Compiling yet another Buildroot image I’m 99% sure will fail… but at least this time the soundtrack is Sunshine by Alice in Chains, so the suffering feels poetic ❤️

If the build breaks, at least the vibe doesn’t 🤟🏻

Trying to build a GUI Linux distro with Buildroot. Just Buildroot. No Debian, no Arch. Just pain 🫩

Xorg? Black screen. Wayland? Sounds like a fantasy novel. Kernel panic? Oh yeah, got that too 🫨

But I will make this work, because minimalism deserves a desktop 🤟🏻

Recalbox 10 is finally here! 🎮

An impressive update for Raspberry Pi, Steam Deck, CRT and even JAMMA. The team behind Recalbox does remarkable quality work — and on top of that, they're super nice!

Recalbox 10 is available: the most ambitious version ever created

After more than 10 years of existence, Recalbox reaches a decisive milestone with the release of version 10 — far more than a simple update. This new iteration marks a true turning point for the distribution, with the integration of new hardware, new systems, a complete overhaul of the user inter

Some of these dongles actually work on #zeST. But:
- with an outdated stable release of #Buildroot from 2024.
- with an outdated #Linux kernel from 2023.

So older devices may be working, newer devices absolutely not.

After way too many attempts, I finally got a custom GRUB2 EFI bootloader built with Buildroot showing a splash image at boot on real hardware 🎉

The secret? insmod gfxterm_background + font in the right path.

Simple in theory, painful in practice 🤕

Caca pour virer le «.:» dans le PATH mais je ne sais pas d'où il vient ...

```Bash
export PATH="${PATH//.:/}"
```

Sans ça, buildroot veut pas compiler :(

So, Infix OS has been upgraded to #buildroot 2026.02 LTS well in time for our 26.03 release. We've actually been tracking it since -rc1, so this was more of a formality to rebase and rerun our regression tests. Mattias (lazzer) worked relentlessly on this, while still managing to do a ton of other things as well.

Looking forward to our next release, hopefully my BPi-R64 porting work will be done by then as well 🤩
