Arne Exton has announced the availability of a new "OpSuS" edition of Exton Linux. Based on openSUSE Tumbleweed, it uses the lightweight LXQt desktop environment, which means that it can be run smoothly even on fairly old computers: "I've made a new version of EXTON OpSuS with LXQt 2.2.0 as the only desktop environment. The ISO image is therefore rather small (1,850MB), which means that you can run the system from RAM really fast even if you have only 4GB RAM. This new EXTON OpSuS build is made from 'scratch', following the 'openSUSE:Expert Installation' Wiki. Linux kernel 6.14.6 is used when running EXTON OpSuS live. When running the system from hard drive you can use openSUSE's original kernel, right now it is version 6.15.2. When the boot process is ready, you will end up at LightDM's login screen. You can log in to the LXQt desktop as user with password 'live' or as root with password 'root'. Version 250621 of EXTON OpSuS can run on really old computers. As an example I could run it on my 17-year old Acer Aspire 5102 WLMi laptop." Read the release announcement for further information. This variant of Exton Linux is available for download from SourceForge: exton-opsus-64bit-lxqt-refractasnapshot-1850mb-250621.iso (1,904MB, MD5, pkglist). |

Distribution Release: Exton Linux 250707 "DebEX" |
 |
Arne Exton has announced the release of a new "DebEX" edition of Exton Linux, based on the upcoming release of Debian 13. It uses the KDE Plasma 6.3.5 desktop and comes with the Calamares system installer: "I have made a new extra version of DebEX KDE Plasma live system, efi. It's a pure Debian Sid/Trixie (upcoming Debian 13) system. There are no Ubuntu or Kubuntu elements involved in DebEX. DebEX KDE Plasma Sid uses the KDE Plasma Desktop 6.3.5, the latest version, released 2025-05-06, as the desktop environment. Linux kernel 6.15.3 is used. All included packages have been updated to the latest version as of 2025-07-07. VirtualBox Guest Additions and VMware Tools are pre-installed, which means that you can run DebEX KDE in full screen. I've installed the full KDE Plasma desktop using the command 'sudo apt install task-kde-desktop'. In order to save space I have removed LibreOffice. I have added Calamares 3.3.14 installer framework. Now you can choose language when the installation starts. You can even use Calamares in VirtualBox and VMware on non-efi computers without problems. You can also use the Refracta installer." Here is the full release announcement. Download: debex-64bit-trixie-plasma-refractasnapshot-calamares-3420mb-250707.iso (3,506MB, MD5, pkglist). |
