New Release Approaching Fast!
We are excited to announce that our new release is approaching quickly, with an estimated release date of May 25th. Our team is working actively on the final touches, focusing on stability and fine-tuning advanced features such as 3D and video acceleration. We’re utilizing the best available methods, as there are multiple options to consider.
We are adjusting our build targets to include stable, rolling and application-specific builds.
Stable Releases: For those who prefer a more reliable and tested environment.
Rolling Releases: For the latest updates and experimental features.
Applications: Optimized builds for specific applications.
We will continue to support Jammy (old stable Ubuntu) while gradually introducing Noble as the latter has numerous bugs from upstream user space applications.
Official Partnership with Radxa:
We are thrilled to announce a new official partnership with Radxa. This collaboration will enhance support for their newly released RK3588 boards, bringing more robust and reliable options to our users.
Community Engagement and Giveaways:
One of our current giveaways is nearing its end, but don’t worry – a new one is here! Stay tuned for more exciting opportunities.
Focus Areas:
As we approach the release date, we ask for your help, especially in the areas of desktop acceleration and desktop environments. While we have covered base OS system features well, your contributions and feedback are invaluable.
Community Poll Results:
We recently conducted a poll to understand our community’s involvement in open-source projects. Here are the results:
These results are based on 63 votes and show a vibrant and engaged community, with a significant number of active and occasional contributors. For those who haven’t contributed yet but would like to, we encourage you to get involved. Your participation can make a significant difference!
Thank you for your continued support and contributions. Together, we can make Armbian even better!
Best regards,
The Armbian Team
