Hi folks,
I just stumbled upon an Article in Phoronix mentioning Serpent OS:
Very honestly, seeing what you can do to recover from a non runable system as is shown in the video, I wanted to give it a go.
Alas, following the instructions, I didn’t manage to get it to boot.
Seems that an booting an ISO off a USB stick is not working.
Hi! We’re very lucky in that Framework sent us a 13, amd configuration, so a good bit of enabling is done. Re cosmic: new packages coming soon and weve isolated most integration issues, but ofc still alpha.
Any issues please let us know, and feel free to jump on our github or matrix
I’ve been using SerpentOS on my Framwork 13 since August. It’s already come along way and honestly, I never felt like it was a “pre-alpha” in so many regards other than the repo not being fleshed out. Given that you can use flathub out of the box now, a large part of that challenge is mitigated until the repo is ready to expand.
The package manger (moss) is very very quick, I love not having to reboot for each and every app to take and for a pre-alpha and now alpha, honestly the best compliment I can give it is that it doesn’t really stand out, it works as a distro should work without any random crashes or reboots.
As soon as I have my nvme expansion board, I will test it out.
I will yet have to get used to the entire environment. It’s like going from RPM to deb packages for me. But as I’m doing this since late 1992, that should be Ok
You by chance have a “cheat sheet” for your package manager moss ? Thanks
I’ll definitely go there If you see a Haley show up, that’s me
Moss commands are very similar to Solus commands although you don’t upgrade, you sync. Moss has a help command built in so it’s also pretty easy to get up to speed from that too if you’re less familiar with eopkg from Solus.
