Arch Linux, made immutable, declarative and atomic: We're thrilled to announce the stable release of blendOS v4! You can now define your system through a single YAML file ('/system.yaml') with full support for packages from the Arch Linux repos and AUR, while continuing to be able to use Ubuntu/Fedora/Debian/.../Android containers to run software not available on Arch Linux.

Custom desktop environments, kernels and other system packages are all supported with v4, through simple modifications to /system.yaml!

The first v4 testing ISO is now out!

Quoting Rudra on Discord:

Aside from it being declarative and atomic, it now has a dedicated first-setup app that allows you to create users following the installation of the system, unlike previous iterations where it was a part of the system installer. It ships with GNOME 45 out-of-the-box, but just like with the alpha, you can change the desktop environment in the /system.yaml file and update your system from the 'System' app. The default GNOME dash is a lot less cluttered now (new default-gnome track). You can also include any custom packages or even build your own system with your own packages, giving you a nearly vanilla Arch Linux installation but immutable and atomic!

We've now implemented three-way /etc merges (similar to ostree), therefore making /etc mutable and allowing you to edit package configuration. Similarly, /usr/local too is now mutable so that you can install any themes or custom-built applications system-wide.

This is still a beta release, so not everything is finished. There are no system or user tools anymore, and the default DE is GNOME (this can be changed post-install).

You now have to use system.yaml, so follow my post-install guides here: https://asterisk.lol/blog/blend_v4/#post-install (soon to be on the new docs)

If you'd like to download it, you can get the ISO from the following mirrors:

Google Drive

Sahilister's Mirror

Qiwi

You can also get torrents for it from our FossTorrents page: https://fosstorrents.com/distributions/blendos/#downloads

Also, another reminder is that this is still a testing release. Things are unfinished!

Idk.

What is going on with kbin - a week has passed with no sign of any life in c/fediverse

I looked at the kbin git repo, and apparently, it's not a week, but a month.

Edit: Misunderstood your post. I thought you meant activity on their git repo.

"Now it seems development has ceased once again and there hasn't been chat on the matrix channels for over a week. Update: that's two weeks now" -

I was using the "sparkle✨️" UI. It was way better than the current UI. It had moved the server sidebar to the bottom of the screen, like a dock. I miss it. I am no longer able to use Discord one-handed. The UI update removed it from the app.

I purchased a 128 GB flash drive for around 12-15$ (I forgot the exact price) last year, and on Amazon, there are 10 TB hard drives for $100. So, the actual storage doesn't seem to be an issue.

RAM is expensive 128 GB of RAM on Amazon is $500.

But then again, I am talking about the consumer grade stuff. It might be different for the people who are making AI's as they might be using the industrial/whatever it's called grade stuff.

I am running an Arch based distro called Garuda, and it's been perfectly fine for me.

For fun. Only on my phone though. Haven't fully gotten used to it yet. I am only able to type around half the speed I used to. Still getting caught up on G, F, and K. Started on Aug 18th, so about 5 days ago. Also kind of funny that your post was posted on my birthday.
