👋 Hello! We are the team behind lucentOS and fijiOS.
We believe your operating system should be a private digital vault, not a corporate surveillance terminal. No telemetry and no forced cloud lock-in. Just clean, premium desktop environments built on a hardened Fedora foundation with absolute user autonomy.
💻 Our codebase is completely open and auditable.
🚀 Launching November 2026.

New blog post!
I've only used it for a few weeks, however I've quickly come to ❤️ Void Linux.
I show the choices I make to create an encrypted Root-On-ZFS minimal Linux system with "just enough" to provide a solid foundation to build upon further: whether that be setting up a desktop, laptop, or server.

I'm back to using Cinnamon desktop environment on my ThinkPad T470s laptop.
Was having a few annoyances and crashes with XFCE. Could have been that I installed XFCE with pacman and not as a fresh install. Could be the bleeding edge of Artix Linux. Not sure.
Installed Cinnamon with pacman and I'll see if it behaves better.

The infamous program comment "You are not expected to understand this" occurs on line 2238 of the source code (Lions' Commentary, p. 22) at the end of a comment explaining the process exchange mechanism. It refers to line 325 of the file slp.c.[9] The source code reads:[10][11]
The source code:
/*
* If the new process paused because it was
* swapped out, set the stack level to the last call
* to savu(u_ssav). This means that the return

Okay, hi everyone
This weekend, after a random toot from @alice in my TL, I found myself in a rabbit hole to enhance and create an iOS 6 theme for GTK4. It's not much, it has some rough edges, but damn it looks so cool, and I'm so proud of this!!
If you wanna help with design or add icons, please feel free to do so!
