The OpenIndiana wiki announces the operating system's Hipster 2017.04 snapshot, which supports USB 3.0 and includes

[...] GTK3 applications. Several Gnome 2 applications, which don't have Mate analogs, were updated to Gnome 3 versions.

OpenIndiana is based on Illumos, which is in turn based on OpenSolaris, the open source version of Solaris.

Does anyone still use Solaris these days?

    While I haven't tried Openindiana yet, I know it comes with ZFS, Dtrace, Zones, KVM, Compiz 0.8.10 (my favorite) and no systemd. When the Linux ecosystem is evolving more and more into a monoculture due to pressure from mostly Red Hat, the existence and support of alternative, free and open UNIX-style operating systems is all the more important.

    systemd seems more and more like "the mark of the beast"....

      Well, sum([ord(c) for c in "systemd"]) gives 777 — looks like the bible contains an off-by-one error for the digit. :-)

        The Mark is no the same as the Number anyway.
