SerenityOS is a free and open source desktop operating system that has been in continuous development since 2018. Initially a one-man project of Swedish programmer Andreas Kling, SerenityOS is now developed by a community of hobbyists. The system supports the x86-64 instruction set[1] (though work is currently at the early stages to support AArch64 and RISC-V[2]), features a preemptive kernel, and hosts multiple complex applications including its own web browser and integrated development environment (IDE).[3][4]
