Hello everyone!!

D.eSystem 6.0.6 alpha introduces the first GUI for my operating system D.eSystem 6.

The system is currently keyboard‑only, but mouse support is planned for future versions.

The usage is similar to D.eSystem 6.0.5, but now with a graphical interface, and the calculator also received a GUI version.

Requirements:

64‑bit CPU

UEFI firmware (Legacy BIOS is not supported)

D.eSystem 6.0.6 alpha runs on any VM (QEMU, VirtualBox, VMware) and on real hardware.

Download D.eSystem 6.0.6 alpha here: https://github.com/D-electronics-scratch/D.eSystem-6.0.6-alpha-iso-download

Should I only have one reposotory?

[–] rimu@piefed.social 5 points 5 days ago

That is the convention. It is also common for devs to make a new branch for each release so you can issue updates for that version by adding a commit to that branch.

Definitely one and only one repository where the "versions / releases" are branches or tags. That way, you can compare your versions with git, fix an old version, etc.

Having multiple repositories is a PITA for you and for others.

I like this branching strategy but you can use your own: https://trunkbaseddevelopment.com/

Ok,thanks for your tip

You should also have a backup somewhere else every other major release in case GitHub glitches out and decides to delete your account, or marks it as malware or such. It's happened to even better known projects like KitchenOwl.
