Those are the neighbors and community we need again.
Solus. It has more packages I want in their repos than any other distro. It uses Open Collective for transparent donations. It has a good selection of DE's. It is great for any task including gaming. It is stable yet new. If it gave a choice of init systems and the libre kernel it would be perfect.
AerynOS 2025.03 is the first release following the Serpent OS rebranding.
Technological sovereignty now: Nextcloud supports EuroStack’s call!
In EuroStack’s open letter, around 100 companies call for action to reduce dependence on foreign digital infrastructure through a set of goals the EU can achieve now.

Heads up, icu-76 has been pushed to edge. The builders will be busy for a while rebuilding all dependencies, and there appear to be some build failures.
The community repository is broken at the moment until the builders finish rebuilding affected packages and upload it.
Build status can be tracked at https://build.alpinelinux.org/
Help is appreciated fixing broken packages.
For example dovecot seems to be broken on 32-bits arches ("size of unnamed array is negative").
Tectonic fails to build as well.
On April 3, Nadia Santalla (Grafana Labs) will talk about #kubernetes - "An introductory journey through Kubernetes networking". Join us! https://meetu.ps/e/NZ2YQ/mXgxF/i
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.
