I'm going to deprecate support for XFCE tarballs. Users have the full ability to manually install anything they want. Is this a good choice?
Or, you guys can contribute to https://github.com/ravindu644/Droidspaces-rootfs-builder to add support for your favorite distros and desktop environments.

DroidSpaces vs. Termux+LXC Duct Tape
Testing the limits of containerization on a literal potato:
Device:
Chipset:
The "Duct Tape" Method (Termux + LXC) 🤡
- Setup: 6,999,999 manual config changes, cgroup nightmares, and GPG errors.
- Boot Time: 732ms (Userspace)
- Status: Fragile. White logs. One RAM spike away from being killed by Android.
The Native Execution (DroidSpaces) 🗿
- Setup: Native integration, zero manual mounting.
- Boot Time: 423ms (Userspace) - Nearly 2x FASTER.
- Status: Clean Green [ OK ] logs. Running as a persistent system daemon.
- Pure Cgroupv2
The numbers don't lie. Even on a budget Dimensity chip, DroidSpaces hits

If you are maintaining a kernel with Droidspaces support, you can now add your kernel to our "Community-supported Android devices" section in the documentation.
This list helps users identify second hand phones that work for self hosting as an alternative to buying an expensive Raspberry Pi.
By contributing your device details, you provide a clear path for others to flash the correct firmware and turn their hardware into servers.
Documentation link:
https://github.com/ravindu644/Droidspaces-OSS/blob/main/Documentation/community-supported-devices.md
Let's build this resource together to help the community repurpose spare devices for the greater good.

The next version of Droidspaces will be released today, only if there are no critical bugs or weird issues you guys are facing in the latest CI build:
https://t.me/DroidspacesCI/260?single
It's hella stable, with a new UI, Ubuntu 26.04 support, systemd-udevd support without messing up Android, enhanced security, and more!

Since we are one step away from the next release, we have to fix the untranslated strings that exist in already translated languages.
As the "Get Started" page that appears only on fresh installs has been redesigned, it introduced a few new strings that haven't been translated yet, except for Chinese.
So, if someone installs Droidspaces for the first time, the start page would appear fully in English, while the rest appears in their native language.
We have to fix this :)

> Released v6.1.0 after around 3 weeks of intense testing.
> Though the release is stable, I released it
> and instantly found 2 different bugs related to the UI and the container name length validation in the app's UI, which is meant to reject long container names.

Power of Droidspaces 🗿
You can even nuke the entire app. Your containers will still run in the background 😏
