So why haven't you made the switch, Lainon?

>Hipster, obscure
And how is that an advantage?
Otherwise seems to be a meme.
Can it run a "modern" browser, libreoffice, virtualization software, development tools?

As it IS unix it could theoretically run any one of those programs you've just mentioned AND it does come with a browser. It's a part of the base SereneInstall process, it's not par with microsoft edge, I've used it a lot in recent times.

Looks pretty comfy IMO. Meme or not, totally up my alley. Might spin it on a VM and take a look

Looks intriguing, I think I'll spin this before trying Linux.

Every alternative OS starts at a disadvantage. It has to be used and vitalized to actually get support and grow. It's like flowers, they don't grow if they don't get watered.

More like growing a cactus that you have to stare at every day for hours.

Eunuchs are pretty poggers, it's amazing how much easier portability is when you cut the massive balls off the OS.

>SerenityOS is a love letter to '90s user interfaces
Great, another fuarrrking OS for nostalgia glitterboys
>suckless by design
Everything is possible when you lie. There's nothing suckless about it
>This is a system by us, for us, based on the things we like.
>Hipster, obscure, and made by techheads for techheads
I seriously doubt that gaywads with boners for soykafty underground OS's are techheads, they're NEET's that gonna distrohop as soon as they find another, more obscure, distro.
>So why haven't you made the switch, Lainon?
Because my computer isn't a toy and I have work to do, work that uses software that isn't ported to soykafty hispter OS's.

Wow you seem to be carrying a lot of hatred in that heart of yours. Maybe you should make the Brave decision and switch to a more Serene way of living?

Seems like an fed backdoor infested trap like anom, I'll pass.

> No ISOs available
> No support for most software and games
> Still requires a laptop to use, a laptop which is backdoored by Intel ME or AMD PSP
Should have been a desktop environment with it's own fork of GTK.
