@dolphin_oracle @Eadwine Rose @anticapitalista

Re: Thank you for MX snapshot!

Adrian - Yes, it is confusing.
I started a remaster of MEPIS 3.4.3 (2006 IIRC) called Flepis that shipped with fluxbox and someone helped me with it with a set of commands to remaster manually. It might have been you, I really can't remember. I wasn't too keen on MEPIS 6 and 6.5 (Ubuntu based) so ...

Re: Thank you for MX snapshot!

OK Adrian I agree with you about the parlance. MX-snapshot was an independent tool developed by MX not related to Refracta and yes you did have a prototype back in 2008. :)

antiX did, however, use the Refracta snapshot tool (adapted) in version 11 or 12 (in 2011/2012) to create a 'snapshot' of an ...

Re: Distros you tried but didn't like

I've never really liked Linux Mint.
It has always seemed 'heavy' and clunky on my hardware.
It also seems 'too polished' if you know what I mean.

Re: Xorg has been Forked! [Solved]



That's a good point, but there's no reason for those desktop/window managers not to add Wayland support, Xfce has experimental support for Wayland.


yeah but they do it by scraping their xfwm4 window manager.

for me, I'll worry about when I have to, and not before.


Very sensible.
For ...

Re: Xorg has been Forked! [Solved]


I will probably drop Xorg and go Wayland completely in the KDE release, maybe not the next one, but the one after for sure. @Artim, if you have a problem with that, look for another distro.

I have no interest in incorporating a 40-year old technology that has lots of problems, not to mention the ...

Re: Xorg has been Forked! [Solved]

That Devuan image is just some random post/rant posted on X.
There is no official mention of anything on their website or forum and no packages built or being built (unlike OpenMandriva and Artix).
