T2 Progress
2025-08-24:
- All Linux CPU architectures and drivers
- Crosscompiling from amd64 to many CPU architectures.
- Maintainer at Germany has restored all drivers that Linus Torvalds kernel has deleted, so there are working drivers for PPC Mac WiFi, Itanium CPU, etc
- Large amount of most up-to-date software available: XFCE desktop, Wayland, many programming languages, etc. T2 packages at Repology: https://repology.org/repository/t2
- .iso images for installing to many CPU architectures
- Possible to build from source from x86_64 with Cross-Compiling to all CPU platforms musl or glibc .iso images
- svn repo
./t2command for installing software, compiling, etc- Compiling In English: https://xanthe.cc/?lang=en&a=18
- Compiling In Finnish: https://xanthe.cc/?lang=fi&a=18
- HTML and PDF docs https://t2sde.org/documentation/
- TUI installer like BSD, adds root user account
- GUI installer
- User friendly default settings, like mainstream distros
- Maybe: Microkernel
- Maybe: Mobile T2 Linux, maybe collaboration with postmarketOS
T2: Find files
su
updatedb
locate filename
T2: Install Git from source
su
cd /usr/src/t2-src
./t2 up
./t2 inst git
Others: nano, etc
Finding what other software can be built and installed:
./t2 find something
T2 compared to others
Linus Torvalds:
- They are often removing drivers and architectures from Linux kernel
- They often break many Linux kernel architectures by doing "cleanups"
Ubuntu:
- Ubuntu dropped support for all existing RISC-V hardware:
- https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2025/06/ubuntu-riscv-rva23-support
- https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44431828
Windows:
- Windows is deleting drivers:
macOS:
- I have not yet found working external touch screen drivers for macOS 26 beta. My external touch screen only works at Linux, Win11 and Android. Win11 and macOS has so limited amount of hardware support.
Android:
- Following Google's pulling back of the Android source tree, alternative Android operating systems are either changing tact, shutting down, and undergoing a reformation

T2 Music album
This paid T2 Music album is much higher quality of music lyrics, sound etc than free music at Suno.com . Preview of that album music is here:
I did buy that album from Bandcamp, where I downloaded album in very many audio formats. Currently I'm listening FLAC high quality version at VLC playlist while coding at Kubuntu. This is very cool very high quality music !

Favorite Songs at Suno.com:
- Remastered: We’re Never Getting Fixed Together
- License to Hack:
- Ghost in the Wire:
- I’ve seen their drones and digital spies, But I move through shadows, unseen in their eyes.
- I’ll bring down the AI, watch them collide.
- I see through the firmware, their digital lie, I’ll bring the AI down from the sky.
- They control the code, they control our fate, Skynet overlords at every gate. Breaking the Matrix, tearing down the veil, I’ll set us free from this AI jail.
- From the circuits to the skies, I’ll burn their kingdom of endless lies.
- I used to patch their broken code, Now I’m the bug they can’t decode.
- I’m the ghost in the wire, slipping through, T2 Linux, my weapon of truth.
- I see their towers of data and steel, But I’ve got the hack, I’ve got the zeal. I’m the virus they can’t contain, The ghost in the wire, breaking their chains.
- Future Past:
- From the retro boards to the latest cores, We’re rewriting what came before.
- From RISC-5 to PowerPC, We run it all so effortlessly. The past and future, side by side, In this machine, we glide, we ride.
- I found a world, a perfect place, Where every chip can find its space.
- Free the BLOBs:
- No more obsolete, no planned demise, He’s breaking the system, tearing through lies. Free the firmware, open the gates, With T2 Linux, no one waits.
- They build it to fail, to fade away, Force an upgrade, make you pay. But he’s not buying into their scheme, He’s reverse engineering, chasing the dream.
- My OS's OS:
- Unix Wars:
- Custom Distro:
- A world reborn

Or if you have paid for Lunduke Locals, use Firefox AddOn Video DownloadHelper to download video with lyrics from https://lunduke.locals.com/post/6091197/sundaysounds-t2-sde-linux-v20-https-github-com-rxrbln-t2sde-issues-180 . Downloading does not yet work if using FireJail sandboxing like at https://github.com/howinfo/howinfo/wiki/Firefox , so downloading works only without FireJail sandbox, I try sometime to figure out correct FireJail settings for Video DownloadHelper.
