We Are Still Very Much Alive

We've noticed some concern in the Linux community about the state of Lunar Linux, given periods of apparent inactivity on our public-facing channels. We'd like to take this opportunity to assure everyone that Lunar Linux is still very much alive and under active development.

Behind the Scenes

While our public announcements have been less frequent over the past months, development work has continued steadily behind the scenes:

Core infrastructure improvements: We've been refactoring significant portions of our build system to improve reliability and performance.
Package updates: The package repository continues to receive regular updates, focusing on security patches and new upstream releases.
Testing and stability: We've been putting extra effort into our testing processes to ensure that Lunar Linux remains one of the most stable source-based distributions available.

Community Growth

Our community continues to grow, albeit at a measured pace. We've always focused on quality over quantity, and we're proud of the knowledgeable and helpful community that has developed around Lunar Linux.

The forum and IRC channels remain active, with both long-time users and newcomers sharing knowledge and providing support.

Looking Ahead

We have several initiatives planned for the coming months:

New ISO release: Work is underway on a new installation ISO to make it easier for new users to get started with Lunar Linux.
Documentation updates: We're revamping our documentation to make it more comprehensive and accessible.
Website refresh: Plans are in place to update our website with a more modern design and improved organization.
