For users who want to try Linux, I recommend this: Do not listen to people who tell you to use Ubuntu, Linux Mint or other variants. They all use the same complex and often breaking mechanisms, and can cause a lot of hassle.

Instead, I recommend these systems:

- #Fedora #AtomicDesktops
- #UniversalBlue #Aurora #Bluefin #Bazzite
- #HeliumOS

Looking forward to #SerpentOS too!

These systems are reliable like an Android phone, while offering you more freedom.

Serpent OS Renamed to AerynOS Amid Funding Struggles

Before its first stable release, Serpent OS has been renamed AerynOS. Founder Ikey Doherty cites the need for a more positive identity. However, financial troubles continue to slow development. Doherty, known for Solus OS, has faced similar challenges in the past. The transition to AerynOS is set for March 17, 2025—ironically, St. Patrick’s Day, known for driving out snakes.

FOSS Force · Before It Even Gets a Stable Release, Serpent OS Changes Its Name To AerynOS - FOSS ForceAny article about Serpent OS or Solus OS (or now, AerynOS), is first and foremost and article about Ikey Doherty.

After about 9 years of using Linux Mint I discovered Solus in November 2016 and I was hooked. Through IRC and the forum @ikey and I became good friends.
Knowing I would be visiting Ireland with Arianna in October 2018 I arranged to meet with Ikey in Tullamore, County Offaly. Unfortunately for us, he had to move to England a few months before our visit. Arianna still visited the town and had a great time touring around.
I am still using Solus these days, on my Razer Blade 15 laptop, with PCLinuxOS on my main desktop. The team are maintaining and developing the OS really well. Budgie remains my DE for that distro.
Ikey is now working with a team on Serpent OS, a wonderful Linux project that I have been following. https://serpentos.com/ This project will soon be renamed to AerynOS.
Do yourself a favour and try out the live-USB for yourself. You will be impressed!!

This month Ikey was a guest on the YouTube show Tech Over Tea.
https://youtu.be/8HHLe2GcxNw
Of course I was interested, and now listening to the whole 2 hour episode.
Language warning: It's Ikey. There shall be some f-bombs in the conversation flow.
He remains as one of the most intelligent people I knew, and makes Linux development sound easy. Half of the time I have no idea what he is on about, but I enjoy listening to him.

Remember how less than a week ago we were all like "hey we're gonna do offline rollbacks" and folks were all "you're *exploring* ...." :P

Hey look, offline rollbacks!

serpentos.com/blog/2025/01/04/

Serpent OS · Offline Rollbacks EnabledIf a picture tells a thousand words… well then this video .. Yknow what, sod it. Here’s a video of the offline rollback support in action, as tested in a newly installed VM using xfs for the root filesystem. We jokingly refer to this as the “LTT” test due to LinusTechTips’ “interesting encounters” with package management systems in the past. This has already landed in our volatile repository, so simply sudo moss sync -u and grab the latest updates. Any subsequent transactions will automatically generate the boot entries for you, no intervention required. Or mounting. Or anything. Just update and go. Srsly. We actually saw this as a golden standard for the feature, as it’s a real-world scenario where you’d want to roll back to a known good state. The video shows the system booting and recovering in multiple ways, from complete system nuke (via glibc) and simpler scenarios like removal of the GNOME desktop environment. The intent is to ensure a user can quickly revert to the last transaction that worked in the instance an update goes awry, without needing to boot into a rescue environment or live CD.

Two alpha ISOs in one year?? We're getting alright at this malarkey, lads.

serpentos.com/blog/2024/12/29/

Serpent OS · Alpha Refresh AvailableIn response to feedback from the community, we’re issuing a refresh of the Alpha 1 release, 0.24.6. This refresh includes a number of key updates and improvements, including: Now works with etcher Fractional scaling enabled by default Prebuild icon theme caches to speed up trigger execution (except for hicolor) Add new moss boot status command for introspection into blsforme functionality Fix amdgpu initialisation for older devices, previously leading to black screen on boot Clarification on moss boot management Frequently in Team Serpent we joke that moss is the “systemd of package managers”.
