This is great! I found SerenityOS after it got posted here a few months ago and I've been keeping up with your videos. Unrelated note, how stable is SerenityOS on baremetal? Would love to have it up & running on a spare desktop in the near future.



Hi Aaronstotle! I don't run it on bare metal myself, but there are a couple of other developers who mess around with it somewhat regularly. You should have a fair chance of getting it running on hardware that's a decade old or so.

There are people actively working on various things like ACPI, AHCI and NVMe right now, but hardware support takes time. That said, things have been moving at a pretty decent pace :)


Yes, I've noticed things have definitely picked up steam in the last six months, especially considering all your security improvements. Is there an irc/chat you and other people hang out in?


Oh indeed, and it's been super fun learning about security!

The main community hub for the project is #serenityos on Freenode :)
