Re: Distro-hoppers anonymous

Been watching the progress of DXT2 over ~6 months or so.

Very light system to build on.

Debian Xfce4 tint2 jgmenu Theme: Aurora Nuevo Blue Icons: Tela WM: Material-Black-Frost

8bit

edit:
I installed it. The installer is much improved over what he used to use. I don't know the name of the installer, but I've seen it before.
Extras icon on the desktop:

But still rough edges like the installer icon on the installed desktop. And the GTK apps don't honor the theme.

Looks nice much like BL but with XFCE WM rather than Openbox. Think the theming issues can be easily fixed however.

Don't run with scissors. Turn off lights when not in use. Don't sleep with your co-worker's wife. Remember to take the cans out on trash day. Check the oil and water in your car. Update your computer. Check your tire pressure. Turn off your computer and go outside. Take your pet to the vet for shots. Pee before you go on a long car ride.  Take your list to the grocery store. Drink more water. Please use CODE tags for code. :)

What exactly is the problem?
You say "GTK apps don't honour the theme"? Which theme? Is it a GTK theme? Which apps? Are they GTK2 or GTK3? Does the theme contain both GTK2 and GTK3 themes?

Re: Distro-hoppers anonymous

I have resurrected my Gentoo installation from a couple of months ago. I got Firefox working on it, and I even managed to upgrade the Linux kernel. It's now on 5.4.97 - woo hoo! 5,10 is both stable and LTS, but Gentoo hasn't gone to it, yet. I know you can go to "vanilla" kernel, but they recommend against it.

Why would you if your hardware doesn't require it? Honest question. Esp. since the 5.4 LTS series is still alive.

Archlinux' LTS kernel is also "still" 5.4.97.

I used and liked Siduction for a year or two a few years back. They were a great group of people, too.

Good to hear there's a new siduction release. I was a user of siduction in the past as well as it's ancestors sidux and aptosid. The IRC channel may be quiet but if you need help that's a useful place as well as the siduction forums.

Former aptosid user here. Whether you upgrade manually from Debian stable to sid,  use a Siduction ISO or get a sid setup in some other way, the Siduction forum is an incredible resource for any sid user.

Back in the Statler days of CrunchBang there was an Xfce version, I still miss it.
This may work out to be a base for a substitute.
