Today marks a bittersIet milestone for the DonutOS community as I announce the end of development for DonutOS and its core project, DonutLinux. Over the years, DonutOS has been more than just an operating system; it has been a vibrant community of passionate individuals who have contributed to a shared vision of innovation, simplicity, and user-friendliness.
DonutOS began as a dream to create an OS that was both powerful and accessible, and with DonutLinux at its heart, I achieved more than I could have ever imagined. From the outset, DonutLinux was designed to be lightweight, flexible, and deliciously easy to use, embodying the spirit of its namesake.
As I move forward, I want to take a moment to reflect on the achievements and challenges I've faced. I've seen incredible feats of engineering, community growth, and collaboration. My open-source project thrived thanks to the dedication and creativity of countless contributors who volunteered their time and skills.
However, the technology landscape is ever-evolving, and with the emergence of new platforms and the shifting focus of my development, I've made the difficult decision to conclude the DonutOS project. This decision was not made lightly, and I understand the impact it may have on my users and contributors.
I want to assure my community that existing versions of DonutOS and DonutLinux will remain available for download, and I'll continue to provide support for these versions until the end of the calendar year. I encourage our users to transition to other platforms at their convenience, and I'm committed to making this transition as smooth as possible.
I extend my heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has been a part of this journey. Your enthusiasm and support have been the lifeblood of DonutOS. As I say goodbye to this chapter, I carry forward the lessons learned and the friendships forged.
Thank you for being part of our story. Here's to the sweet memories and the adventures yet to come.
With appreciation,
Gautham Nair
