Now that Linux is mainstream where do we move to feel elitist? DragonFly BSD? Redox OS?

[-] anton@lemmy.blahaj.zone 17 points 2 months ago

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.

[-] ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 9 points 2 months ago

Perfect. Installing now.

Next year will be SerenityOS desktop year!

I thought it was not recommended to run on bare metal? There are some other obscure OSes that can run fine on bare metal (although Serenity is not really obscure in the foss space, only in the mainstream)

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.

One could alternatively run GNU hurd, then you also get Debian but also cachè

The real elites shall forever be the Plan9 group. There's dozens of users! Dozens!

[-] Nikelui@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

We just start the distro wars.

[-] ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 3 points 2 months ago

I'm on Debian. Is that niche enough?

[-] Nikelui@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

Nope too mainstream. Try Kali Linux at least.

[-] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 3 points 2 months ago

Did they not rebrand to ParrotOS or smth?

[-] azimir@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 months ago

Again? It used to be called something else even further back.

It must be part of the "security through making it hard to search for online" strategy.

[-] swelter_spark@reddthat.com 1 points 2 months ago

Kali and Parrot were two separate distros last time I used Parrot.

[-] Bluewing@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

The Distro Wars have already been raging for decades now.

[-] TroublesomeTalker@feddit.uk 6 points 2 months ago

I preordered a Jolla. Chasing that "0.6 % Other" high.

[-] Hadriscus@jlai.lu 4 points 2 months ago

HaikuOS

[-] muhyb@programming.dev 3 points 2 months ago

Create ExLisperOS and you're good to go.
