EXTON OpSuS Tumbleweed KDE/GNOME (two versions) 64bit Linux Live System with Refracta Snapshot :: Build 251122 and 251115 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 READ MORE: https://get.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/ NOTE ABOUT EXTON OpSuS Deepin from 240807 The Deepin DE is no longer maintained by openSUSE "due to packaging policy violations and various security issues" See: https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Deepin/Installation I have therefore deleted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 - KDE Plasma 6.5.2 version 251122 EXTON OpSuS Tumbleweed with KDE Plasma 6.5.2 Desktop Environment uses kernel 6.17.4-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). For that you shall use Refracta Installer. All packages have been updated to the latest available version as of November 22, 2025: https://opsus.exton.se/kde-251120/exton-opsus-kde-installed-packages-251122.txt NOTE1: Version 251122 of EXTON OpSuS can run on really old computers. As an example I could run it on my 19 years old laptop Acer Aspire 5102 WLMi. NOTE2: When the boot process is ready you will end up at LightDM's login screen. You can log in to the KDE Plasma Desktop 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-251120/exton-opsus-kde-user-desktop-251120.jpg 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. NOTE4: Kernel 6.17.4-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 6.17.8. NOTE5: To be able to use Refracta Snapshot you'll have to keep "my" kernel 6.17.4-amd64-exton in /boot and also the links to said kernel in /. (/vmlinuz and /initrd.img). NOTE6: The KDE version 251121 works very well in VirtualBox and VMware. Version 251120 did not work so well in VirtualBox. That is the main reason for the new Build of 251122. NOTE7: The KDE version works very well on all "normal" computers. I could run the system on my six different computers. If you have at least 6GB RAM (maybe just 4GB) you can choose boot alternative 2 - "Load to RAM". (The best way to run any Linux system). See https://opsus.exton.se/kde-251120/exton-opsus-kde-bootscreen-live-251120.jpg NOTE8: EXTON OpSuS is a LIVE system, which means that you can try it before you install it. The official openSUSE distribution must be installed immediately. NOTE9: When logging in to the KDE Desktop you can choose between the X11 server and Wayland. "Wayland is the modern, more secure, and efficient replacement for the older X11 display server". ######################################################### ABOUT EXTON OpSuS for PC's - GNOME 49 version 251115 I've made a new version of EXTON OpSuS with GNOME 49 as the only DE. The ISO is therefore rather small (2640MB), which means that you can run the system from RAM really fast even if you have for example only 8GB 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/gnome-251115/exton-opsus-gnome-installed-packages-251115.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 6.17.4-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 6.17.7. NOTE2: When the boot process is ready you will end up at GDM's login screen. You can log in to the GNOME 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 6.17.4-amd64-exton in /boot and also the links to said kernel in /. (/vmlinuz and /initrd.img). NOTE5: Version 251115 of EXTON OpSuS can run on really old computers. As an example I could run it on my 19 years old laptop Acer Aspire 5102 WLMi. NOTE6: EXTON OpSuS is a LIVE system, which means that you can try it before you install it. The official openSUSE distribution must be installed immediately. ############################################################# 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 in VirtualBox: https://opsus.exton.se/gnome-251115/exton-opsus-gnome-refractainstaller-grub-vbox-251115.jpg NOTE: In Build 251122/251115 I was not able to make Calamares Installer work. I had to replace Calamares with Refracta Installer.
