Our fully atomic system leverages the LLVM toolchain and libc++ by default, delivering superior diagnostics and package diversity. We’re not afraid to challenge convention - thoughtfully replacing traditional components with modern alternatives that prioritize safety and reliability.

We closely follow the work of organizations dedicated to making software safer, including the Prossimo project and their Memory Safety initiative, the Tweede Golf team, and the Trifecta Tech Foundation. By monitoring and adopting innovations from these pioneers, we can integrate proven solutions like memory-safe replacements for critical system components.

As we continuously evaluate and adopt the best solutions, our architectural decisions enable powerful features like atomic updates that can safely transform your entire system, complete with built-in deduplication and instant rollbacks.

This is the future of Linux distribution design, built on a foundation of experience and innovation.

Expanding:

The distro uses moss as the default package management tool, blsforme for boot management, the LLVM/Clang 18.1.8 stack, and more Rust-based utilities. “As part of our efforts to modernize and strengthen the Serpent OS base, we’ve switched some components out for Rust alternatives: uutils-coreutils replaces coreutils, sudo-rs replaces sudo, ntpd-rs replaces timesyncd, and curl is built with rustls support (and hyper but this is being dropped upstream),” said Ikey Doherty.

On top of that, the GNOME edition features the Starship shell by default, along with the Zed code editor, Loupe image viewer, Resources system resource manager, and other Rust apps. Serpent OS also lets gamers install the latest Steam Client from the main repos.
