This week's donation went to the Alpine Linux project. Alpine is an independent distro that has support for x86, x86_64, ARM64, PowerPC, and more. Alpine uses OpenRC for it's init system and Ext4 for the file system. It doesn't come with a desktop environment installed but the user is free to install Gnome, Plasma, Xfce, Mate, Sway, or Lxqt. Installing the desktop is as simple as typing "setup-desktop" and choosing which desktop to install and then the system takes care of the rest. Alpine uses APK for it's package manager. Alpine Linux was designed for power users that desire a more security minded approach. All userland binaries are compiled as Position Independent Executables with stack smashing protection. This helps prevent exploitation of entire classes of various vulnerabilities. The installer is text based but is quite user friendly and isn't much more difficult than most other Linux installers.

The project has a main website:

It's source code is hosted on Gitlab:

Seeing Alpine start one I was wondering if Artix had any plans to start an Open Collective down the road ?

I built a fork of Cemu, the Wii U emulator, that converts mouse input to gyro. Perfect for Splatoon + @pretendo

A thought I had come to mind was the most secure Linux distro ad more importantly why it is so. When I think of security OpenBSD comes to mind as certainly one of the best out there. It got me thinking what the Linux side has to offer. It is easy to try to list Tails or Qubes so I won't. What came to mind is little things like how Garuda makes it very easy to install the hardened kernel or how Alpine works to prevent exploitation of vulnerabilities through PIE and other methods. There is other things like App Armor or SEL but I can't tell if every distro uses them or not. I'd love to hear other thoughts.

So it looks like the Arch Linux project may have gone a bit insane. On their unofficial Discord they are voting in favor of banning links to X, banning those who don't agree too loudly, and some have stated they want to kill Bryan Lunduke or hope he kills himself.

Gallery App furilabs.com/gallery-app/

We built a gallery app for FuriOS. It is a much requested addition to the FuriOS ecosystem and although it has a small amount of rough edges, it is very much usable.

FOSDEM was a great experience for the FuriLabs team and we can now announce that we have officially sold out of our first batch of FuriPhones and the second is on it's way!
