DEBEX GNOME LIVE SYSTEM WITH GNOME DE 46, REFRACTA SNAPSHOT, CALAMARES AND KERNEL 6.9.0-RC5-AMD64-EXTON :: BUILD 240426ABOUT DebEX Gnome BUILD 240426I have made a new extra version of DebEX, which I call DebEX Gnome Live System. It’s a pure Debian system using the testing (Trixie) and unstable (Sid) repositories. Gnome 46 is used as Desktop Environment. I have removed the Mate Desktop, since Gnome now can be used on all kind of computers. Also when running DebEX Gnome in VirtualBox and VMware. No need for Nvidia’s proprietary graphics drivers when running this new version of DebEX. You can of course install such drivers if you want to. Furthermore I have replaced Google Chrome with Firefox ESR. It is now possible to watch Netflix movies using Firefox ESR in Linux. I have also replaced Refracta Installer with Calamares Installer, which makes it possible to install DebEX Gnome in any language. You can even use Calamares in VirtualBox and VMware – i.e. non-efi computers. All installed packages have been updated to the latest versions as of 240426.KERNELDebEX Gnome uses kernel 6.9.0-rc5-amd64-exton.NOTE1: Refracta Installer is not really “replaced” by Calamares. You should use Refracta Installer in VirtualBox/VMware. If you do you don’t have to chroot to be able to install Grub.NOTE2: VirtualBox Guest Additions are pre-installed, which means that you can run DebEX Gnome in full screen in VirtualBox.

DEBEX BAREBONE 32 BIT – BUILD 240423 – BASED ON DEBIAN SID/TRIXIE (UPCOMING DEBIAN 13) WITH LXQT 1.4 AND REFRACTA SNAPSHOTNEWS 240423 ABOUT DebEX LXQt 32 bit BUILD 240423I’ve made a new DebEX system for older computers. It uses LXQt 1.4 as Desktop environment. "LXQt is a lightweight Qt desktop environment. It will not get in your way. It will not hang or slow down your system. It is focused on being a classic desktop with a modern look and feel". Only a minimum of packages are installed. The ISO file is of only 1610 MB! Refracta Snapshot is pre-installed also in this version of DebEX, which means that you can make your own Debian 32 bit (Intel x86 32-bit architecture) live installable system in a very simple way. I mean change everything to your liking and then create a new ISO.WHAT is it for?This version of DebEX is mainly made for older computers. I could run and install DebEX LXQt without problems on my oldest computer. An Acer Aspire 5102WLMi from the year 2006. So now you too can bring back life to your (very) old computer!Study all installed packages in Build 240423: debex.exton.se/debex-32bit/debex-barebone-lxqt-installed-packages-240423.txtNOTESNOTE1: This version of DebEX is based on Debian sid/trixie. Trixie (Debian 13) will replace Bookworm (Debian 12).NOTE2: VirtualBox Guest Additions are pre-installed, which means that you can run DebEX LXQt in full screen in VirtualBox. NOTE3: You can’t watch Netflix in this version of DebEX: That’s because Google no longer support Widevine on 32 bit systems.NOTE4: I’ve arranged so that you can run DebEX LXQt also on UEFI computers. I.e. you can boot the System both in UEFI and Legacy mode.SCREENSHOTS1. Running in full screen in VirtualBox: debex.exton.se/debex-32bit/debex-32bit-install-vbox-240423.jpg2.
