  October 05, 2024 by SteelsOfLiquid

  November 06, 2023 by SteelsOfLiquid

  As of today, 2023 November 6th, any future releases of Steel OS from me will be cancelled, and there will be no more development done on Steel OS. This may sound like a dumb idea and a crazy move, how... Continue reading

  September 08, 2023 by SteelsOfLiquid#steel os 3

  So, earlier today, the development unit I use to develop Steel OS decided it wanted to shut off randomly with a typical Kernel Power 41 error I'm used to by now. The laptop, an MSI Prestige 14 Evo A11... Continue reading

  Steel OS 3 has finally reached the end of Beta 2, with version 3.0.2955B.B2main, aka build 2955B. The reason why there is a B at the end of the build number is due to this being a x64-only recompile o... Continue reading
