We forked the #KDE Plasma Login Manager. It now runs on #X11, drops privileges after init, and supports #systemd-free too. We tested it on Artix Linux with OpenRC, CachyOS with systemd, and on the #FreeBSD-based GhostBSD. #SonicDE sonic-login-manager youtube.com/watch?v=rTnV7-nf…

We consolidated the #SonicDE for #ArchLinux packages and created a standalone repository at sonicde-arch.github.io. There, we provide binary packages for x86_64 and maintain the PKGBUILDs for the #AUR. Please update any existing custom SonicDE entries in your pacman.conf.

The maintainers of @VendefoulWolf Linux added #SonicDE 6.3.5 packages to their stable release based on Devuan 6 Excalibur. They also announced to stop releasing any ISOs with #KDE Plasma and solely focus on SonicDE. Please see x.com/vendefoulwolf/status/2… and x.com/vendefoulwolf/status/2….

#Vendefoul will no longer release any ISOs with #KDE #Plasma in the future. They will focus on the #SonicDE fork, which allows the use of #Xlibre in addition to #OpenRC. #Freedom for the #Linux #community.@LundukeJournal

Rumor already has it, and it's true. We’re currently working on removing #Wayland support from #SonicDE and the underlying forked libraries. This will pave the way for us to focus on preserving and improving our #X11 version of #KDE #Plasma 6.

We could hardly believe our eyes this morning. Our #SonicDE #Reddit user account has actually been unbanned. We were also able to restore the posts.
Sounds like a day not ending in "y"? For sure! But joking aside, thanks a lot to everyone who was raising and paying attention.

Yesterday, our official Reddit user, reddit.com/user/sonicdesktop, was banned by Reddit without any warning. Previously, we posted exactly the same content as on Bluesky, Mastodon, and X (Twitter). Nothing more. Please see github.com/Sonic-DE/sonic/is… for more. @reddit We need to talk!

We've started implementing a #Vulkan backend for the sonic-win window manager. That's an alternative to #OpenGL and could bring us a step closer to #HDR rendering. Please see github.com/Sonic-DE/sonic-wi… . #SonicDE

I have been daily driving Artix Linux XLibre SonicDE for one month. This combination is rock solid.
I love functional software.

#SonicDE was introduced today as a spin of the new #Vendefoul Wolf #Linux series #Viriato. Viriato is based on #Devuan 7 Freia with kernel 6.18. You can download the testing ISO at vendefoul-wolf-linux.sourcef…, scrolling through to "VENDEFOUL SONICDE - DEVUAN 7."

#SonicDE is being demoed on a #Steam Deck by the @OpenMandrivaOrg devs at #FOSDEM. They launched, quote, "the most expensive marketing program in history" :-D;-) and we're happy to be part of it. Visit them at booth H4, or get the SonicDE packages for OM in the next few days.
