Starting on January 19, 2025 Facebook's internal policy makers decided that Linux is malware and labelled groups associated with Linux as being "cybersecurity threats". Any posts mentioning DistroWatch and multiple groups associated with Linux and Linux discussions have either been shut down or had many of their posts removed.

We've been hearing all week from readers who say they can no longer post about Linux on Facebook or share links to DistroWatch. Some people have reported their accounts have been locked or limited for posting about Linux.

The sad irony here is that Facebook runs much of its infrastructure on Linux and often posts job ads looking for Linux developers.

Unfortunately, there isn't anything we can do about this, apart from advising people to get their Linux-related information from sources other than Facebook. I've tried to appeal the ban and was told the next day that Linux-related material is staying on the cybersecurity filter. My Facebook account was also locked for my efforts.

We went through a similar experience when Twitter changed its name to X - suddenly accounts which had been re-posting news from our RSS feeds were no longer able to share links. This sort of censorship is an unpleasant side-effect of centralized communication platforms such as X, Facebook, Google+, and so on.

In an effort to continue to make it possible for people to talk about Linux (and DistroWatch), as well as share their views and links, we are providing two options. We have RSS news feeds which get updates whenever we post new announcements, stories, and our weekly newsletters. We also now have a Mastodon account where I will start to post updates - at least for new distributions and notice of our weekly newsletter. Over time we may also add news stories and updates about releases. Links for the feeds and the Mastodon account can be found on our contact page.

New year, new Hyprland release brought to you by Yours Truly. This update is quite large, so you might want to read these patch notes.

There have been quite a bunch of internal rewrites, mostly around memory safety, the renderer, and animation system. Although performance shouldn't change much, it should improve stability in edge cases. Please do report any regressions you might find, if they aren't reported already.

Window Managers

!windowmanagers@lemmy.zip

This is an attempt to revive the idea of !tilingwindowmanagers@lemmy.world but to include all kinds of window managers.

The community’s purpose is to band together users, new users and soon to be users of different window managers with the purpose to help each other out on Lemmy.

As of now I have been subscribing to respective release feeds and the likes to receive fresh updates and post them here, and also some beginner guides I have been brewing for some time now.

Feel free to post anything related and even barely related.

Not expecting this community to grow large as window managers are a comparatively a niche topic, but at least to keep it real and organic.

For any questions or ideas you can send me direct message.

Yolk is a cross platform dotfile management tool with a unique spin on templating, sitting somewhere in between GNU Stow and chezmoi.

Have a look at our documentation for more information on how to get started!

The Concept

Yolk allows you to use simple templates in your configuration files without having to worry about keeping a separate template file and the generated config file in sync. This is achieved through a design that allows all templates to be included inside comments in your actual configuration file.

Just found out about this project, it should be very useful for users looking to keep dotfiles organized among different machines with ease.

After having my desktop look like a rainbow for a long time I went for the opposite end. It's not a very cheerful color-scheme but my eyes suffer much less after long hours behind the screen.

Anyway, thank you all for introducing me into this new world just about a year ago.
