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.

For users who want to try #Linux, I recommend this: Do not listen to people who tell you to use #Ubuntu, #LinuxMint or other variants. They all use the same complex and often breaking mechanisms, and can cause a lot of hassle.
Instead, I recommend these systems:
- #Fedora #AtomicDesktops
- #UniversalBlue #Aurora #Bluefin #Bazzite
- #HeliumOS
Looking forward to #SerpentOS too, and trying #NixOS.
These systems are reliable like an Android phone, while offering you more freedom.

Serpent OS changes name to AerynOS, because of "serpent" having a negative association:

Serpent OS Renamed to AerynOS Amid Funding Struggles
Before its first stable release, Serpent OS has been renamed AerynOS. Founder Ikey Doherty cites the need for a more positive identity. However, financial troubles continue to slow development. Doherty, known for Solus OS, has faced similar challenges in the past. The transition to AerynOS is set for March 17, 2025—ironically, St. Patrick’s Day, known for driving out snakes.

#SerpentOS Demonstrates Working Offline Rollbacks With Its Package Manager
www.phoronix.comSerpent OS Demonstrates Working Offline Rollbacks With Its Package Manager
Remember how less than a week ago we were all like "hey we're gonna do offline rollbacks" and folks were all "you're *exploring* ...." :P
Hey look, offline rollbacks!
https://serpentos.com/blog/2025/01/04/offline-rollbacks-enabled/
Serpent OS · Offline Rollbacks EnabledIf a picture tells a thousand words… well then this video .. Yknow what, sod it. Here’s a video of the offline rollback support in action, as tested in a newly installed VM using xfs for the root filesystem. We jokingly refer to this as the “LTT” test due to LinusTechTips’ “interesting encounters” with package management systems in the past.
This has already landed in our volatile repository, so simply sudo moss sync -u and grab the latest updates. Any subsequent transactions will automatically generate the boot entries for you, no intervention required. Or mounting. Or anything. Just update and go. Srsly.
We actually saw this as a golden standard for the feature, as it’s a real-world scenario where you’d want to roll back to a known good state. The video shows the system booting and recovering in multiple ways, from complete system nuke (via glibc) and simpler scenarios like removal of the GNOME desktop environment.
The intent is to ensure a user can quickly revert to the last transaction that worked in the instance an update goes awry, without needing to boot into a rescue environment or live CD.
Erste #Alpha: #SerpentOS
Selten mussten wir so lange auf ein erstes benutzbares Lebenszeichen einer neuen Distribution warten wie bei Serpent OS. Vor viereinhalb Jahren stellte Mastermind Ikey Doherty seine Pläne für eine moderne Distribution vor. Jetzt erschien die erste Alpha-Version.

Serpent OS · Investing in the FutureHere we are, at the end of 2024, and what a year it’s been! We’ve made significant progress on Serpent OS, and we’re excited to share some of the highlights with you.
Attained Alpha Virtually 5 years in the making, we recently attained alpha status. Our tooling and concepts have aligned, allowing us to now rapidly iterate on the core deliverable itself: Serpent OS. We’ve seen an explosion in cadence, with our tooling enabling us to quickly and easily deliver updates, new packages and enabling new features.
