feren OS 2017.0 Wallpaper Contest Submission Page on Flickr

The VERY FIRST ever wallpaper contest for feren OS 2017.0 has begun with a Flickr page waiting for submissions ready for the contest! This contest will last until the 28th February 2017 so get those submissions in quick for a chance to have your wallpapers featured in feren OS 2017.0!

Rules

Licenses:
Your license is the permission you grant others to redistribute your artwork. If you tell me I don't have permission to give feren the right to redistribute your artwork then I will respect your wishes as long as you don't post that artwork on the group and withhold the use of that artwork as that creates a massive amount of overhead through screening, removal, and notification.

The following licenses are not acceptable because they do not allow Ubuntu to share your photos with others:

- Copyright

This gives feren no permission at all to share your photos with its users and allow them to reshare your photos as well.

- CC-BY-NC, CC-BY-SA-NC

feren OS could turn into a commercial product, therefore, a Creative Commons non-commercial license automatically prevents feren from possibly using your photo in the future.

In addition, feren allows users and developers to use feren OS for any purpose, commercial or non-commercial. These licenses would prevent feren OS from giving its desktop users the freedom to use feren OS for any purpose they desire

feren OS is made up of Free Software and Open Source Software and the Free Culture Showcase is a way to celebrate open culture and sharing by highlighting artists who have chosen to share photos by releasing them under a Creative Commons license. This allows others (including feren OS) to share your photos with others. The following licenses are acceptable for this contest:

- CC-BY, CC-BY-SA, CC-0

I respect the hard work that went into creating your submissions and want to respect your wishes as to how your photos are used.

NSFW Artwork:
NSFW Artwork is simply not allowed by any means on the Photo Pool and will be removed if found.

Competition Date:
The competition will run until the end of February where the best of the wallpapers will then be added into feren OS 2017.0.

Types of wallpaper that can't be allowed:
1. Low-quality wallpapers
2. Branding in the way of wallpaper wallpapers
3. Text in Wallpapers that you want people to read because people aren't probably gonna see it anyways
4. Multiple points of focus wallpapers
5. Too many colours, shapes, and so on wallpapers
​

Feel free to send me any questions you may have.

feren OS 2016.2 RC Released - Next ISO, 2016.2 Stable

19/8/2016

Comments

 
Picture
Today marks the release of the RC of feren OS's best version yet, 2016.2. Many things have been improved in this RC from 2016.2 BETA and it means we're one step from Stable. Now is more important than ever to report any bugs you find through the 'Send Feedback' Application as we've already fixed most of the bugs we've found in BETA this time around.

Changes from 2016.2 BETA:

  • BETA has been replaced with RC
  • All the latest packages and updates have been installed into the RC
  • FIXED every bug except one which needs GTK Theme reconstruction to fix
  • The Live CD Boot Screen now shows a USB icon with blue dots underneath it
  • feren OS's boot screen has been moved to it's own respective folder to keep it from being reset to Linux Mint's boot screen theme
  • feren OS's (installed system) boot screen is now black with a white logo to look nicer and to reduce eye strain
  • Vivaldi is now on 1.3 Stable and now has it's own themes for feren OS GTK Unification with the browser
  • Speed Dial Thumbnails in Vivaldi have been changed to their respective defaults with Vivaldi Community now sporting an animated tile and the feren websites having their own tile images
  • Some added miscellaneous applications
  • Variety is now on 1.6.2 (New mode: Safe Mode)
  • New Application: PlayOnLinux
  • New Application: Steam
  • feren Cinnamon theme: Applets now have a flattened hover effect
  • Mint Sources now has feren OS icons on its sections
  • Mint Backup also now sports feren OS icons in it
  • Some more new stuff I forgot about...

Known Bugs:

  • GTK: Dark Themes have disappearing GTK3 items at random times of theme use (REQUIRES GTK THEME RECONSTRUCTION, WILL BE DONE IN 2017.0)
  • Annoyingly, any updates to Mint tools will reset their artwork to Mint Defaults, I'm currently trying to get a dummy package to make and then work inside a repository of mine so that I can then follow that model to make packages for feren OS apps, etc, and that might even end up in making feren OS Rolling Release some time afterwards... (Not to be fixed anytime soon (Because doing that dummy package is proving to be a pain to get working) and doesn't affect anything other than changing some icons back to the ones you'll see in Linux Mint 18...)

Today marks the release of the BETA of feren OS's best version yet, 2016.2. Many things have been improved in this BETA from 2016.2 ALPHA and it means we're nearly there in terms of Stable, though, it still has its own set of bugs included with it.

Known Bugs:

  • Themer: Windows XP Silver and Olive Green missing theme set(s)
  • Icon Sets: Icons not downloaded until installed system is booted and then the user logs in, if they haven't got a config before the installation
  • Software doesn't install applications on the LiveCD (GNOME Software Bug)
  • GTK: Dark Themes have disappearing GTK3 items at random times of theme use
  • ISO is nearly 4.0GB in Linux, will try to shrink the ISO as much as possible without affecting product quality (in the RC)
  • Initrd: The boot screen will appear fully black on the Live CD, we're working on fixing that.

Yes, after 1 week of delay no thanks to a installation-preventing bug, feren OS 2016.1 is now Stable for real. This is the first properly stable version we've built with it's predecessor 2015.X, having a Wireless WiFi issue no longer present in the 2016.X series.
