    That’s easy; because Ikey Doherty wanted to make one.

    He abandoned Solus years ago as the project became something he didn’t enjoy anymore, and wanted to start a fresh project closer to his philosophy of engineering everything.

    When a person starts a new project it’s usually because they want to.

    So the key here is, in classic Ikey style, they want to use/develop all their own tools. engineer everything themselves to be exactly what they want it to be. This is what suits them and Ikey has the chops to do this better than most.

    He started this project about 5 years back as Serpent OS, rebranded it last year as he got to alpha release stages.
