I don't care, you are here throwing tantrums and name-calling like a 5 year old while my comments are being downvoted at the same time. I told you what my views about SerenityOS, Ladybird and Andreas are and you insist I'm wrong a

The only ones who wasted time are the SerenityOS contributors themselves with the bait-and-switch, I'm really not interested to hear about his sob story about why he started it when he has shown that he doesn't care about anyone e

You are the one assuming things wrongly about me, you know absolutely nothing about what I know and don't. Am I not allowed to say anything anymore? I know what SerenityOS is and what it's trying to do, I just think it's unre

> SerenityOS has no business running on Linux, but a fork could be pretty neat for 90s GUI lovers. Take a look at labwc, the look and feel is similar to Openbox and can be made to look retro-like. Xfce will also come with Wayland support

> SerenityOS's WindowServer is actually more usable than Wayland I find that very difficult to believe, how exactly is it more usable? Serenity would benefit a lot sitting on top of a Linux kernel in my opinion.

Just refactor SerenityOS, take its DE and make it a Wayland compositor, stop reinventing the wheel. Ladybird realized this, why can't SerenityOS do the same?

I don't know how and why people still take this guy seriously, let alone throw money at his projects. Andreas has demonstrated time and time again that he can't keep his word. He says one thing and does things differently. That wo

Linux handles USB devices a lot better than other systems, it also has built-in drivers for pretty much every hardware out there. I'm not surprised.

According to statscounter statistics. As of July 2024 Linux is currently sitting at an all-time high of 4.45%! This is a 91% increase since June 2024 and if the trend continues we should break 5% soon, hopefully breaking off the single digi
