Bringing SerenityOS to real hardware, one driver at a time

I love the serenityos concept (and ladybird browser) so I'm glad to see this progress!

Me as well.

Sadly, they have parted ways at this point. Not only has Ladybird broken off into an independent project but it does not consider SerenityOS a target platform anymore.

Ladybird is slowly shedding a lot of the “home grown” Serenity layers and replacing them with more mainstream alternatives.

As I am primarily a Linux user, I am excited to see Ladybird become a real alternative on Linux. However, as a fan of SerenityOS as well, I am sad to see all the energy and innovation that was going into Ladybird get stripped out of SerenityOS.

Ladybird has a very large political aim: to become the only browser that isn't funded by Google or based on Google's browser engine. The reason it left behind SerenityOS is because it has moved from a hobbyist aim to a very serious political aim.

You should say only major browser that fits those categories because examples of the latter exist- Orion uses WebKit and Zen uses Gecko- and I imagine the former is even more common.

WebKit and gecko are funded by google
