Devuan's 5-year keyring expired on September 3. This will cause your system to be unable to perform updates.
Therefore, this also affects MiyoLinux users.

To fix the issue, open a terminal, and enter the following commands...

wget http://deb.devuan.org/devuan/pool/main/d/devuan-keyring/devuan-keyring_2022.09.04_all.deb

Next, you can optionally check the integrity of the download with...... read more

The Miyo-XTRA builds are available for downloading again. :)

August 19, 2017

I am temporarily removing the Miyo-XTRA download in order to rebuild it. I hope to h ave it available again by August 26, 2017.

I need to address an issue that escaped me during my testing. My apologies.

If you'd prefer a more graphical desktop, you can easily add LXDE to MiyoLinux. Be aware that doing so will add about +/- 40 Mbs of RAM used at boot (please note that the RAM usage in the picture includes an open web browser which is minimized to the task bar). If you'd like to do this, simply open your terminal and enter the following command (to keep it minimal)...

sudo apt-get install lxde --no-install-recommends... read more

After discovering that there were two problems with the previous 64bit build, it has been rebuilt. It's now available and can be downloaded. The new build has fixed the following discrepancies...

1. Fixed - The Update icon now shows in the System Tray (and desktop notifications). This allows users to click the icon in the system tray in order to install updates.
2. Fixed - Nitrogen (Wallpaper Changer) now has the default "Zoomed Fill" setting in order to fit the wallpaper onto all monitors. This is the default setting and can be changed to your preference.

Edited to add: A new 64bit version is now available that has the following problem fixed. It's available to download now. I apologize for any inconvenience.

MiyoLinux comes with an update notifier that allows users to click its icon in the system tray in order to install updates. Somehow, I neglected to change the icon in the file path in the latest 64bit version of MiyoLinux (miyolinux-64bit-120316.iso). It still gives a desktop notification (without the icon), but it doesn't show in the system tray since its icon is missing. I sincerely apologize and am embarrassed about this.... read more

The new .isos have been uploaded and are now available for download.

Thanks for trying MiyoLinux!

After discovering that users outside of the United States may be having trouble configuring their keyboard (for which I apologize), new 32bit and 64bit .isos will be uploaded very soon. The 32bit is ready, and the 64bit is being tested. I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience the current .isos may have caused people...my deepest apologies! If the 64bit tests well, I hope to have both .isos uploaded within the next couple of days. So far, it has tested well. :) Look for new .isos on 12/04/16 or 12/05/16. ... read more

I've created a small User Survey for people to give much-needed feedback in order to help with the future development of MiyoLinux. The target audience is for people located outside of the United States of America. My concern is that people outside of the US may be unable to configure their system and keyboard in their native language.

So...if you're from a country other than the US, and you've installed MiyoLinux, I would GREATLY appreciate your feedback! If you could take just a few moments to take the survey, it would not only help me...but it will help with future users and the future development of MiyoLinux. The survey consists of only six questions, and it can be finished in less than one minute. :)... read more

A new MiyoLinux Gray window/menu theme has been made. After some consideration, it was realized that the contrast of the Headings/Separator colors in the existing MiyoLinux Gray menu may be a bit too harsh in relation to the background color of the menu. Therefore, a new MiyoLinux Gray theme has been created with more subtle colors and less contrast. It's called MiyoLinux Gray2 and can be downloaded from the Themes folder if anyone is interested. :)... read more

There are three new MiyoLinux wallpapers available if anyone is interested. Though hard to see in the screenshots, they have a dark gray cloth-textured background with the MiyoLinux icon set in three different places depending upon which wallpaper you use. Here's a link to a larger image of the centered wallpaper so that you can see more detail...

The Devuan Security Repository is down right now (November 5, 2016) and has been for about 14 hours. This is causing update failures and package installation failures. Devuan is very aware of the situation, and they are working to correct it. Please be patient as they work to correct the situation.

We're sorry for the inconvenience this may cause people.

The 64bit version of MiyoLinux is now available for download.

Thanks for trying MiyoLinux. :)

We've made a new window theme called MiyoLinux Mix. It's a combination of the MiyoLinux Gray Window Border and the MiyoLinux Dark menu...sometimes you just want a dark menu! It's included in the 64bit version by default; however, if you would like to have it in the 32bit version, it's available to download in "Files".

You can download it, open your file manager as root, and use Xarchiver to place it in...... read more
