#gnome 45 has landed (incl. a workaround for the lockscreen kill bug on amdgpu/ryzen systems, a stack overflow fix for systems with large LUTs, and the debian/ubuntu triple buffering patch), should appear in the repos in the coming minutes to hours

Jami Kettunen of our community has been leading an effort to get #KDE #plasma6 working recently, and it's already resulted in a functional desktopwhile this is still ongoing effort and hasn't been submitted to cports yet, it seems like good progress, looking forward to getting the changes reviewed

it's complete; #SteamDeck OLED has full support in cports (wifi, bluetooth, etc)the builder is currently compiling the kernel, but in about an hour or two it will be installable; base-steamdeck pulls in the required firmware, linux-steamdeck is the kernelthis should work on LCD as well, but that one should also work on ordinary mainline kernel/firmware out of the box (no special packages)

it's still recommended to install these on the base model too though, because 1) the kernel has an optimized config for the device and 2) the userland support package brings valve's sound/dsp configuration, which should bring it to the same level as steamos out of the box

since this has come up again lately, total avoidance of anything #systemd (or #gnu) is not and never was a goal, and if you're going in with the assumption that you won't see any of it, you are mistaken; ideological wars will not be met with understandingwe rely on udev and tmpfiles (and soon sysusers), systemd-boot is available to install, as is a variety of gnu stuff (though pid1 is unlikely to ever happen, and we will continue to develop new solutions for anything technically unfit)

we will probably eventually (maybe not even in that long) introduce custom solutions for some of these things as a part of the dinit-chimera suite - but this is *only* assuming the new solutions are at least as good or betterso please don't come in suggesting things like that we replace sysd-tmpfiles with opentmpfiles, there are good reasons we are not using that (such as it being impossible to avoid race conditions with a shell script and we *really* don't want those to be there)

chimera is now an option for vps images at https://vpsfree.cz @vpsfree_czit's also where a lot of our infrastructure is hosted - the build master server, the repo server, and our ppc64le build hardware is in vpsfree's rack in Brno, CZ

apk-tools is bumped to latest version in master again (will take a bit to get to users) so please take extra care upgrading and report any potential issues if they ariseit should be safe this time, but anyway...if something goes wrong, @q66 is to blame :)

so ahead of beta, there is now one more new image set out today; this is a prerequisite for implementing a new kernel backup/prune system that we want to deploy before the beta phase, as a new apk-tools feature was necessary to implement thiswhile at it, the project has two new committers (congrats :)) and lost one :(https://chimera-linux.org/news/2024/12/new-images-committers.html

apk-tools has been updated to a rc version, and with that, i am declaring the project officially betaannouncement post: https://chimera-linux.org/news/2024/12/entering-beta.htmlthere is still much to be done next year, but overall we're in a much better shape than last yearthe last half a year of development has been under sponsorship by netgate, allowing me to dedicate half my igalia time; they've also been contributing to cports, overall a big help, this will go on in 2025here's to another year full of improvements :)

as a minor surprise to end the year, there is an upcoming 32-bit powerpc architecture support, the repos of which are currently in the process of being built (a local prototype can already boot on bare metal as well as in a virtual machine)of course, it wil be a tier-3 architecture (like big-endian ppc64)

since we have apk-tools 3.0_rc4 now, it comes with modernization and resolves some old pain:1) repos provide v3-style index names (Packages.adb) alongside v2-style (APKINDEX.tar.gz) for compat2) we have a stable way for the user to select their system repo mirror, without modifying the repo packages, read about it here: https://chimera-linux.org/docs/apk/mirrorsx86_64 and ppc64le repos are done (others are still building and may take some hours)unrelatedly, gcc packages (14.2.0) are coming on all platforms

reminder: free software without its politics is called "open source" and it's what corporates and certain other entities want to gaslight you into thinking is the appropriate soul-draining defaultwe don't do that; chimera is not a product and will always act in the interest of the community + try to be self-sustaining without external controland it will always strive to be a fun and safe space where everyone can feel comfy and appreciated (except nazis, bigots, and other disruptive elements)

btw, if you're curious why not a lot of updates are coming in the last couple days: we're currently in the process of introducing the loongarch64 architecture into the repos/build fleetonce the build queue has cleared, updates and pull request reviews will resumea testing loongarch64 image is now available at https://repo.chimera-linux.org/live/testing (of course, without public repos it's not yet very useful)
