If Ladybird is "forked" from SerenityOS now, does that mean the mainline won't run on Serenity any longer?

That’s right. A version of Ladybird remains in the SerenityOS repo, and people are cherry-picking changes as we go.

Over time, I expect them to diverge enough that this becomes impractical, as Ladybird now allows 3rd party code while SerenityOS does not. It’s up to the SerenityOS community how to handle this.
