Window Maker Live

Not sure what 'pacman' refers to? But whatever you intend to do, just do it. The sources for wmlive are readily available for any user's own endeavours.

To be honest, new Linux users would probably be better served with something like MXLinux or maybe even Ubuntu. With wmlive you will have a much steeper learning curve as there is no support documentation nor any wiki or mailing list whatsoever. Both MXLinux and Ubuntu are very much better in this regard.

Yes, either way should work as expected.

An updated wmlive-utils package has been made available and can now be upgraded via the usual apt procedures. Obviously, this won't magically alter the contents of the available ISO images. But you can always recreate the ISO image with more recent packages following the procedure outlined in /usr/local/src/README_wmlive-sources.txt if properly installed to disk.

The blame for this supposedly goes to systemd: [root]~ # dpkg -S /sbin/shutdown systemd-sysv: /sbin/shutdown The systemd based shutdown defaults to a so called soft-reboot instead of the expected behaviour and simply reloads the kernel, replacing it's running instance with a fresher/newer one. Rather annoying if just a reboot to a different OS was intended. See https://www.theregister.com/2023/08/02/systemd_254/ for a nice take on this "enhancement". Assuming you use 'Session Menu > Shutdown > Reboot',...

"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder": I guess the same applies to perceived snarkyness on the recipient's side. The mere fact someone bothers to invest his precious time to write up and submit an error description obviously allows for the assumption that a helpful return is expected. Unfortunately, the story provided by an "anecdotal, but replicable WiFi issue" is not replicable at all if no...

Hi Daniel, no income whatsoever is generated by this project and donations so far amount to just zero. Unpaid time is limited and therefore none can be invested into any user support, sorry for that. WindowMaker Live is indeed (almost) just good old Debian with some configuration, scripting, and custom packages added on top. But if it breaks you have to just keep the pieces and fix it yourself. Given your rather anecdotical narrative without sufficient technical details it appears as if you didn't...
