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...

Following up on the new planner module in the #disksrs partitioning crate, we've added the initial `strategy` module for computing disk use strategies including wiping the disk and starting anew, using free extents, etc.

Sometimes when you've worked on a project long enough, useful conventions and patterns emerge. Some times though, this happens. ("Approved in spirit")

Hot on the heels of.. well pretty much everything we've done lately ... XD Shown here is a PoC *rust* packagekitd plugin (libpk_backend_moss.so) using our privileged_ipc crate to talk to a helper process (spawned on demand). TLDR moss will expose an IPC API. Data shown is mock.
0101
Serpent OS @serpentos.bsky.social · 12/01/2025
Working on packagekit integration for moss using an out of tree plugin. Right now just emulating the dataset but hey, it's an actual Rust `.so` built out of tree and talking happily to packagekitd.

Serpent OS @serpentos.bsky.social · 12/01/2025
OK, the IPC prototype now works, also allowing pkexec usage w/ socket passing. More on this soon, and how it will facilitate integration and improvements to moss, lichen, etc.

Oh my dudes what an amazingly busy few days. More to share with you, but primarily this: we've built a small crate letting us pkexec a backend and pass it a bound (unix) socket for IPC. This will allow lichen (installer) to go GUI. :3
