Y’all just keep crushing it! :100:

I remain hopeful that one day some company will acquire Serenity and ship SerenityOS to millions and millions of people. Idk if that is even aligned with what the people of SerenityOS wish for, but I think it would be very cool if that was to happen :D



>some company will acquire Serenity

JS interpreter on Start Menu when?


I wasn’t thinking of MSFT but sure if that’s what’s gonna happen then that’s what’s gonna happen :)

Who would want to acquire this exactly? This frankly sounds like the most devoid of all comments I have ever read and the furthest from reality.

Any hobbyist OS fanatic would have said the exact same thing about GNU/Hurd, Haiku, HelenOS, ToaruOS, RedoxOS, etc. This is not 2005 anymore.


It is Open Source. Why does it have to be acquired?


Because turning it into a workable product takes time, money and effort.

As brilliant as SerenityOS is, it's still missing huge swaths of functionality people take for granted these days. Things like WiFi and GPU drivers and good audio/video decoders in the web browser, for example.
