2025 is ending

2025 is ending. We have yet to do anything remarkable. 

We rewrote LunarXG from scratch (twice!), and use live-build to make the ISO. We resolved a lot of problems.  However...

Development slowed down. A lot of goals are not met (weekly images, Repologist,...). There's still a shortage of developer. And so on.

We once declared that early 2026 would be our first stable release. And that goal is straying farther from us.

So here's our plan:

Releasing more ISOs

The old ISO can be updated using apt since it's built on generally available APT packages. However, some softwares, such as patched switcheroo and LACT, requires manual updating. This will be resolved once Repologist is available, but it's still a long run.

Reconsidering our choice of software

 Some preinstalled software can be put in Repologist (we did that with Waydroid) and make them completely optional. And we are still considering what to add.

Developing Repologist

Repologist is not functional as of now as it's held by Python code. We're considering adding some Go-based tools, as well as speeding up development.

 A lot of things, to be added

There're a lot of problems yet to be solved, and these are the few that we can think of right now.  So just wait for now.

LunarXG Microstable (Rolling) "Nexus", Release Candidate 1

 Today, we're happy to announce that our first project, LunarXG, now have an usable release. Created with Cubic, LunarXG aims to be an all-in-one distro for gaming. We tried to make it as complete as  Bazzite  as possible.  However, there are many downsides of using this, as of now. We've been trying to install packages, as well as building the custom kernel for gaming and so on. But at the time of writing this, only 45% of the whole project aim is now complete. Of course, you are encouraged to help us out. Just go to  our GitHub repository  and create an issue. We will make sure to response as quick as possible. The distro will be on rolling release state until it's stable enough for daily use. Do expect a lot of changes during this time. Thank you. Download:  SourceForge What works now: - Bootable & installable - apart from the kernel, every .deb files from GitHub release now installed. mangohud installed via apt and Wine is fully installed. - ME...

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...
