Gajim 2.0.0 has been released 🎉
Gajim migrated its user interface toolkit to GTK 4, which brings performance improvements and sets the ground for great features to follow. ⏩
Additionally, this release brings improved image previews, better tools for fighting spam, and much more.
All of these changes were only possible by touching a lot of Gajim’s code base, and we appreciate all the feedback we got from you. ❤️

GZDoom 4.14.1 Released: https://github.com/ZDoom/gzdoom/releases/tag/g4.14.1

Can anybody who has used both PostmarketOS and PureOS on their Librem 5 state what, if any, advantages I would see moving from PureOS to PMOS ? I am familiar with both and have no serious dislikes of either. Just not sure it will be worth my weekend to do it.
Yeah trying to get away from SystemD can be a real crapshoot at times. I have Devuan on my laptop and usually Artix on my gaming desktop although I'm giving Alpine a serious look. If Devuan had newer mesa and kernels i'd just use it for both, maybe when the next version is released I can.
Debian left X due to feeling scared on there not to mention they actively have anti white rules and practices. SystemD is part of Fedora/Red Hat as well as gets a lot of contributions by Microsoft Staff and they both have a very woke agenda as well.

Six people boosted it, three people commented on it and four people favorited it at the time of typing this. All higher than zero. The video on Rumble has fifty three upvotes and four hundred and forty three views as of typing this. Again all higher than zero.
Deadline extended! Show us your art. Three days left to submit for inclusion in Rocky Linux 10 for all the glory!
Wallpaper contest goes through March 3. Submission guidelines in the Rocky Forums, here: https://buff.ly/3XocnJH

Devuan is great for freedom of choice. During install gives the user a choice between SysVinit, Runnit, and OpenRC. If you use the netinstaller option you also get a choice of desktop environments during install including XFCE, Cinnamon, Gnome, KDE, LXDE, LXQT and Mate. It can also easily be used with the libre kernel if one wanted to if you follow the instructions at FSFLA.
The project's main website is here:
The project has a forum and a presence on the fediverse:

The project accepts donations through Paypal, crypto and bank transfer if you wish to help financially:
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.
