Let's see, what happened in the Linux, FOSS and Fossery Tech realm in 2025: the most important news, and the results I achieved.

Fossery Tech  Dec 30, 2024

Hey everyone! This year I didn't have time to make a summary video for 2024, so I write these posts instead.

There was a lot happening in the Linux and FOSS world! We saw KDE Plasma 6 Mega Release, COSMIC alpha releases, Vanilla OS 2 with Debian base instead of Ubuntu, more desktop environments going for Wayland support (Cinnamon, Xfce, LXQt), Fedora Workstation drops X11 session in version 41, critical XZ vulnerability, blue screen of death comes to Linux thanks to Systemd, Flathub planning payment system, various gaming improvements on Linux, GIMP 3 RCs (meme is soon over lol), Ente went open source, some software are discontinued (DivestOS, Nitter, HexChat, ClamTk, Neofetch), Minetest renamed to Luanti, Proton releases Scribe AI feature for their Mail service (beating Gmail in the AI competition), Proton acquires Standard Notes, revamped Mastodon web UI, a huge antitrust lawsuit is filed against Google which might force them to break search engine deal with Mozilla (endangering Mozilla's future), open source password managers (KeePassXC, Bitwarden, Proton Pass) implement Passkey support, Meta/Instagram starting to EEE the Fediverse by implementing ActivityPub support for Threads, YouTube cracking down on alternative frontends (Invidious, Piped, PokeTube etc.), Odysee recovering from LBRY bankruptcy and continue under Arweave's umbrella (also planning to build a Fediverse-like network on top of Arweave), YouTube doesn't like Odysee recovering and limits sync capability also affecting PeerTube's sync feature, and closing the year with a fully revamped PeerTube UI.

Well It's Christmas again, don't mind me doing my regular summary, it's mostly for future me.
- Significantly extended my music library, moved to FLAC as I wanted for at least five last years, it wasn't so hard after all
- Reunited with a lot of music I liked being in high school, finally listened to something I should have listened years ago
- Probably realigned my savings financial plan, hopefully going back on savings
- Reunited with my cat, and got a bird companion my wife always wanted to have (before all birds were bound mostly to me)
- Discovered several new cities I've never been before
- Got significantly better in Portuguese, can even do simple conversation with my wife's friends.
- Financially helped several people in need, I hope it was helpful enough
- Reestablished a sort of fellowship with my ex colleagues, miss the times we were working together
- Sort of reestablished connection with my best friend from university times, funny, those times I didn't even knew he was my best friend, but now it's obvious
- Had lot's of fun playing some music with friends from Fedi, I wish I did it more
- Had some official music paperwork, never thought I could write a legally accurate music document
- Finally started learning Japanese, as I always wanted
- Had a skate ride in Rio
- Learned or started learning many new tech
- Programmed a lot, I think I was my most programmy year, look at the picture - all of this is on top of my fulltime job, interviews, test tasks and assistance.

Is that all? I don't know, but this is the stuff I could recall now
