Hi Aaronstotle! I don't run it on bare metal myself, but there are a couple of other developers who mess around with it somewhat regularly. You should have a fair chance of getting it running on hardware that's a decade old or so.

There are people actively working on various things like ACPI, AHCI and NVMe right now, but hardware support takes time. That said, things have been moving at a pretty decent pace :)

Yes, I've noticed things have definitely picked up steam in the last six months, especially considering all your security improvements. Is there an irc/chat you and other people hang out in?

Oh indeed, and it's been super fun learning about security!

The main community hub for the project is #serenityos on Freenode :)
