Hi All,
Have you ever thought about officially joining the Funtoo project and helping us move Funtoo forward? I've added a new Staff (General) role to our Open Roles page on the wiki! This job description now defines what we officially expect from all Staff for the Funtoo Linux project -- basically the baseline for our team. It's where everyone should start if they are wanting to get officially involved with being part of our team.
Why have this job description formally posted? In the past, joining our staff has been an informal process of being involved to some degree on Discord and engaging with us. While this has been low-key and flexible, we have a variety of people who have a variety of time commitments and expectations have not always been clear. As the project is growing, we are defining more focused goals for the project and a more straightforward, open and consistent application process is needed.
If you are already contributing actively to Funtoo, consider applying for a Staff position and joining us by sending an email to jobs@funtoo.org 🙂 If you are currently Staff or have previously been Staff for Funtoo, consider this a way of getting more insight into how we are trying to more clearly define our culture and work community, and take a look at our direction. This is going to help us to build the kind of community that we can be truly proud of.

Hi All,
At this time, I have made next-release the recommended release of Funtoo Linux for most people, as it has a very recent release of gcc and has more modern support for applications. 1.4-release is still available but unless you are specifically looking for a stable release, most users will want to install next-release at this time.
If you go to the https://www.funtoo.org/Download link, you will see that next-release stages are now available for all x86-64bit builds of Funtoo Linux including amd64-zen3, as well as riscv-64bit and raspi4-64bit. Soon, I will be updating install documentation to reflect this fact.
If you would like a build of 1.4-release, you can always grab it from https://build.funtoo.org directly, and I wlll be looking into making wiki improvements so that the Download page will inform users when this option is available.

New next-release stage3 and GNOME images are now available at https://build.funtoo.org/next. These images have several updated things but are intended for active development only and not for production/stable systems.
Please install them and help us test out GNOME and get other desktop environments supported!
Builds are only currently available for amd64-zen2 and intel64-skylake.
Please note that next-release is inherently unstable and thus can break at any time. The current status of next-release is that basic stage3's and GNOME stage3 should work fine, and we are expanding out from here to find issues and address them via the bug tracker.

im not a veteran but ive seen the horrors of war from being from a military family.  support our troops, bring them home.  im going to take a break for a while and move to an apartment because i cant live with my family anymore.

Just to let everyone know, MATE stage3's are now available for download, alongside our GNOME and Cinnamon stage3's.
Also, we recently merged in a PR from nyacoder which updated Enlightenment to the current upstream version.
Enjoy!

Thanks cardinal! I  understand this and it sounds good. But I will try it tomorrow, ´cause now I am having trouble concentrating. Too Tired.
