoods computing interface -- oh god I need that
But what type of kernel is this the new talk about "custom unix-like core"? So this is not linux, it is also not unix? Seems like it would bring me back the same fun of exploring some unknown os, like when I was 7 years old.
TempleOS
Create ExLisperOS and you're good to go.
We just start the distro wars.
I'm on Debian. Is that niche enough?
Nope too mainstream. Try Kali Linux at least.
Did they not rebrand to ParrotOS or smth?
