I always wondered what it would be like to write my own operating system, but I never took it seriously. Until now.

I've grown tired of cutesy and condescending software that doesn't take itself or the user seriously. This is my effort to bring back the feeling of computing I once knew.

Serenity is a love letter to '90s user interfaces, with a custom Unix-like core. It flatters with sincerity by stealing beautiful ideas from various other systems.

Roughly speaking, the goal is a marriage between the aesthetic of late-1990s productivity software and the power-user accessibility of late-2000s \*nix. This is a system by me, for me, based on the things I like.

If you like some of the same things, you are welcome to join the project. It would be great to one day change the above to say "this is a system by us, for us, based on the things we like." :^)

See the [step-by-step guide to building Serenity](https://github.com/awesomekling/serenity/blob/master/Meta/BuildInstructions.md)

Go into the Toolchain/ directory and run the **BuildIt.sh** script. Then source the **UseIt.sh** script to put the i686-pc-serenity toolchain in your $PATH.
