What laptop are you using? I tried getting Tribblix to work on bare metal but couldn't. It's been a while so I can't remember what the problem was.
OI I got working in a VM but I don't remember trying to install it. I did like it a lot, but I'm not sure it would be a good daily driver for me. My use case is pretty simple/boring....I'm just a desktop user.
If you want to post about illumos, go ahead! I'd love to hear about it.
