ArchEX BUILD 241128 with LXQt 2.1, Calamares Installer 3.3.12 and kernel 6.12.1-arch-1

I’ve made a new extra version of ArchEX with the LXQt 2.1 Desktop Environment. LXQt 2.1 was released 241105. LXQt is a lightweight Qt desktop environment. It will not get in your way. It will not hang or slow down your system. It is focused on being a classic desktop with a modern look and feel. I’ve also managed to install Calamares Installer from source in ArchEX LXQt. It means that you can install ArchEX LXQt in any language. Everything will then be in your chosen language when the installation has completed.

Study all installed packages in ArchEX LXQt…

SCREENSHOTS
1. The LXQt Desktop for the ordinary user user
2. Calamares Installer is running
3. Running in full screen in VirtualBox (VirtualBox Guest Additions are pre-installed)
4. Showing a Samba connection
5. The SLiM Login Screen

RaspArch Build 240302 for Raspberry Pi 5 and Raspberry Pi 4
RaspArch is a “ready-to-go” ARM (aarch64/arm64) system. It can only run on a Raspberry Pi 5 or Raspberry Pi 4 computer.  All included packages have been updated to the latest version as of 240302. The Desktop Environment is LXQt 1.4.

A member on RaspEX wrote this about an old version of RaspArch: I’ve used Slackware, Debian, Gentoo, Ubuntu & Arch. I prefer Arch. Ubuntu is easier to install, Arch is easier to keep up to date. You do not go through big, painful, changes every year instead you just update, once in a while, make changes if instructed. Arch has most of the benefits of Gentoo without the pain of recompiling _everything_. When you do need to build a package in Arch its painless especially if you use one of the tools that support AUR (I like Yaourt). Arch avoids the politics of Debian and Ubuntu and delivers a great Linux distribution. RaspArch now brings these advantages to the Pi 2.

ArchEX 2025 (Arch Linux) Live with KDE Plasma 6.2.3-1, kernel 6.12.1-arch-1 and Calamares Installer 3.3.12 :: Build 241124

ABOUT ArchEX 2025 Build 241124
I’ve made a new extra version of ArchEX with KDE Plasma 6.2.3-1 – latest version released 241105. Plasma is made to stay out of the way as it helps you get things done. But under its light and intuitive surface, it’s a powerhouse. So you’re free to choose ways of usage right as you need them and when you need them. This ArchEX version uses kernel 6.12.1-arch-1. ArchEX can very easy be installed to hard drive (if you want) with Calamares Installer version 3.3.12 (latest). Installed (by me) from source. Finally.

Replacement
This ArchEX version replaces version 240509 and 240106.

Study all installed packages in ArchEX 2025 with KDE Plasma 6.2.3-1.

How To dual boot, triple boot or multi boot Linux with Windows in a simple way and be happy
Before installing ArchEX or any other Linux system my general installation instructions may be of interest.

Rolling distribution

Arch Linux/ArchEX are rolling distributions, which implies that once you have installed the system on the hard drive there is no need for re-installations (which otherwise is common in the Linux world).

WHO should run Arch Linux?
My answer: The system fits the “advanced” Linux user/enthusiast, who would be willing to run an occasional command from time to time.

BENEFITS of ArchEX/Arch Linux
“Cutting Edge”-software and speed. You will for example always run the latest kernel if you upgrade ArchEX/Arch (for example) every month.

SCREENSHOTS

ArchEX running in VirtualBox with Guest Additions installed

ArchEX (Arch Linux) Live System with MATE 1.28.2-2 DE and kernel 6.11.7-arch :: Build 241117

ABOUT ArchEX Build 241117
I’ve made a new extra version of ArchEX with the MATE Desktop environment. This ArchEX version replaces version 240101, which had Pantheon as DE. At the moment (241117) Pantheon doesn’t work in Arch Linux. After a full system upgrade the Pantheon menu is gone and you can’t get it back.

ABOUT MATE: The MATE Desktop Environment is the continuation of GNOME 2. It provides an intuitive and attractive desktop environment using traditional metaphors for Linux and other Unix-like operating systems. MATE is under active development to add support for new technologies while preserving a traditional desktop experience.


IMPORTANT NOTE: ArchEX with MATE works very well when running live on my six computers.
Calamares Installer is not installed in Build 241117. You can nevertheless install ArchEX Build 241117 to hard drive if you follow my instructions…
It is quite simple. Basically only ONE command is needed.

Study all installed packages in Build 241117…

SCREENSHOTS

How to make a simple Frugal install (Puppy Linux like) of many major Linux distributions :: 241025

Recently I found a way to make a simple Frugal install (Puppy Linux like) of many major Linux distributions.  The method is called FirstRibIT. It was announced by wiak at the Puppy Linux Discussion Forum 240630.  At the moment the following Linux distributions are supported:
1 FirstRib anypup (default BookwormPup64_10.0.6.iso; rough shutdown) firstribed using FR wiak initrd
2 PopOS64
3 EndeavourOS
4 Manjaro
7 MakuluLinux-Shift-x64-Ubuntu
8 MX Linux X64
13 Zorin
14 NeonKDE
15 Garuda (warning: Cancel out of disk partitioning install)
16 Bodhi
17 MassOS
18 TinyCoreLinux64
20 Intel Clear Linux
21 Ubuntu_live
23 linux-lite
24 bunsen-lithium
25 LXLE-Focal
26 tails-amd64
27 Debian_live
28 Regata_OS
29 Kodachi
30 SysLinuxOS
31 4MLinux
33 Fedora
34 Xubuntu
35 Lubuntu
36 Mabox
37 Sparky
38 Spiral
44 Linux Mint
98 Generic Arch Linux based
99 Generic Debian/Ubuntu based

NOTE1: To be able to use FirstRibIT you’ll have to have one Linux system installed and use Grub as boot loader.

If you want to try out FirstRibIT you shall follow these steps:
1. Create a folder in the root of your Linux system (/). Name it for example KL-ZORIN.
2. Download a script called firstribit.sh with the command
wget -c https://gitlab.com/firstrib/firstrib/-/raw/master/latest/build_system/firstribit-latest.sh -O firstribit.sh && chmod +x firstribit.sh
3. Put the script firstribit.sh into the folder KL-ZORIN.
4. Download the ISO file Zorin-OS-17.2-Core-64-bit.iso
5. Put the ISO file into the folder KL-ZORIN.
6. Go into the folder KL-ZORIN (cd /KL-ZORIN).
7. Run the command./firstribit.sh optional_f_it_plugname
After a few minutes everything is ready. The only thing left to do is to configure Grub so that Zorin can start – see below.

Add the following lines to /boot/grub/grub.cfg or /etc/grub.d/40_custom (depending on how you have configured your Grub installation):
menuentry ‘MX Linux ::WORK:: (sda2-Samsung_T5)’ –class mxlinux –class gnu-linux –class gnu –class os $menuentry_id_option ‘osprober-gnulinux-simple-3ec7ea01-8e4f-491e-879f-335560d44205’ {
recordfail
load_video
insmod gzio
if [ x$grub_platform = xxen ]; then insmod xzio; insmod lzopio; fi
insmod part_gpt
insmod ext2
if [ x$feature_platform_search_hint = xy ]; then
search –no-floppy –fs-uuid –set=root 3ec7ea01-8e4f-491e-879f-335560d44205
else
search –no-floppy –fs-uuid –set=root 3ec7ea01-8e4f-491e-879f-335560d44205
fi
linux /boot/vmlinuz-6.4.0-1mx-ahs-amd64 root=UUID=3ec7ea01-8e4f-491e-879f-335560d44205 rw quiet acpi_backlight=vendor splash acpi_rev_override=1
initrd /boot/initrd.img-6.4.0-1mx-ahs-amd64
}

menuentry ‘KL-ZORIN (FRUGAL – sdb2 – SAMSUNG) 241025’ –class gnu-linux –class gnu –class os $menuentry_id_option ‘osprober-gnulinux-simple-3ec7ea01-8e4f-491e-879f-335560d44205’ {
recordfail
load_video
insmod gzio
if [ x$grub_platform = xxen ]; then insmod xzio; insmod lzopio; fi
insmod part_gpt
insmod ext2
if [ x$feature_platform_search_hint = xy ]; then
search –no-floppy –fs-uuid –set=root 3ec7ea01-8e4f-491e-879f-335560d44205
else
search –no-floppy –fs-uuid –set=root 3ec7ea01-8e4f-491e-879f-335560d44205
fi
linux /KL-ZORIN/vmlinuz w_bootfrom=UUID=3ec7ea01-8e4f-491e-879f-335560d44205=/KL-ZORIN w_changes=RAM2
initrd /KL-ZORIN/initrd.gz
}

NOTE2: MX Linux is my main Linux system where the frugal installation of Zorin is made. As you can see the UUID is the same for both systems. You shall of course change the UUID to suit your installation.

Now you can just reboot your computer and enjoy Zorin (or any other Linux system of the ones I’ve listed above). I myself have tested FirstRibIT also for Fedora and Manjaro. Works very well as expected.  The Grub lines (configuration) is the same for all Linux systems supported.

When running Zorin or any of the other Linux systems, which are supported, you can of course change the system to your liking and upgrade the whole system. To make your system changes permanent you shall run the command sudo save2flash before power off or rebooting your computer.

NOTE3: You may have to install Yad before running the command sudo save2flash.

SCREENSHOTS
1. Using save2flash
2. The Zorin Desktop (after some changes)
3. Upgrading the Zorin system

PuppEX (Puppy Linux) Noble64 – compatible with Ubuntu 24.04 – with Mate as DE :: Build 241007

NEWS ABOUT PuppEX Noble64 Mate 24.04 241007
This Puppy derivative is made by me. It is built from Ubuntu 24.04 (Noble Numbat) packages and packages built from woof-CE Recipes. I’ve also compiled a brand new kernel – 6.10.13-exton. This is special about this new PuppEX version:
1. I’ve replaced the original Puppy Linux Desktop with Mate (The MATE Desktop Environment is the continuation of GNOME 2. It provides an intuitive and attractive desktop environment using traditional metaphors for Linux and other Unix-like operating systems), which I find more useful.
2. I’ve added some essential packages. Among them Samba so you can connect to your Windows computers in your home Network. Study all installed packages…
The ISO size is therefore rather BIG (2030 MB), but PuppEX runs nevertheless as fast as the original Puppy, which means that it runs very very fast! Puppy Linux/PuppEX runs from RAM. You’ll need at least 4GB RAM to run this PuppEX version.
3. I’ve installed VirtualBox Guest Additions, which means that you can run this PuppEX version in full screen in VirtualBox. Watch this screenshot…
4. I’ve included devx_puppex-noble64.sfs in the ISO file. Load it if you need it.
NOTE: When the boot process is ready you will automatically be logged in as root to the Mate Desktop. The password for root is root (if you for some reason should need it). When logged in to the Mate DE you must wait a few seconds before the Desktop and the apps are fully loaded.

COMPATIBLE WITH Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
PuppEX Noble64 Mate is compatible with Ubuntu 24.04 (Noble Numbat), which means that Ubuntu packages for Ubuntu 24.04 can be installed and used in PuppEX. You can use the Synaptic Package Manager or the apt command. (apt update, apt upgrade, apt install MyUsefulPackage etc).
IMPORTANT NOTE: The normal remasterpup2 script (which is included in all Puppy Linux versions) doesn’t work in PuppEX Noble64. The remasterpup2 script works very well in PuppEX Bookworm64 though. It works very well in PuppEX Slack64 15.0 too.
NOTE: PuppEX Noble64 Mate uses the original Ubuntu 24.04 repositories. Ubuntu 24.04 will be supported until April 2029

Install PuppEX Noble64 Mate to hard drive
That is best done in the same way (frugal) as regards PuppEX Jammy64. Read about how to do that at the INFO site.

SCREENSHOTS
1. Running in full screen in VirtualBox
2. Using WiFi
3. Running a video in MPV
4. Loading the devx file
5. Using Samba

PuppEX (Puppy Linux) Noble64 – compatible with Ubuntu 24.04 – with LXDE as DE :: Build 241002

NEWS ABOUT PuppEX Noble64 24.04 241002
This Puppy derivative is a simple remaster of Noblepup64 24.08, which was released 240906 by “peebee”. It is built from Ubuntu 24.04 packages and packages built from woof-CE Recipes. Noblepup64 is one of the the best Puppy Linux systems I’ve ever tried so I decided to make it even better. My small changes of the original system:
1. I’ve replaced the original Puppy Linux Desktop with LXDE (DE for All), which I find more useful.
2. I’ve added some essential packages. Among them Samba so you can connect to your Windows computers in your home Network. Study all installed packages…
The ISO size has therefore increased from 990 MB to 1020 MB, but PuppEX runs nevertheless as fast as the original Puppy, which means that it runs very very fast! (Puppy Linux/PuppEX runs from RAM).
3. I’ve installed VirtualBox Guest Additions, which means that you can run this PuppEX version in full screen in VirtualBox. Watch this screenshot…
4. Some cosmetic changes. I.e. new wallpapers and icons.

COMPATIBLE WITH Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
Noblepup64.24.08/PuppEX Noble64 is compatible with Ubuntu 24.04 (Noble Numbat), which means that Ubuntu packages for Ubuntu 24.04 can be installed and used in PuppEX. You can use the Synaptic Package Manager or the apt command. (apt update, apt upgrade, apt install MyUsefulPackage etc).
IMPORTANT NOTE: The normal remasterpup2 script (which is included in all Puppy Linux versions) doesn’t work in Noblepup64 24.08. I had to use my “special remaster tricks” to be able to build PuppEX Noble64. The remasterpup2 script works very well in PuppEX Bookworm64 though. It works very well in PuppEX Slack64 15.0 too.
NOTE: Noblepup64.24.08/PuppEX Noble64 uses the original Ubuntu 24.04 repositories. Ubuntu 24.04 will be supported until April 2029

SCREENSHOTS
1. Running in full screen in VirtualBox
2. Showing a WiFi connection
3. The normal Desktop for root
4. Showing the SAVE option
