We at @parchlinux have started building something we've wanted for a long time: a full accessibility layer baked into the distro itself, not bolted on as an afterthought. Persian voice support, offline speech recognition, and a design that treats every desktop environment the same way. 🧵👇

After a grueling 2,000-hour nationwide internet shutdown in Iran, international connectivity has finally returned to the Parch Linux servers.
This prolonged outage completely destroyed our SEO. Searching for our project yielded zero results for months, which took a massive toll on our visibility and progress. Now that we are back online, I am trying to figure out how to rebuild the lost trust of our international users and effectively promote the project again. Unfortunately, open-source news outlets have rarely covered us unless we directly request a feature.
Despite these hurdles, I am incredibly relieved that the connection is restored and people outside of Iran can finally see our work once more.
Hoping for freedom.

We are now running all Parch Linux infrastructure on Parch Linux itself.
This is an important milestone for us. We trust our own system in production. Build, CI, repositories, services. All powered by Parch.
We are also preparing to unveil a dedicated Parch Server edition. It is designed to be practical and accessible for everyone. It includes several focused features that we will explain soon in a detailed post on the official Parch Linux English blog.
Unfortunately, this progress comes at a difficult time for my country, Iran. The situation here is unstable and hard for many people.
I ask you to keep the people of Iran in your thoughts. We hope to pass through these conditions safely and reach freedom.

Merry Christmas, bsd.cafe! 🎄
I’m looking for some brutal honesty to help shape the future of Parch Linux.
Beyond the hype and the "shiny new things," what actually makes a distro livable day after day? I’m looking for solid, battle-tested opinions on what constitutes a good system when the novelty wears off.
If you could architect the "perfect" daily driver based purely on reliability and workflow, what acts as the foundation?

i just tested #ParchLinux image on #FreeBSD with this guide.

Well, it feels good :)

Hello Fediverse and BSD Cafe :D
I am working on some sets of scripts to improve the usabilty of #ParchLinux and also create a TUI installer by merging all of them together Just like the FreeBSD TUI installer.
This is the First of them, it helps users to manage their locales, and also i should create a pacman hook for it too.

I’ve started writing a Mirror Manager for #ParchLinux from scratch using Python, GTK4, and Libadwaita.
It’s called Mirrorman, and it still needs some work before becoming fully stable.
For now, it fetches the country list, pings the mirrors, sorts them by speed, and saves the results to the mirrorlist file.
I’ve already implemented most of #Reflector ’s features, and I plan to add more and release the source code under GPL-3 tomorrow.
Any suggestions are welcome! :)

A user on Twitter, or X as it's called now, posted something saying: "Parch Linux is a stupid project. Period."
Then, when someone asked for their reason, they replied:
"A useless project driven by the ego of its creator. Look at what DHH has done with Omarchy. He is actually HELPING people. What has Parch achieved?"
I don't care about other distributions or how they develop or not. I don't see this as a competition at all. Every distribution has its own goal. Acting like that wouldn't be befitting of me as a distribution developer.
But the point is that most of the hype around the Omarchy distribution comes from it being developed by a famous person. I haven't even installed it to see if it offers anything special (7 gigabytes of download takes a long time on my internet), but this behavior from people suddenly gathering and making simplistic final judgments, dismissing the efforts of a group of people is not good at all, and it's seen quite often.
I've been developing this distribution alone for a long time, so logically, I can't manage everything at once. For example, the development of the Parch store, which was supposed to be done with Rust and GTK, is currently suspended because we don't have contributors. Right now, with university starting, the only thing I can do is make sure the distribution maintains its stability. Because of this, I couldn't reach the roadmap I had set, and many parts weren't completed. But some people don't see these things and have strange expectations from a developer who initially built something just for themselves and doesn't receive any money in return.
Sorry for ranting too much; I haven't been around for a while and wanted to start being active again a bit :)

@flamingradian
I compiled that kernel myself a long time ago :)))
im working on making a usable ci/cd for #ParchLinux mobile, yet we need to finish our work on desktop first -

So... i decided to become active on Dev.to platform so i wrote an article on there about #parchlinux

I have rested enough, and during this time when I did nothing, it became clear to me that the #ParchLinux project won't move forward unless I take action.
Now, I intend to resume work on the project. My plan is to enhance the documentation and record a few tutorials as well.

im looking forward to change some applications in #parchlinux #gnome variant such as replacing Tweaks with refine and removing some gnome legacy applications.

we are looking to improve user experience on Parch Linux for beginners, so we started a project called #Pastor which stands for Parch Store.
This is how it looks for now, we look forward to implement some features inside of this application.
more information would be posted on #ParchLinux Blog at:

Since we migrated our project #ParchLinux from #GitLab to #Forgejo, the server load has dropped significantly!
Previously, building each ISO took about 40 minutes with GitLab, but with Forgejo, this time has been reduced to 13 minutes 😃GitLab charged for most features we needed, like push/pull mirroring repositories from GitHub or other platforms, but in #Forgejo, we get them for free.
I’d like to thank the Forgejo developers for creating such a great platform that saved us from GitLab’s clutches.
