Someday I hope SerenityOS will be well developed enough to run on bare metal and not in a VM

Serenity OS felt like coming home after way too long and realizing there's no place like home.

it is amazing just how pleasant the interface is for the programs in it
it is like using Windows 2000-era stuff, but ever so slightly modernized

I honestly wish I could use it as a day-to-day system. It just feels good to use.

Because computers are God's gift to humanity, therefore programmers must be prophets sent to spread His light to the unenlightened masses. 🙏 ☝

being like linux without actually being linux appears to be a selling point

you can! hell, I've done it
but at no point did it feel like a cohesive system like Serenity does
everything fights you the whole way (particularly the amount of different UI toolkits on use, but then there are the UI design differences between applications that don't feel like old-school Windows at all)

you probably could get that result without writing our own underlying kernel and shit, but you'd be constantly tempted to just ship the same disparate batch of existing software found in any random Linux distro so you can have a usable system now, which is probably why no one has done it
