I finished a serene first person adventure game today called "Paradise Marsh". It has a great atmosphere and a nice art style. It could have had a deeper story and better save system but the overall game play is solid and enjoyable. It can be found on Itch DRM free and it has a native Linux version.

Two projects we love are currently running a crowdsource campaign. The modular Open Hardware laptop MNT Reform Next is up on Crowdsupply where you can support them by buying a T-shirt or treat yourself to an OH laptop in pre-sale. [1]
And the Pixelfed and Loops team is seeking backers to support the development of these federated social networks with no ads, no algorithms and no tracking. [2]

I finished a charming point and click game today called "The founders of [redacted]". It has a good hint system, witty humor, and decent puzzles. It isn't perfect but it is overall well done. It is available free of charge and DRM free on Itch although you can buy the soundtrack or give a tip to support the developer. It has a native Linux version and was made using the FOSS Love engine.
#Agama 11 is here! 🎉 Now with #Slowroll installation support, streamlined #webUI and scripting capabilities for automated setups. Dive into the details. #openSUSE https://agama-project.github.io/blog/2025/01/21/Agama-11
Obviously, the Weekly #MobileLinux Update is delayed. It will be out some time in the (late) evening this Monday (UTC+1).
BTW, foreshadowing: The next one will also be delayed to Monday, as putting something together on the evening of #FOSDEM Day 2 would not be a good idea anyway. After that, we should in all likelihood return to normal schedule despite returning from holiday on the 9th of February.

Do you ever find yourself scrolling endlessly through an #Excel sheet and losing track of a column or row you are working on?
Knowing how to freeze, lock, pin, and hold specific sections of your #Excel sheet can transform massive spreadsheets into organized, easy-to-navigate workspace.
This article will explore the purpose and benefits of these features, common mistakes, and how to use them effectively using #ONLYOFFICE Spreadsheet Editor: https://www.onlyoffice.com/blog/2025/01/how-to-freeze-rows-and-columns-in-excel-sheet?utm_source=social&utm_medium=post&utm_campaign=fosstodon
Now that the 13.0.6 is in prod, time to showcase something I have been working on for a few days during our QA time of this release. (yes we have a QA team lol)
Bootman is a boot manager that can switch between multiple installed systems (currently FuriOS only since we support that officially and no port for other systems exist yet).
I have a GTK4 app in progress that can install FuriOS (and possibly other systems in the future), hopefully we can land this for release 13.0.7.
#flx1 #furilabs
someone in the chat asked if the flx1 can run a KVM machine and my initial thought process was well, probably not out of the box since during the boot process EL2 is locked and even if kernel has KVM, it will never initialize correctly.
so today after finishing my daily tasks i decided to take a stab at our bootloader, preloader and trustzone's source code.
Lo and behold, turns out i did indeed cook.
Docker support will land in the next release too!
@fakeshell Absolutely nutty phone, was privileged enough to try this out for myself and I managed to get Manjaro arm to boot.
You won't be running steam on this yet but the potential is massive. I don't think a pocketable kvm capable device has even existed till now!
I have been gaming since 1992 and building PCs since 2003. I enjoy Linux, supporting FOSS projects and am a tinfoil hat connoisseur.
Many FOSS projects rely on donations. If you have money to spare but don't know which to donate to take a look at the above links on Ko-fi, Github, and Open Collective. Anything on there that I have sponsered or contributed to is something I have found to be worthy.
