Set sail!

 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.

Containerization, and the Pikman package manager (apx v1 wrapper)

 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machine the moment I know about PikaOS, and I've come to a few conclusions: - Containerization is a must for outdated systems such as LunarXG. Since LunarXG is still relied on deb packages and KDE neon repository, softwares are always outdated.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...

Moving

 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.
