I never got to try SerenityOS due to the developer's bizarre insistence that users compile the OS instead of just providing a precompiled ISO or IMG file. Shame because I appreciated the workhorse 9x aesthetics it had.
Why is it bizarre? It encouraged people to contribute to the project. It clearly worked out well for them. SerenityOS isn't for regular users, it's for developers.

You talk like the project is dead, but the blog post emphatically says that it isn't.
