Today, 25 August 2026, marks 35 years since a 21-year-old student in Helsinki posted to comp.os.minix:

Hello everybody out there using minix-

The people behind Vendefoul Linux decided to make a version of their distribution with our desktop. It is in an experimental state for now, because at the moment vasak-desktop does not have broad compatibility with other non-systemd inits; we will work together anyway to make the desktop integration easier.

Today we published our second plugin for Tauri. It is a simple abstraction of something we had been doing in our applications. We managed to extract the code and publish it as a plugin so that any developer can use it. It is called tauri-plugin-user-data and it lets you use user data quickly and easily in your applications. It is completely free and open source, so any developer can use it.

This is an Alpha release. It installs and runs, but some features are incomplete and things change between builds. Before replacing your main system, read the   state of the project .
