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.

    This actually looks like something really interesting, but it doesn’t say whether it’s based on anything, only “rolling release”. Is this immutable Arch?

      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
