Welcome to the Plasma 3.15+ Club! I can't wait for buster to freeze this January so I can have a stable version of it.

You mean Plasma 5.13+

Yes it is pretty darn stable on Sid so far.

^ Downloading, thanks looks good.

Will you be uploading the Devuan dwmx version?

mrneilypops · 2018-10-29 12:00:08

@S7.L
Not yet... but I am aware of the interest in a Devuan version.
On my list...

I've been playing around with manjaro-architect to produce a minimal openbox install ... it pretty much created a copy of archlabs with a manjaro wallpaper.

^ Nice. Over 20 years with a Linux desktop. Darth Vader... Impressive, most impressive.

Thanks for trying BL!

Giving Arch a go now, tempted to go ArchLabs as I have gotten very used to open desktop.

I have no need for overcomplicated menus, using mouse slows me down.

bigbenaugust · 2019-01-17 13:55:54

I just realized last night that if all I want is desktop-flavored Debian Stable (maybe with a backports kernel) and something that ran awesome (my WM of choice) well, that I should probably just stop fussing with Ubuntu and come back to BL.

^looking good. Will take it for a spin

mrneilypops · 2019-01-18 12:18:32

@malm
Thanks...look forward to your thoughts.

unklar · 2019-01-18 12:38:36

I'm thrilled.

@mrneilypops,
Thank you very much for your excellent work.
I'm looking for something "light", but I was afraid to install it on HDD right away. Especially because I don't know the refracta-installer yet.
(but I already found something in the net).

So here is my result as Live-dwmX in QEMU.
The handling is still very unusual for me, because I am not familiar with dmenu and jgmenu.

You offer next to Default, Italy. So am I correctly assuming that I can only install the German language packages with ceni after the installation and setup of the network?

Thank you!

mrneilypops · 2019-01-18 13:37:55

@unklar
I am pleased you are happy.
dwm does take some getting used to that is one reason I have included jgmenu in addition to dmenu.
Don't forget the ratfactor guide;

de_DE locale is available at install;

very wise decision. That helps me a lot.
Therefore, thanks also to @malm . That looks good and the font is also good to read (for my old eyes).

dpkg-reconfigure locales I found
I need another tip from you on the German keyboard layout. Can I also choose this during the installation ?

Thanks

mrneilypops · 2019-01-18 17:10:30

@unklar

I would recommend a test install in VirtualBox, for example, in order to check out the settings.

unklar · 2019-01-19 17:25:47

Yeah, that's what I wanted to see, and that's what I saw.
Now it's time to practise.

unklar · 2019-01-19 21:06:14

...Hm, he doesn't do the localization.
