💰 Finanțarea proiectului Omarchy urcă la 13M$, cu un buget anual de peste 4M$ alocat dezvoltării!Publicația Linuxiac detaliază expansiunea financiară fără precedent a proiectului Omarchy — distribuția Linux bazată pe Arch Linux inițiată de David Heinemeier Hansson (DHH, creatorul Ruby on Rails). Proiectul atrage resurse majore pentru a transforma o distribuție de nișă într-o alternativă desktop complet finisată și modernă.✨ Punctele cheie ale finanțării și direcției Omarchy:💵 Capital masiv de 13 milioane de dolari:• Proiectul a strâns fonduri totale de 13 milioane de dolari, stabilind un buget operațional anual sustenabil de peste 4 milioane de dolari dedicat exclusiv dezvoltării și ecosistemului hardware/software.👨‍💻 Echipă plătită și dezvoltare accelerată:• Spre deosebire de majoritatea distribuțiilor comunitare care se bazează pe voluntariat, bugetul permite angajarea de ingineri full-time pentru a optimiza kernel-ul, interfața grafică și integrarea driverelor.🎯 Viziune „Opinionated” & Experiență Out-of-the-Box:• Omarchy păstrează flexibilitatea și modelul rolling-release din Arch Linux, dar elimină complexitatea instalării manuale, oferind un mediu de lucru preconfigurat, minimalist, axat pe productivitate și performanță maximă.🖥️ Spre paritate cu sistemele de operare comerciale:• Resursele masive au ca scop direct transformarea Linux-ului pe desktop într-o opțiune atractivă pentru dezvoltatori și profesioniști din afara sferei tradiționale FOSS, rivalizând cu finisajul oferit de macOS.🔗 Sursă și articol complet:https://linuxiac.com/omarchy-funding-climbs-to-13m-with-over-4m-a-year-set-for-spending/📌 Concluzie:Injecția de capital în proiectul Omarchy marchează un moment rar în ecosistemul Arch Linux, aducând resurse financiare de nivel enterprise pentru a livra un desktop Linux ultramodern și fără compromisuri! 🚀#Omarchy #ArchLinux #DHH #Linuxiac #OpenSource #TechNews #LinuxDesktop #FOSS #DevOps

🚀 Asahi Linux adaugă suport oficial pentru cipuri Apple Silicon M3 (M3, M3 Pro și M3 Max)!

Echipa din spatele proiectului Asahi Linux a lansat un milestone major de dezvoltare: instalatorul oficial suportă acum nativ Mac-urile echipate cu procesoare din seria Apple M3. Cele mai multe dintre funcționalitățile deja mature de pe generațiile M1 și M2 sunt acum pe deplin operaționale și pe cipurile M3.

✨ Punctele cheie ale lansării suportului M3 în Asahi Linux:

💻 Hardware și periferice funcționale imediat (Out-of-the-Box):
• Suport complet pentru camera web, microfoanele interne, modulele Wi-Fi și Bluetooth, alături de conectivitatea USB (până la limita hardware de USB 3 10 Gb/s).
• Decodare video accelerată hardware (inclusiv suport nativ pentru codec-ul AV1).

🧪 Modul de instalare și disponibilitate:
• În prezent, instalarea pe cipuri M3 este protejată prin filtrul EXPERT=1 în scriptul de instalare (curl -L [https://alx.sh/](https://alx.sh/) | EXPERT=1 sh), urmând ca această cerință să fie eliminată odată cu lansarea Fedora Linux Beta.

⚠️ Limitări cunoscute în faza actuală:
• Accelerare GPU & 3D: Suportul complet pentru GPU și motorul Display Controller Pipeline (DCP) sunt încă în lucru. În prezent, nu există accelerare 3D eficientă energetic.
• Ieșire video & Mod Sleep: Din cauza lipsei driver-ului DCP complet, porturile HDMI dedicate de pe MacBook-uri sunt dezactivate, iar modul Sleep nu funcționează deocamdată pe framebuffer-ul furnizat de firmware.
• Compatibilitate modele: Sunt suportate modelele MacBook și iMac echipate cu M3, M3 Pro și M3 Max (suportul pentru Mac Studio / M3 Ultra va urma ulterior).

🔗 Sursă și articol complet:

📌 Concluzie:

Extinderea Asahi Linux către seria M3 reprezintă un pas uriaș de inginerie prin reverse-engineering, aducând ecosistemul Linux tot mai aproape de paritatea completă pe întreaga gamă de hardware Apple Silicon! 🚀

🚨 Breaking News: The Nitter project is still alive, thanks to some *riveting* legal advice. Apparently, GitHub is trying to convince everyone that using AI to write code makes them "developers" now. 🤖🔧 Meanwhile, Twitter alternatives keep popping up like mushrooms after a rainstorm, but who knows how long this one will last? 🍄⏳
