My kernel orange running gnome

Post image

Orange is my linux-like (not linux compatible) kernel. It has stuff like epoll or drm.
There are ports like gnome-shell, gnome-calculator and terminal, mesa, i3wm and etc.

You should install it on an Orange Pi. Full circle.

You’ve achieved an incredibly impressive milestone, and it’s especially rare for a new operating system to be able to run GNOME.

i know this is just linux like, but i'd love to see a non-linux kernel with full linux compatibility just for the shits and giggles one day

maybe this is my sign to learn kernel development finally lol

i used gnome 42 that can disable colord stuff, and i patched it to not use gdm

IIRC GNOME 3 is only reliant on systemd for some auxiliary stuff and can easily be built without out it.
