Had an absolute blast chatting with @brodierobertson.xyz last night! You'll be able to watch / listen in the next couple of weeks PS the microphone was mostly for show. Forgot to enable the drivers xD

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.

Serpent OS @serpentos.bsky.social · 23/01/2025

The latest happenings in #disksrs : Planning APIs for partition manipulation. Kinda useful for an installer. Early days but yes: automatic alignment, undo-stack, data-representation only, tracked changeset for clear communication/etc.

Serpent OS @serpentos.bsky.social · 21/01/2025

early experiments for the installer..

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.

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.

Other folks are seeing the new year in with alcohol and jubilation. We got cups to print a test page :3

We're moving to Kent to farm cabbages.

We've got the ISO working with etcher now per your requests =)

Serpent OS @serpentos.bsky.social · 28/12/2024

Last night we landed the very rough beginnings of the new `moss boot` family of commands. For now we have `moss boot status` allowing you to introspect your boot configuration (dynamic probing) - and we'll augment this soon with more options and cmdline snippet handling =)

All the cool kids have it these days

‪ Our GNOME ISO is undergoing some last minute internal (matrix) testing. Seemingly the only remaining item on the list is having blsforme automatically remove kernels from ESP/XBOOTLDR. Attached a sneak preview of what you can expect.

Serpent OS @serpentos.bsky.social · 21/12/2024

For a while we've defaulted to the "Resources" application rather than gnome-system-monitor. Ain't it pretty?

Serpent OS @serpentos.bsky.social · 20/12/2024

As of maybe 20 minutes ago, nvidia proprietary drivers and Steam work on Serpent OS

0130

Serpent OS @serpentos.bsky.social · 18/12/2024

Yep we've been quiet, and with reason. Remember we said we were prepping "the big one" for a release... ?

0112

Serpent OS @serpentos.bsky.social · 28/11/2024

Last minute tweaks continue.. Improvements to default terminal experience using ptyxis (on GNOME) and starship prompt by default.

0130

Serpent OS @serpentos.bsky.social · 24/11/2024

Ya got no idea how long it took to get that feckin spinner to show up. Anyway, desktop serpent installs will soon default to having plymouth ootb with SimpleDRM. Other stuff today: mtp support, iPhones, Bluetooth enabling, codecs for pipewire... Tbh our gnome iso is looking pretty damn nice.

Serpent OS @serpentos.bsky.social · 24/11/2024

Our plans have been delayed a bit thanks to hardware fail, but even still we're ploughing ahead. Just enabled Bluetooth audio with latest updates

Serpent OS @serpentos.bsky.social · 22/11/2024

The "work laptop" goes back today, and hadn't been used in a while. Couldn't resist the temptation to test how it'd handle a bunch of updates ager having been laid up so long.. Disappointed because literally nothing broke and it's nicer after the updates.

Serpent OS @serpentos.bsky.social · 21/11/2024

No point in not enabling this now, tbh..

Serpent OS @serpentos.bsky.social · 21/11/2024

We're making some last minute improvements prior to our ISO release. The latest COSMIC and GNOME desktops are in our repos, along with a bunch of tweaks and updates. Shown here, GNOME 47 with the tilingshell and appindicator extensions by default, Linux 6.12.0 (low latency) + ptyxis terminal

Serpent OS @serpentos.bsky.social · 20/11/2024

done. github.com/serpent-os/r... github.com/serpent-os/r...

Serpent OS @serpentos.bsky.social · 17/11/2024

We have an update addiction, btw.

Serpent OS @serpentos.bsky.social · 17/11/2024

This is our stock GNOME install right now. Needs some minor love but overall quite pleasant on the Framework 13!

090

Serpent OS @serpentos.bsky.social · 17/11/2024

Been fixing our integration issues for COSMIC Desktop, coming along ... stellar? >_> PATH issue resolved a while back, XDG dirs present, lichen much happier bar a couple of whiney errors. Gonna update the COSMIC packages (ty copilot shell script) and then make it purty.

080

Serpent OS @serpentos.bsky.social · 17/11/2024

Lots of updates landed since yesterday, including mesa, kernel, zed, you name it. Got lazy and made copilot handle our cosmic updates. Day in the life.
