LunarXG

 The next release for LunarXG is called Tidal (or, to be precise, LunarXG Rolling Tidal). It would be released somewhere next week. The very next release of LunarXG is called Whirlwind.  Tidal would feature a new kernel version, containerization support, a hardware optimizer and a kernel manager.

 Since the distro is not currently developed (and updates taking longer time to consider), let's gather here and talk about containerization on LunarXG. You already know that LunarXG utilize a set of containerization softwares: distrobox and apx (v1, which wrapper is Pikman). I've been using Pikman on my development machine the moment I know about PikaOS, and I've come to a few conclusions: - Containerization is a must for outdated systems such as LunarXG. Since LunarXG is still relied on deb packages and KDE neon repository, softwares are always outdated. If you try to tinker with something newer the system would crash (happened to me; that's why I switched to Debian).  - Containerization is still not enforced on LunarXG, which is a clear disadvantage - apx v1 is unupdated and has some critical error (export command), and pikman bring some of them on itself. But since the project is in its earliest stage, there is no reason to try and experiment with containerization t...

 I've recently moved to Debian for the sake of convenience (mainly for Hyprland). However until further notice LunarXG will still be based on KDE neon. Also, we plan to move our source code somewhere other than GitHub. I'd love to use Worktree (reskinned Gitea), or changing to fully selfhosting (I'm planning to build an ARM server). But that's a long way to go. Anyway, please expect the next release of LunarXG rolling to be in next week. The release will features QOL fixes and a ton of new softwares. 

Thanks to the PikaOS team , we successfully built pikman and apx. Those are two key components which helps us to achieve our goal - containerization. But somehow, that isn't enough... We aim to be a second Bazzite - a system with security (isolation) mixed with customisablity (free-to-install native packages) as well as empowering gaming powerhouses. Currently, we have achieved 40% of our aim. A lot of time (2+ years) will be needed to complete 40% more (if no one else contributes to the project), and some more time is needed for us to reach 100%, and beyond that.  We are committed to develop and maintain this project - our first, and most anticipated piece of software. We will keep all of our promises and deliver them to you as soon as possible. At least, for now, do not anticipate anything fancy, only precompiled packages from our friends at PikaOS. We are trying to bring an unified update solution for our distro. But it takes time for it to be stable. Thank you, for everything. ...

 Thank you for testing LunarXG. Until after June 7, development will be paused, particularly because of my upcoming SAT test. Development during 2025-26 will also be slower than usual, due to my studies. Thank you for acknowledging.

You can set your own kernel version using GRUB or any GUI tools you want. (although we would remove this feature next release as this was an accident) Installed 2 apt helpers: nala and Pacstall Removed openrazer for being incompatitable with the new kernel Fixed issues with distro name Bumped system packages version Make kitty the default terminal Issues: xone openrazer ISO file size
