NEWS ABOUT SlackEX BUILD 230521 with the Xfce4 DESKTOP ENVIRONMENT (DE)![]()
A new version of SlackEX is ready. It is based on Slackware 15.0 STABLE released 220202 with Xfce4 as DE. The most important package installed is Refracta Snapshot. With that you can build your own Slackware 15.0 distribution. Xfce4 is one of Slackware’s official Desktop environments. The other one is KDE. Kernel 6.3.1-amd64-exton is used in this SlackEX Build. To be able to use Refracta Snapshot you’ll have to use said kernel. Otherwise you can (of course) replace “my” kernel with Slackware’s original kernel.

ExTiX Mini Build 230510 with LXQt and kernel 6.3.1-amd64-exton :: Run it super fast from RAM and/or create your own Linux system using Refracta Snapshot!![]()

NEWS 230510 ABOUT ExTiX LXQt Mini 23.5, Build 230510![]()
I’ve made a new updated “mini” version of ExTiX – The Ultimate Linux System. It is based on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS Jammy Jellyfish. The ISO file is of only 1550 MB, which is good if you want to run the system super fast from RAM. It should be enough with 2GB RAM. When the boot process is ready you can eject the DVD or USB stick. Use Boot alternative 2. The best thing with ExTiX 23.5 is that while running the system live (from DVD/USB) or from hard drive you can use Refracta Snapshot (pre-installed) to create your own live installable Ubuntu 22.04 system. So easy that a ten year child can do it! ExTiX 23.5 uses kernel 6.3.1-amd64-exton. Ubuntu 22.04 LTS will be supported until April 2027. That’s why ExTiX 23.5 isn’t based on Ubuntu 23.04.![]()

MORE ABOUT ExTiX 23.5![]()
This ExTiX version uses LXQt as Desktop environment. "LXQt is the Qt port and the upcoming version of LXDE, the Lightweight Desktop Environment. It is the product of the merge between the LXDE-Qt and the Razor-qt projects: A lightweight, modular, blazing-fast and user-friendly desktop environment". NOTE: This ExTiX LXQt Build is for older UEFI-enabled computers and VirtualBox/VMware. When running ExTiX 23.5 in VirtualBox you can do it in full screen since VirtualBox Guest Additions are pre-installed. ![]()
