A shoutout to the BL community!

Thanks to the BL community for reaching out and offering us a safe haven from 'that other server'. Let's see if we can pull over some other 'old' AL users here; there are enough links already between the two groups. I certainly feel at home here, having used BL also in the past (and was a member of the forum at the time also). Currently using Gentoo KDE and Arch with nwg-shell (sway+Hyprland). feels good to be back!

Re: A shoutout to the BL community!

All praise to @Sector11, he's the one who came up with this great idea!

Welcome to the BL forum, everyone.

If anyone is interested, the upcoming release of BL will be Boron, based on debian bookworm (current stable), and except for a few final tweaks it's ready to go (you can just run it in LIVE mode if you don't want to install it)...

https://forums.bunsenlabs.org/viewtopic.php?id=8714

The actual Release ISOs will be available as torrents from https://www.bunsenlabs.org/

A note about new registrations, there is a minimum number of posts before you can post links, I think, but it's a small amount. You can post an Introduction and welcome others to get the ball rolling, as well as respond to Help questions or join the General Linux Discussion thread...

https://forums.bunsenlabs.org/viewforum.php?id=23

Once you've been here a bit, I hope you'll join the shenanigans by posting in the monthly Screenshot thread...

https://forums.bunsenlabs.org/viewtopic.php?id=8734

Thanks for joining the BL Forums!

Re: A shoutout to the BL community!

ArchLabs is no more.  Just use Arch itself or EndeavourOS.

Re: A shoutout to the BL community!

I have the last ArchLabs release I can share with you, I have no idea if it will install properly or not though, so I would be at your risk to use it.

Happy to share if you would like it.
