Hi asveikau! Yeah, it's a nice glimpse of one possible future. :)

I'm gonna keep building the custom SerenityOS kernel of course, since it offers extreme productivity and integration opportunities that would be a lot harder to explore with a foreign kernel at the moment.

At a time when I had more spare time vs. today I was also hacking on my own kernel, so I definitely understand the drive to do that. (And congratulate you for pulling it off.)

But OpenBSD is a great kernel and user mode, all around. For context on my own biases, usually when discussions of desktop environments occur around here I am defending X, because it isn't as bad as people say. But seeing the combination of OBSD and your UI I am like... Yes, that looks like a feasible system that is not X.
