Not official, I gather from:
https://github.com/SerenityOS/serenity/blob/master/Documentation/INSTALL.md#disclaimer https://github.com/SerenityOS/serenity/blob/master/Documenta...
> Whilst it is possible to run Serenity on physical x86-compatible hardware, it is not yet ready to be used by non-technical users who aren't prepared to report bugs or assist with its development. For this reason, there are currently no pre-built install images so a bare-metal installation requires that you build an installation image from source.
Ed: there's also the FAQ:
https://github.com/SerenityOS/serenity/blob/master/Documentation/FAQ.md#where-are-the-iso-images https://github.com/SerenityOS/serenity/blob/master/Documenta...
> Where are the ISO images?
> There are no ISO images. This project does not cater to non-technical users.
And I also found the reason for it being 32 bit, which feels rather quaint..
> Why is the system 32-bit?
> That's what Andreas was most familiar with when starting out. There's some interest in supporting 64-bit systems and that will eventually happen, but it's just another feature.
- gigel82 5y agoSure, I'm not a non-technical user but I feel like setting up a build environment and building from scratch is more than the time investment I'm willing to make to evaluate this project. Just want a disk image to plop in Qemu or VirtualBox or Hyper-V to see what this feels like before I delve in the code.
- miles 5y agoHere's more on the theme from Andreas[1]: > SerenityOS does not have nightly builds or ISO images. > This is a simple proof-of-work system designed to prevent low-quality bug reports and tire-kicking. > The build is completely scripted and can be performed by anyone familiar with the command line.
