Adélie Linux

Adélie Linux - Refined. Reliable. Ready.

[Adélie Linux @AdelieLinux]

@JoshuaMD80 Yes! But you may find some installer issues right now on PowerPC. You will need to do the partitioning using another tool, perhaps Disk Utility.

We are proud to announce the release of Adélie #Linux 1.0-BETA5, available now for 32- and 64-bit Arm, Power, and x86!

Release notes, download links, and more fun can be found on our release announcement: https://t.co/gWLGE9AzQ7

[Adélie Linux @AdelieLinux]

@sskras @oratnac @openbsd @gentoo @DistroWatch Thank you for your question. As noted in our Installation Handbook, 32-bit x86 is an i586 class with MMX extensions. We hope this helps.

The Adélie Linux distribution is announcing a strategic change in leadership to further refine and drive its mission. Read more about this and other exciting updates here: https://t.co/4vN617cs2g

@p2cspace @kd8bxp Yes, we're still around. We have a new project lead, but most of our team remains the same.

[Miguel de Icaza ᯅ🍉 @migueldeicaza]

We will now support Java too. Microsoft’s developer division will be maintaining and supporting OpenJDK: https://t.co/WL09arSkRY

@jhamby We share many of these convictions. Our team lived through the history you have chronicled, and we believe what you do. #Linux does not need to be hard to use; it can be as easy as we care to make it! #usability #foss

[Adélie Linux @AdelieLinux]

Adélie Linux 1.0-RC2 is released! This includes our new installation system on our installation media, and live CDs for trying out #KDE #Plasma, MATE, and LXQt.

Happy to release gcompat 1.0.0 to the world! https://t.co/rurt2ioFjt

gcompat is our project to run glibc-linked binaries on musl. Most simple software works, notably including Spotify client on x86_64.

@astr0baby @shawnanastasio It is in fact POWER9. Performance is simply a dream; single thread workloads can easily outperform first gen EPYC.

Using Talos let us iterate so much faster. Newer LLVM in Adélie is only possible because it builds in 8 minutes on Talos.

[Adélie Linux @AdelieLinux]

@mpc7500v2 @astr0baby @shawnanastasio We are hopeful that this is not the case. Gentoo supports PPC64. Debian recently added a powerful server for building the PPC64 port. Ataraxia supports PPC64, albeit not every release has ISOs.

If other distributions need PPC64 help, they can contact us. We'd be happy to help!

[Adélie Linux @AdelieLinux]

@astr0baby @shawnanastasio We test every release on G5 and pSeries in addition to Raptor Talos 2 platform. We ❤️ PPC64

@AnteefaA Hi. One of our project's founders is Pottawatomie. We do not condone past actions that in any way discriminated against BIPOC, including that Tulsa was founded on Muscogee/Cherokee land. We wish to look forward towards a future that provides respect and justice for all people.

[Adélie Linux @AdelieLinux]

Proud to be a member of the resilient Tulsa community this #918Day!

#ARMv7 packages being built once again. Welcome back, Pi 2 and others!

@fra_il_chimico Hi there! Adélie should run fine on G3. 1G RAM is plenty, and SSD should perform well. Rage128 will work but will not have OpenGL acceleration at this time. Any other q's, feel free to Tweet, IRC, or use our mailing lists. Have fun!

[Adélie Linux @AdelieLinux]

#Horizon: Custom package selection is now fully implemented. The software listed is in a text file separate from the code, so we can easily maintain and update it as user needs dictate.

@ikey_doherty @weh_kaniini @alpinelinux Our getconf is clean-roomed (see https://t.co/6fId5bvvQ3) but it doesn't meet your goal of being Linux-only. This was to ensure portability to other kernels if anyone ever wanted to do a kFreeBSD-like port.

We don't have a decent getent yet, so we're excited to see what you do!

[Adélie Linux @AdelieLinux]

@ikey_doherty @weh_kaniini @alpinelinux And that's what makes this ecosystem so great.

Our goals are almost exactly the opposite as Serpent, but we look forward to working together on common aims (making musl perform well on modern h/w, improving clang, etc) where it makes sense. 👍🏻

[Adélie Linux @AdelieLinux]

@ikey_doherty @weh_kaniini @alpinelinux We always welcome new distros and ways of doing things to the musl landscape. That's how to grow a vibrant, diverse ecosystem that can reach & help the max # of ppl.

It's a common misconception that we're related to Alpine. We share tooling but have wide diffs in goals & ideals.

[Adélie Linux @AdelieLinux]

A fun usage of our gcompat library: Spotify!
