I’ve released a new version of ExTiX Deepin today (230403). This ExTiX Build is based on Deepin 23 Alpha 2 (latest version) released by Deepin Technology 230208. Please read the Release Notes… As you can see the developers urge people to try Deepin Alpha 2 in a non-production environment! I must say, though, that I haven’t discovered any “bugs”. And the installed programs won’t “crash” or anything like that. On the contrary ExTiX Deepin 23.4 with the Deepin DE 23 works pretty well I would say. I have nevertheless kept ExTiX 22.12 with Deepin 20.8 on the server. Deepin 20.8 is the stable version released 221208. ExTiX 23.4 uses kernel 6.3.0-rc4-amd64-exton. ExTiX 23.4 works in the same way as all other ExTiX versions. I.e. you can install it to hard drive while running the system live. Use Refracta Installer for that. You can also create your own live installable Deepin 23 system with Refracta Snapshot. (Using ExTiX 23.4 as a “base system”). So easy that a ten year old child can do it!

Linux Lite 6.4 Final is now available for download and installation. Building upon the release of 6.2, we have added a number if new changes. Changes: Our in-house applications are starting to be repackaged using ZSTD compression for significantly faster decompression speeds and higher compression rates. Example: Lite Themes - old compressed package: 91.2MB; Lite Themes - new compressed package: 76.8MB. This will benefit machines from a wider range of ages. Great for slower computers when installing updates, lightning fast updates for modern machines. Added systemd report to Lite System Report: This addition will help a wide range of people in regards to diagnosing a variety of booting and general system inquiries. Our amazing support team on the forums will also find this very helpful.
There are known issues with the Firefox, Chromium-bin, Midori and Epiphany web browser packages and mports that need to be corrected. (detected late, sorry). Issues were created on github in mports repo to track these. (mesa issue, see below) i386 and amd64 packages are available, but there was an issue with our mesa version. It has been updated in mports but new packages haven't been built yet. When upgrading from a previous release, be sure to get on at least MidnightBSD 2.2.5 before jumping to 3.0. There are issues with usr.bin/lex on some systems. When doing a major upgrade from 2.x to 3.x, sometimes it's necessary to disable Perl builds in usr.bin/Makefile. If you get an error with buildworld in src/rescue/rescue, try removing camcontrol and df from the makefile temporarily.
We are proud to announce the release of the Gnoppix 23.4 Release. The Version comes with lot of stability improvements (firmware) and includes the Gnoppix-installer. Thanks to Microsoft who sponsored the infrastructure to make it possible. We've also added Safe-browsing which blocks all kind of Adverts, even Youtube Video's are completely Ad-Free! We've delayed the Gnome 44 packages since stability and security is more our Focus this time. 1 Week time isnt enough for such a huge change. Please understand.

Today marks the release of Finnix 125, the original utility live Linux distribution. Finnix 125 includes a number of fixes, new packages and new features: Linux kernel 6.1 (Debian [package] 6.1.0-6). New packages: 2048, aespipe, iperf3, ncdu, netcat-traditional, ninvaders, vitetris. Note that netcat-openbsd continues to be included and is the default nc. apt update will now download both 'testing' and 'unstable' indices, to allow for installing packages which may currently be hinted out of Testing. Apt pinning is configured so Testing will continue to be preferred to Unstable, however. Updated to memtest86+ 6.10, which now includes a UEFI version which is included in the 'Utilities' boot sub-menu when booting on a UEFI system. Note that this is not signed and will not work with Secure Boot. 7z will invoke the installed 7zr program, unless the user explicitly installs 'p7zip-full'.
