Debby<p>🌟 Exciting News for X11 Enthusiasts! 🌟</p><p>Have you heard about The Wayback Project? It's an innovative initiative aiming to save classic X11 desktops from becoming obsolete with the rise of Wayland. 💻</p><p>The Wayback Project introduces an experimental Wayland compositor that hosts a "rootful" Xwayland instance. This means your favorite X11 desktop environments like Cinnamon, Xfce, LXDE, and even W3 can run seamlessly on Wayland 🚀</p><p>Created by the talented Alpine Linux developer Ariadne Conill, this project is a game-changer for those of us who still rely on legacy desktops and apps. Early builds are already up and running, bugs and all, and the project is actively seeking testers and contributors to help refine and improve it.</p><p>Check out this video to learn more: <br>The Wayback Project wants to save X11 Desktops from the coming of Wayland <a href="https://youtu.be/6rEJI5oro8M" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">youtu.be/6rEJI5oro8M</span><span class="invisible"></span></a><br> Thanks to <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mast.linuxgamecast.com/@Jill_linuxgirl" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>Jill_linuxgirl</span></a></span> :blob_cat_heart: </p><p><a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Linux</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/Wayland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Wayland</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/X11" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>X11</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/OpenSource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OpenSource</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/TechInnovation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TechInnovation</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/TheWaybackProject" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TheWaybackProject</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/AriadneConill" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AriadneConill</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/AlpineLinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AlpineLinux</span></a></p>

I couldn't figure out how to add my #matrix account to the Chats app, so that's why I fell back to using #irc
That said, I'm surprised the #gnome weather app worked... because it doesn't on normal #alpinelinux o_O.
I'll try to add my calendar and contacts later and see if I can make an actual phone call... crazy stuff :}

Updating from my #alpinelinux laptop... because typing on the #postmarketos #gnome shell is really challenging/unforgiving both in terms of latency and accuracy.
I was not a fan of #firefox, especially with the bottom address bar, so I used console to install #epiphany via:
$ doas apk add epiphany
Not only does epiphany look better on the phone, but it also allows me to install web apps, which I did for #thelounge, a web-based #irc client.
We'd like to welcome @fossdd and Mio as new Alpine Linux developers.
We really appreciate all the work they and the rest of the community have done.

But #AlpineLinux gets better and better .. go figure!
@Snoro
We talked about the roadmap for #AlpineLinux 3.23 yesterday. So far we have:
- apk-tools 3.0
- gcc 15
- python 3.13
- improve/clean up Alpine user handbook (we need volunteers for this)
See
https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/aports/-/issues/17294 if you want help or have things you are working on that should be included.
We are planning to update apk-tools to 3.0 in edge repository on July 1, 2025.
We are keeping the apk 2 index and package formats for now, so everything *should* just work, but scripts parsing the output of apk may need to be adjusted.
Time for another blog post, about hosting a fediverse instance on my ancient Raspberry Pi. Obviously I had to share it on the fediverse.

Here's a blog post on setting up Alpine Linux on my old 256MB Raspberry Pi in diskless mode and having it host a static site (and now my blog). I'll write up another on how I got Snac installed to have it host my fediverse presence over the next few days. Enjoy!

Hey #Linux / #Mesa / #gallium folks,
I'm having a problem where I can't start any graphical user interface, whether it's wayland or x11 because the driver files given by mesa don't have the __driDriverExtensions symbol
Anyone know how to deal with this? I'm on #AlpineLinux / #AsahiLinux. If you have a lot of linux friends, feel free to boost!

@resingm I don’t think there are any books on Alpine Linux. What should such a book include or cover to be a great book?
Is there any great book on #AlpineLinux ? I love the concept, and love the considerations of the operating system. Yet, I usually opt for #Debian since I am much more familiar with it. It would be great to change that in the mid-term.
first linux regression in a while: an update from an #AlpineLinux package caused a driver .so file to be removed and now i can no longer run GDM, X11 or wayland

@jbz Currently, my self-hosted services and appliances rely on either #alpinelinux - utilizing OpenRC instead of systemd - or OpenWrt. With both I am relatively satisfied, and I have a feeling that I have my stuff under control.
FreeBSD is definitely on my watchlist for a no-nonsense OS. Once I have some time to spare, I‘m investigating how I could run niceties like paperless-ngx and immich on it.
I've enabled #OpenRC user services for Pipewire (pipewire, pipewire-pulse, wireplumber) and D-Bus as dependency on #postmarketOS today. Works pretty well, but I had to patch phosh.desktop to not start a new D-Bus session. Someone already reported the same issue to Alpine with Sway, I think ideally D-Bus would provide a wrapper script around dbus-run-session (or an option) to only start a new session if there isn't one. Tinydm has a way to handle that, but simply removing the call entirely might break with other login managers.
I'm curious where OpenRC user services will go, I was thinking about switching to pmOS/systemd once that's ripened a bit more, but if OpenRC can manage user sessions, too, maybe not.
