Alright, granted, this is a little ugly looking, but *does* demonstrate the functioning multiprocess separation for the imminently upcoming lichen-installer overhaul. Next up, "do the roar". Er, wipe the disk/install, that is.

Our rebootstrap is almost complete, with the merged llvm project packages now in, polly fixes landing, and the transition path from x86_64-serpent-linux -> x86_64-aerynos-linux in place. Likely first sync this evening or early morning. :)

Now we're cookin'. Toolchain updates coming over the weekend while we reseed the infra, update core toolchain packages, and swap the host triplet from x86_64-serpent-linux to x86_64-aerynos-linux This will come through in a couple of days as an entirely boring, uneventful update

Don't forget, if you like what we're doing, you can always help us get there a bit faster by supporting us on Ko-fi or Github sponsors: ko-fi.com/aerynos aerynos.com/sponsor/ Immediate goals include the acquisition of more Red Bull, and expanding our infra capacity.

New blog: "AerynOS: The OS As Infrastructure" - We're not just another Linux distro. We're redefining how operating systems work with atomic updates, stateless design, and innovative boot management. Read more: aerynos.com/blog/2025/03... #Linux #OpenSource

Shiny updates this morning include Firefox 136.0.4 and Linux 6.13.9. The 6.14 series will be coming but will need testing before we push it.

Some may be struggling to install the alphas, given we're still shipping the *old* installer (new is WIP). An ESP must exist on a GPT disk for lichen to offer it. Better again, use an XBOOTLDR (`bls_boot`) FAT32 partition if ESP is tiny. We'll use it. Also, *net* installer.. :)

Hello, #AerynOS! So long, #SerpentOS. Same project, just much, much better. Grab the latest 2025.03 ISO with GNOME 48, HDR support, Linux 6.13.8 and a bunch of updates and polishing. aerynos.com/blog/2025/03...

Pulling off the rebrand while maintaining an upgrade path and not requiring *any* manual intervention, whilst doing so atomically, was quite a challenge. Our next blog post will go into how we pulled off the seamless transition. One key component was os-info: github.com/AerynOS/os-i...
