My colleagues and me are indeed using the system on a daily basis. Personally, I'm running it on an Intel-based Gen12 Framework laptop and on an i.MX8-based MNT-Reform laptop.
Earlier this year, I recorded a casual walk-through of the Genode-based Sculpt OS.

1. Is there going to be a disk image/installer for 25.08, or is that supposed to be self-compiled?
