Hi Mastodon! 👋 As a developer of Parch Linux (https://parchlinux.com), I need some advice. Does anyone know how DistroWatch tracks updates, or how to properly reach out to Linux news sites? It's FOSS reviewed us once, but we’ve made massive changes since: new custom tools, a rewritten installer UI, and more!
Tomorrow marks our 5th anniversary! 🎉 But despite publishing our updates, we're facing total radio silence. I don't want to jump to conclusions, but after 5 years, it honestly feels like a media boycott simply because of our project's origin (Iran). I didn't choose my nationality, and despite heavy restrictions, our team has built something we're proud of.
We even have Server and Mobile editions in active development, yet the mobile efforts seem ignored even here among FOSS enthusiasts.
How can we break this silence? Any advice is appreciated! 🐧❤️

After a grueling 2,000-hour nationwide internet shutdown in Iran, international connectivity has finally returned to the Parch Linux servers.
This prolonged outage completely destroyed our SEO. Searching for our project yielded zero results for months, which took a massive toll on our visibility and progress. Now that we are back online, I am trying to figure out how to rebuild the lost trust of our international users and effectively promote the project again. Unfortunately, open-source news outlets have rarely covered us unless we directly request a feature.
Despite these hurdles, I am incredibly relieved that the connection is restored and people outside of Iran can finally see our work once more.
Hoping for freedom.

I’ve been working on a native KDE client based on #Carburetor, and I’m happy to announce its release under the name #Karburetor.
The goal of this project is to provide a better Tor experience for KDE Plasma users with a client that fits naturally into the KDE ecosystem, without GNOME dependencies and with a focus on a more native, simple, and integrated experience.
In this release, several parts of Carburetor have been redesigned so Karburetor can run independently from GNOME. The settings, proxy management, and user interface have been adapted to better match KDE standards.
Karburetor now uses native KDE settings and integrates more smoothly with Plasma services. Proxy handling has also been improved, allowing Plasma and KDE applications to directly use the Tor connection.
New features include active Bridge detection, improved support for different Tor transports, and a more extensible architecture for future improvements.
GitHub:
https://github.com/kdefarsi/karburetor
P.S. Due to network limitations in Iran, Codeberg being censored, and GitLab being sanctioned, unfortunately the sources are temporarily hosted on Microsoft GitHub for now.
I may move the project to KDE Invent in the future if possible, after it becomes more stable.

FreeBSD 15 + CDE is probably the closest you can get to sitting in front of a high-end UNIX workstation without owning a time machine.
Running Common Desktop Environment in 2026 feels strangely refreshing. No blur effects, no Electron, no notifications fighting for attention, No ai written code, just Motif, terminals, man pages, and a desktop paradigm that was already mature before I was born.
Current setup: • FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE • CDE • dtwm • bhyve • Motif everywhere
Today’s activity: reading bhyve(4) manuals and pretending I'm a UNIX admin in 1996.

Hello everyone after a long time! Hope you're all doing great, I've missed this community :)
My internet is finally back to a relatively stable state, which means I can jump back into my old passion projects!
I recently saw that a native ARM64 beta port of the Steam client was released, and I knew it was the perfect time to test it on my Linux phone.
I'm currently running #postmarketOS with #PlasmaMobile on my PocoPhone F1. Since pmOS is based on Alpine, it uses musl libc, which doesn't support running these binaries natively. To bypass this, I set up an Ubuntu 24.04 #Distrobox container and installed the ARM64 Steam client along with box64 and box86. The process wasn't as straightforward as some guides suggest (like the one below); I had to do some extra tweaking. I'll definitely write a detailed blog post or a postmarketOS wiki entry about it soon!
🔗 https://interfacinglinux.com/community/sbcsoftware/native-steam-client-for-arm-linux/
I managed to boot Steam into Big Picture mode and went straight to setting up Proton.
Note: The Proton 11 ARM64 mentioned in the link didn't work for me, so I used Proton Experimental instead.
I paired my PS4 controller via Bluetooth, and it worked flawlessly out of the box! For the gaming test, I downloaded Crab Game (kept it lightweight due to my strict data limits).
Against all odds, it actually launched! Running via Proton Experimental + Box64/86 inside Distrobox on my phone, I managed to get a relatively playable 20-30 FPS. Linux mobile gaming is getting wild! 🐧🎮

Thank you friend :)
I hope that one day we all be free in this country with no internet censorship

Hello!
I am still safe, especially after these 40 days of war that took place in my country.
I don't want to write a critique of the war; everything is relatively clear. Fortunately, I am in the eastern part of the country, which wasn't damaged much.
But well... the Iranian government has shut down the internet for us for 40 days; this is truly annoying and has even caused many things to be destroyed.
Whether it is the digital economy, or businesses that were active on Telegram and the internet. Whether it's website SEO. For example, my own project, Parch GNU/Linux, has had its servers go out of reach because they were in Iran, and I cannot provide updates for it without the internet. Even its rank on DistroWatch has dropped significantly. Who is going to compensate for these government-inflicted losses later?
These events have caused people to be forced to migrate to government-monitored platforms, most of which are a fourth-rate copy of Telegram.
There have been struggles too; we are resisting this by using Delta Chat, Matrix, and even XMPP so as not to go to these platforms.
Pray for us.
