Hi All, I've created a new YouTube vlog entry for your enjoyment. This one is about the latest shocking news of being let go from a job. View it here -- I appreciate it if you help me get the word out about my channel, send me some upwardly-pointing thumbs and possibly even subscribe! 🙂 Thanks! Best, Daniel

Everyone, arm-32bit and arm-64bit builds of Funtoo Linux 1.3 are now available. Search for "arm" on this page using the search field right above the table to see them: https://www.funtoo.org/Subarches Enjoy. Also note that we could use some help with updating install docs for raspberry pis as well as odroid-xu4, which I hear now should run fine with our debian-sources-lts? If you look at our odroid-xu4 page here, you'll see that at the top we link to an install guide specific to this board. I'd like to have docs like this for all the raspis as well: https://www.funtoo.org/ODROID-XU4 Thanks, Daniel

This is not linux, this is lindows :-). I can't understand why Poettering still haven't added to systemd registry and bsod...

Got a (new to me) Thinkpad T420s and decided Funtoo would be the primary OS. I'm happy to say I went through the install today and I now have Funtoo installed and booted. Just need to setup everything I want on it now.

Hello, I just wanted to reach out and say I have installed Steam using flatpak about 2 months ago and I have had zero issues. I know there is away of setting up an overlay and chrooting into a 32bit kernel but that seemed like way to much work. Performance has been fantastic, and even the new proton layer they have been working on seems to chug right along. If you have any questions or if you think maybe there is a a better way of accomplishing this task please let me know. Thanks, Shane

Sweet, I still have had no issues running with flatpak. I use it for anything that's a dependency nightmare, thanks for the feedback though.

Yo, Systemd is cancer? Yes or sure? https://capsule8.com/blog/exploiting-systemd-journald-part-1/ and https://lwn.net/SubscriberLink/777595/fd4dc34c1fbc5dde/ - coffnix

I'm just glad that we have this awesome distro to avoid all that garbage. Thanks to everyone who contributes!

May be it's a time to go to plan9 and make it more usable for everyday use ;-).

Cool, thanks! Then I will attempt to do the stage 4 installation, but that might have to wait until the weekend.

We finally have an answer to this question: official Funtoo AWS images: https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/B07KT3VN7Q?qid=1548635103743&sr=0-1&ref_=srh_res_product_title

Just a note for the future: When removing a feature many people are relying on, it often pays of to have the replacement ready. I get the feeling that essentially disabling Steam and Wine and telling people to hold of on playing games for a couple months is going to drive many people away. I understand that there is too much to do for too few people, and dropping features you don't feel are needed seems like a good option, but you are also serving a community of users. Telling a portion of that community that they are not wanted and should go elsewhere seems like a bad strategy, even if it frees up development time. Personally I'm going to hold off on the 1.3 upgrade for as long as possible, and see how that turns out.

Everyone, Funtoo Linux 1.3 is now officially released. Check out a detailed description of all the changes here: https://www.funtoo.org/Release_Notes/1.3-release Best, Daniel
