We today released #SonicDE version 6.7.0, aligning it with #KDE Plasma 6.7.0. You can find x86_64 binary packages for #ArchLinux at https://sonicde-arch.github.io and for #ArtixLinux at https://sonicde-artix.github.io. Other package maintainers will very likely follow suit in the next few days.

We're currently updating #SonicDE to version 6.7 like #KDE did. To our #ArchLinux and #ArtixLinux users: Please postpone updates for one or two days to avoid incompatibilities. We'll let you know as soon as 6.7 is ready. https://github.com/Sonic-DE/sonic-win/releases/tag/6.7.0

We forked the #KDE Plasma Login Manager. It now runs on #X11, drops privileges after init, and supports #systemd-free too. We tested it on Artix Linux with OpenRC, CachyOS with systemd, and on the #FreeBSD-based GhostBSD. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTnV7-nfgX4 https://github.com/Sonic-DE/sonic-login-manager

We consolidated the #SonicDE for #ArchLinux packages and created a standalone repository at https://sonicde-arch.github.io. There, we provide binary packages for x86_64 and maintain the PKGBUILDs for the #AUR. Please update any existing custom SonicDE entries in your pacman.conf.

The maintainers of @openmandriva have created initial packages for #SonicDE and are now calling for testers. You're welcome to read the instructions and leave feedback at https://forum.openmandriva.org/t/sonicde-call-for-testing/8822.

SonicDE call for testing

Thanks to the SonicDE team we are now able to start preliminary testing of their X11 only fork of Plasma. Please be advised of the following caveats: The sonic-* packages make use of a mix of KDE and SonicDE dependencies at this time. The SonicDE dependencies have not had an asset rename, yet. As a result, you cannot have both plasma and sonic packages installed at the same time. There are conflicts baked into the packages that will not allow it. Testing does not mean “production ready” and y...

📢 Child Protection Is Not Access Control

Age verification is spreading beyond adult sites into social media, messaging, gaming. Even operating systems. The framing says it's for children. The effect is something else: a permissioned internet where access requires proof of identity.

We can and should protect children without turning the network into a checkpoint.

Do Not Turn Child Protection Into Internet Access Control

Age verification turns the open internet into a permission system and pushes control away from families, schools, and users.
