> No Soistemd > No Red Hat shills > No backdoors > Completely Self-Made > Fully Functional Desktop far better than KDEor GNOME > 100% Libre Software > Hipster, obscure, and made by techheads for techheads > Suckless by design So why haven't you made the switch, Lainon?

>>51684 >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?

>>51685 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

>>51684 Looks intriguing, I think I'll spin this before trying Linux. >>51692 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.

>>51705 More like growing a cactus that you have to stare at every day for hours.

>>51692 Eunuchs are pretty poggers, it's amazing how much easier portability is when you cut the massive balls off the OS.

From their website >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.

>>51714 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.
