| Wow, that's impressive work. Kudos to Andreas for building a

|
| I'm equally amazed and horrified that they're building a web
| browser. It seems easier to build the native OS.

| Not a HN thread but he posts monthly project updates very

| I love Andreas's YouTube channel, such a nice and relaxing stream

| I've been following Andreas on Youtube for quite some time. It is
| a monumental undertaking to write a completely new OS from
| scratch, and I admire his perserverence so far.
|
| He has managed to make a worthy tribute to both UNIX and old
| Windows aesthetic style. And he did it almost all alone. Of
| course, Serenity OS is now a living, breathing community, just as
| it should be.
|
| BTW, the guy has even ported DOOM, old DukeNukem and freakin'
| Diablo 1 to his OS. Mad respect to Andreas, Serenity is truly a
| work of genius.

| The list of people speaking at Handmade Seattle as well as the
| topics sounds absolutely fantastic. So many conferences are
| either too corporate with presentations that are mostly flashy
| marketing, or they are technical but there's only like 2 or 3
| people giving a genuinely solid talk. This conference looks like
| it has everything, great speakers and great topics.

| I first heard about SerenityOS via HN years ago, it's been
| incredible to watch Andreas' journey from hobby project to
| working on it full-time.
|
| His hacking sessions on youtube are also great.
| slekker wrote:
| Everything is so snappy and fast and feels lightweight, I wish
| there were Linux distributions focusing on these kind of
| aesthetics
| burky wrote:
| I'm just as interested in his journey that brought him here as I
| am with this OS. So amazing!
| dmitrygr wrote:
| Ow, that hit me right in the feels! That wonderful UI. That
| wonderful amazing UI!
|
| No light grey on dark grey text, no borderless buttons, no
| pointless 45% width margins.

| Damn, the GUI brought back sweet memories. The OS as a whole
| looks nice too.
| squarefoot wrote:
| Yes, and it's a very functional GUI: well thought, informative,
| rational, with every section put where it belongs. It comes
| from an era in which GUIs were made to solve problems. I hope
| it will never ever ever go the path that GTK took after version
| 2.

| Very excited to watch.

| If you haven't checked them out, I highly recommend checking out
| Andreas YouTube channel [1]. It's the most interesting
| programming content I've ever watched - and I feel like he's
| honestly taught me a lot about programming!

| I don't have anything profound to say, but I love alternative

| The one I usually recommend for people to check out is Haiku

| Awesome to see that you're doing well, Andreas!
