AerynOS 2025.12 ISO release and update blog post

https://aerynos.com/blog/2025/12/09/november-and-early-december-blog-post/

It's been a busy period for the AerynOS team with updates across the board including a number of "back end" changes as well.

We have implemented a new server, changed to Zulip for our instant messaging platform and changed our email provider all whilst continuing to land package updates including KDE Plasma 6.5.4 and Cosmic Beta 9. We have fixed a number of bugs and started landing new features.

Next up is our Versioned Repositories work which will enable big changes to our capabilities in 2026!

As ever, if you want to engage with the project please join us on Zulip:

Alternative a Discord

Quali alternative a Discordo esistono? Abbiamo provato a riassumere alcune alternative possibile in questo articolo!

Hello there. My group has been using (free) Slack for chatting among ourselves. We are ~20 ppl in 3 locations, so chat has to work.

We want to move, but whereto? We consider #NextCloud Talk, #Mattermost, or #Zulip. We are fine with #selfhosting. It must be #opensource. We just need the chat, not integration with video or other advanced features.

What are you using? Where would you move to (and why)?
