AerynOS 2025.12 ISO release and update blog post

https://aerynos.com/blog/2025/12/09/november-and-early-december-blog-post/

It's been a busy period for the AerynOS team with updates across the board including a number of "back end" changes as well.

We have implemented a new server, changed to Zulip for our instant messaging platform and changed our email provider all whilst continuing to land package updates including KDE Plasma 6.5.4 and Cosmic Beta 9. We have fixed a number of bugs and started landing new features.

Next up is our Versioned Repositories work which will enable big changes to our capabilities in 2026!

As ever, if you want to engage with the project please join us on Zulip:

@AerynOS Is that stock COSMIC or has the padding on the dock been tweaked?

@edfloreshz my understanding is that it's stock but I will need to double check with our Cosmic packaging team to confirm.

We aren't really tweaking/ricing cosmic so I would be surprised if we played with padding by default.

@AerynOS Maybe the stock settings were updated recently, last I checked it looked differently.
@edfloreshz for the sake of the screenshot not being massive, I also used a fairly low resolution in my VM so it could be that too...
