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!

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
