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.

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.

Perfect. Installing now.

Next year will be SerenityOS desktop year!
