Hello 2025

TL;DR: Serpent OS is facing funding challenges but development continues. Alpha2 is coming soon with an improved installer. We’re seeking community support through donations and volunteers for key roles. Our technical roadmap includes versioned repositories, immutable OS features, and improved package management workflows. We had a flurry of activity around the Christmas period, including our first alpha release as well as enabling offline rollbacks early in January. We’re actively working on alpha2, but we also need to talk about the elephant in the room.

      SerpentOS is it’s own thing. It’s from the same guy who made Solus which was also it’s own thing.

      Look up Ikey Doherty if you want to know more.

      From my experience with Solus, I don’t have high hopes for SerpentOS but I’d love to be wrong about that

    The lead developer, Ikey, has created two distributions before and a desktop environment. He gets far in a rather short amount of time and catches a lot of attention then loses interest and vanishes. While he is a very skilled developer, I wouldn’t personally want to be invested in anything he creates out of fear that the pattern repeats.

    Its one of the most interesting distribution projects in the last 5 years? So if you are interested in it, check if you have some spare coins and support them.
