Debby🌟 Exciting News for X11 Enthusiasts! 🌟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. 💻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 🚀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.Check out this video to learn more: The Wayback Project wants to save X11 Desktops from the coming of Wayland <a href="https://youtu.be/6rEJI5oro8M" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/6rEJI5oro8M</a> Thanks to <a href="https://mast.linuxgamecast.com/@Jill_linuxgirl" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@Jill_linuxgirl</a> :blob_cat_heart: <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Linux</a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/Wayland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Wayland</a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/X11" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#X11</a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/OpenSource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OpenSource</a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/TechInnovation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TechInnovation</a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/TheWaybackProject" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TheWaybackProject</a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/AriadneConill" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AriadneConill</a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/AlpineLinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AlpineLinux</a>

Thomas LiskeI'm trying to get a hyperpixel4 display working on RPi CM5 with <a href="https://ibh.social/tags/AlpineLinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AlpineLinux</a> 3.22 (or <a href="https://ibh.social/tags/pmos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#pmos</a>). While the console works on RPi OS it fails on Alpine - using identical config.txt tweaks. 🤔 drm_rp1_dpi and rp1_pio fails to load on Alpine. From loading with insmod it seems that rp1-pio fails due to unknown symbols.The symbols are provided by rp1.ko - but that cannot be loaded due to "module is already loaded" (which it is not ⁉️).Now I'm stucked an weird.

Natanael CopaWe talked about the roadmap for <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/AlpineLinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AlpineLinux</a> 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 <a href="https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/aports/-/issues/17294" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/aports/-/issues/17294</a> if you want help or have things you are working on that should be included.

Natanael CopaWe 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.<a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/AlpineLinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AlpineLinux</a>

Klaus Zimmermann :unverified:<a href="https://mastodon.radio/@ve3mal" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@ve3mal</a> glad you enjoyed the read and that you also got to running <a href="https://c.im/tags/AlpineLinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AlpineLinux</a> on the desktop! Lean, mean and FAST!But yes, the post is four years old when Alpine was, I think, on version 3.17. A lot of things changed since I wrote, including the fact that full disk encryption is a given option right in the installer script - a vast improvement. I probably should write a new guide for it, better yet, make a video about it, since my last one showcasing 3.17 in Peertube got deleted.
