I have managed to restore the #KDE #Plasma #X11 session on #AlmaLinux 10.1.

I have built some of the @sonicdesktop packages for #EL10 and made them run on @XLibreDev.

Instructions can be found on my #COPR repo here: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/andersrh/sonicDE/

This is not a full build of #SonicDE, but an initial alpha release, which restores the X11 session on an #Wayland only distro. More packages will be released later to create a full SonicDE environment as well as newer versions in order to include the newest enhancements for X11.

@jonathanspw @almalinux Thanks, ok, #copr I was exploring for a broken #FreeCAD build last year, so that might be something for the holiday then. Thanks again.

Just a FYI: If you use Fedora and using Wezterm, the latest version of wezterm from COPR is an empty package due to some buggy spec change; you have to install wezterm-gui and wezterm-mux-server to make it actually installed

there is already an issue created here that you can follow: https://github.com/wezterm/wezterm/issues/7502

4 cool new projects to try in Copr for December 2025 - Fedora Magazine

256k packages were downloaded from my #Linux #kernel vanilla #copr repositories[1] for #Fedora Linux 41 during its lifetime, which ends today, as it becomes EOL.

That's ~30k more than for Fedora 39, and 20k less than Fedora 40[2].

[1] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Kernel_Vanilla_Repositories

[2] I guess is due to a subpackage being separated and thus not shipped in my coprs anymore

Either someone found the vanilla #linux-next builds fpr #s390x useful, which I enabled a few days ago in my #Fedora Linux #copr[1] – or it was just some AI crawler that made the number in the download stats go up from 0 to 32. 🤷

These days you never know. #moderntimes #kernel #LinuxKernel

Amazing! The #Fedora #COPR is one way to try it, even on #AtomicDesktops like #uBlue

Some things that come to my mind:
- adjustable size
- padding to left/right so it doesnt take up all the screen
- nice show/hide functionality with a button, swiping, dynamically
- functional keys (Ctrl, Alt, Super, Arrows, Fn keys, ...)

Woo! Grateful for the #Fedora #COPR repos! I know installing things from third party repos willy nilly is a bad idea, but I was having trouble figuring out how to install the #wezterm I'd build from source (You can't really set cargo run --bin wezterm as your default Terminal Emulator!) and I was happy to see that I could just dnf install it with desktop integration and all the bells and whistles in place.

@cgwalters we started using bootc images for Copr builders and so far everything works great.

Copr builders powered by bootc

As of today, all Copr builder virtual machines are now being spawned from bootc images, which is no small feat because the builder infrastructure involves multiple architectures (x86_64, aarch64, ppc64le, s390x), multiple clouds (Amazon AWS, IBM Cloud), and on-premise hypervisors. It scales up to 400 builders running simultaneously and peaking at 30k builds a day.

Updated #TaskJuggler to the latest version in my #COPR repository for @fedora :

https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/ankursinha/rubygem-taskjuggler/

TaskJuggler is an Open Source project management tool. It's full of great features---scheduling, resource allocation, gannt charts, reports and reporting, all of it. See the documentation here: https://taskjuggler.org/documentation.html

I use it to manage all my work projects, and it's a real boon. Give it a go!
