Moss Progress: Package Installation (Again!)

Quick update on the latest progress with moss, our package manager. Ignore the download speeds as I'm using a local repository for testing. Note the "blitting" speed which is the process of creating independent filesystem roots for each ded...

Be Frank: How important is musl to your support of Serpent OS?

Published on September 22, 2020 by Ikey Doherty

We're at a point now where we're benchmarking glibc vs musl performance with Serpent OS, so we're putting the question out there: Is musl what drew you to Serpent OS? Now, there is a lot of friction in terms of merging musl into Serpent OS,...

About


Hey all! I'm Ikey Doherty, founder/leader/"BDFL" for the Serpent OS project. I've been working away on this project for almost 2 years now.

I strongly believe Serpent OS is the disruptive force we need in the Linux world right now, and have built a plethora of tooling to support the engineering of such a project. We're now at the point of rolling a build infrastructure to support our rolling release model, and will be going "live" any day now.

With 4 kids and a less than ideal living situation, I do absolutely everything I can to work on Serpent OS. The time I have that isn't spent parenting and whatnot is spent on Serpent OS, meaning a full time job would completely stall all development work (trust me, I tried =))

So - if you want Serpent OS to succeed as much as I do, and the trusty team we've built around Serpent OS, you can help by ensuring forever-free-status for Serpent OS by investing your contribution in us.
The problems we're solving cannot be done by an established entity that has to satisfy shareholders - we're creating required disruption. Help us today and I'll work my backside off :)

A stable monthly income will guarantee Serpent OS enjoys constant feature development, bug fixes and an unmatched cadence. Thank you! 

Our team
