We now use AK::Error and AK::ErrorOr<T> in both kernel and userspace! This was a slightly tedious refactoring that took a long time, so it's not unlikely that some bugs crept in. Nevertheless, it does pass basic functionality testing, and it's just real nice to finally see the same pattern in all contexts. :^) |

SerenityOS
Graphical Unix-like operating system for x86 computers.
About
SerenityOS is a love letter to '90s user interfaces with a custom Unix-like core. It flatters with sincerity by stealing beautiful ideas from various other systems.
Roughly speaking, the goal is a marriage between the aesthetic of late-1990s productivity software and the power-user accessibility of late-2000s *nix. This is a system by us, for us, based on the things we like.
I (Andreas) regularly post raw hacking sessions and demos on my YouTube channel.
Sometimes I write about the system on my github.io blog.
I'm also on Patreon and GitHub Sponsors if you would like to show some support that way.
