About Salvatore Pesti

Salvatore Pesti is an Italian chef and software developer based in Bali, Indonesia. He works professionally as a chef while also developing software and open-source Linux systems.

Professional Background

Alongside his career in the culinary industry, Salvatore has developed a passion for open-source software and Linux-based systems. His work in both fields has influenced his approach to software development, emphasizing reliability, user experience, and practical functionality.

devOS Project

He is the creator of devOS, an Arch Linux-based system designed for Intel Mac computers, with a focus on hardware compatibility, reliable performance, and a polished out-of-box experience. The project emerged from his need for a stable, preconfigured development environment on Apple hardware.

Philosophy

devOS is built around the principle that tools should work reliably from the first boot. Rather than requiring users to manually configure each component, devOS provides a complete, tested snapshot of a Linux environment where the work of making hardware and tools behave properly has already been done.
