EXTON OpSuS Tumbleweed LXQt/KDE (two versions) 64bit Linux Live System with Refracta Snapshot :: Build 250621 and 250523 EXTON OpSuS Tumbleweed is based on openSUSE Tumbleweed, which is a rolling distribution. I.e. no need for new installations. Just run the command "sudo zypper dup" and you will always get the latest packages/kernels. ABOUT Tumbleweed "With Tumbleweed you don't have to take difficult decisions about things you value, either freedom or safety, either control or security, technology or stability -- Tumbleweed lets you have your cake and eat it too". READ MORE: https://get.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/ NOTE ABOUT EXTON OpSuS Deepin from 240807 The Deepin DE is no longer maintained by openSUSE "due to packaging policy violations and various security issues" See: https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Deepin/Installation I have therefore deleted the ISO file from 240807 which used Deepin 20.6 as Desktop Environment. ################################################################################### ABOUT EXTON OpSuS for PC's - LXQt version 250621 I've made a new version of EXTON OpSuS with LXQt 2.2.0-1.1 as the only DE. The ISO is therefore rather small (1850MB), which means that you can run the system from RAM really fast even if you have for example only 4GB RAM. This new EXTON OpSuS build is made from "scratch" following the Wiki "openSUSE:Expert Installation": https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Expert_Installation. If you want to do the same you can study my packages LIST: https://opsus.exton.se/lxqt-250621/exton-opsus-lxqt-installed-packages-250621.txt Be sure to install all necessary kernel-firmware for example kernel-firmware-nvidia. If you "forget" to do that and try to run the system on a computer with an Nvidia graphics card it won't work. To be on the safe side you might want to run the command: "sudo zypper in kernel-firmware*". NOTE1: Kernel 6.14.6-amd64-exton is used when running EXTON OpSuS LIVE. When running the System from hard drive you can use openSUSE's original kernel. Right now version 6.15.2. NOTE2: When the boot process is ready you will end up at LightDM's login screen. You can log in to the LXQt Desktop as user with password live or as root with password root. NOTE3: Use Refracta Snapshot to build your very own version of EXTON OpSuS/openSUSE. I.e. you can change everything and quickly create a new ISO file. Your own. The new is ISO found in /home/snapshot. NOTE4: You be able to use Refracta Snapshot you'll have to keep "my" kernel 6.14.6-amd64-exton in /boot and also the links to said kernel in /. (/vmlinuz and /initrd.img). NOTE5: Version 250621 of EXTON OpSuS can run on really old computers. As an example I could run it on my 17 years old laptop Acer Aspire 5102 WLMi. ################################################################################### ABOUT EXTON OpSuS for PC's - KDE/LXQt version 250523 EXTON OpSuS Tumbleweed with KDE Plasma and LXQt 2.2.0-1.1 Desktop Environments uses kernel 6.14.6-amd64-exton. Installed programs: Among many other programs, Firefox, NetworkManager, GParted, Refracta Snapshot and Refracta Installer. EXTON OpSuS can easily be installed to hard drive (of those who so desire).

As an example I could run it on my 17 years old laptop Acer Aspire 5102 WLMi. NOTE2: When the boot process is ready you will end up at SDDM login screen. You can log in to the KDE/LXQt Desktops as user with password live or as root with password root. You will see this first screen when logged in to KDE Plasma as user: https://opsus.exton.se/kde-250523/exton-opsus-kde-user-desktop-250523.jpg NOTE3: Use Refracta Snapshot to build your very own version of EXTON OpSuS/openSUSE.

Watch this screenshot of the Grub menu (in VirtualBox): https://opsus.exton.se/lxqt-250515/exton-opsus-lxqt-boot-from-hd-250515.jpg NOTE5: You be able to use Refracta Snapshot you'll have to keep "my" kernel 6.14.6-amd64-exton in /boot and also the links to said kernel in /. (/vmlinuz and /initrd.img). ################################################################################### The system language is English in both versions. INSTALLATION of EXTON OpSuS from a USB stick (or DVD) to HARD DRIVE Use Refracta Installer. Watch a screenshot when Refracta Installer is running: https://opsus.exton.se/kde-250523/exton-opsus-kde-lxqt-root-desktop-250523.jpg NOTE: In Build 250621/250523 I was not able to make Calamares Installer work. I had to replace Calamares with Refracta Installer. IS EXTON OpSuS KDE/LXQt BUILD 250621/250523 UNIQUE? If you have a look at openSUSE's official Download site you can see that there is no live LXQt version available: https://software.opensuse.org/distributions/tumbleweed EXTON OpSuS Build 250621/250523 is most certainly UNIQUE in one respect. There is no other distro based on openSUSE containing Refracta Snapshot!
