The Window Maker Live DVD is an installable Linux live ISO, and is based mostly on the recently released “Bookworm” branch of Debian. It relies on the Window Maker window manager as its default graphical user interface. It can also be considered as an alternative installation medium for Debian/Bookworm. As such, wmlive is fully compatible with and relies on the official Debian/Bookworm repositories for security updates and bug fixes.

ISO images of "Window Maker Live" and its source code are provided "as is" without any promise for fitness for a particular purpose. There is no warranty or support provided whatsoever. If it breaks anything you are entitled to keep the broken pieces and fix them yourself.

  • 歴史あるディストーション。Window Makerを実用的にするための工夫がされているため好印象。私はNeXTBIANという、似たようなものを作っています。

    Thank you, tagukou! NeXTBIAN is a very interesting project! Unfortunately, neither https://notabug.org/NeXTBIAN nor https://sourceforge.net/projects/nextbian/ can be reached anymore. EDIT: Found a copy of the NeXTBIAN git files via the webarchive and created a variant building the DVD with bookworm instead of ancient bullseye. A diff file is available at rumbero.org/NeXTBIAN
  • After spending weeks implementing WML on various platforms, I still find no way to produce a PERSISTENCE USB. While installing I am stuck on Xorg or GNU registration? Requesting help from developer aeonflvx@gmail.com
  • WTF IS THE DEFAULT USERNAME AND PASSWORD IT ISN'T IN ANY OF THE DOCUMENTATION ON THE INTERNET. WHY WOULD ANYONE MAKE A DISTRO THAT IMAGES THE ISO IMAGE TO YOUR HARD DRIVE WITHOUT GIVING YOU THE OPPORTUNITY TO CHANGE THE USERNAME AND PASSWORD!!!

    Installing wmlive to disk using the included debian installer routine definitely asks for the creation of a user account and password. Try it.
  • Amazing work !!! My ultra light laptop Dell Latitude D430, with a new SSD and this beautiful WindowMaker/Debian... A dream !!! Many Thanks !!! I Love WindowMaker and Debian for years. Now I will install it in a virtuabox VM... 64bits this time...
