This is (unofficial) Serpent OS community on Lemmy

Serpent OS is a heavily engineering-led effort to redefine the distribution aspects of a Linux® distro. Fed up with an all-or-nothing approach, i.e. classical package management or entirely image based, we set out to create a hybrid approach that blends the best of both worlds.

The end of February update from Serpent OS brings several exciting developments. Firstly, the packaging build tool, boulder, has been upgraded with Rust integration, allowing for more efficient deployment and use of async features. Triggers have been integrated into the moss package manager, facilitating actions during package management operations. In pursuit of a stateless philosophy, Serpent OS now utilizes systemd mechanisms for managing system users, simplifying account cleanup. The GNOME 45 Desktop has been packaged successfully, alongside ongoing work on tooling and recipe organization. Additionally, the team has performed a rebootstrap using updated tool versions. Plans include releasing a pre-alpha image for testing and focusing on bare-metal functionality in the future. Future updates will cover further enhancements to moss and progress on bare-metal testing.

Initial GNOME Desktop + Sway demonstrated in a VM. Performance isn't great right now, early days =)
