    I don’t get servo after reading more. It looks like it was a Mozilla side projected over ten years ago that got cancelled but now some team is managIng it. Running it, it seems to barely do anything.

    Would be nice to have an alternative that isn’t the questionable Ladybird.

      I think they are initially trying to be easily embeddable to things like IOT devices, TVs and applications that just need a webview rather than a full blown desktop browser. Something developers can easily add to their projects.

      It won’t be taking over Firefox or chrome anytime soon but it’s a start.

      What’s questionable about Ladybird?

        There was this uproar some years ago: https://github.com/SerenityOS/serenity/pull/6814#issuecomment-830793992

Shit, just linux.

Use this community for anything related to linux for now, if it gets too huge maybe there will be some sort of meme/gaming/shitpost spinoff. Currently though… go nuts
