NEWS ABOUT SlackEX 15.0 stable Build 231201 with KDE Plasma 5.27.9 (latest) as DE
A new extra version of SlackEX is ready. It is based on Slackware 15.0 stable released 220203. In this version I’ve installed KDE Plasma 5.27.9 (latest version released 231024). Plasma 5.27 is a LTS (Long Term Support) version. Kernel 6.6.1-amd64-exton is used. The most important package installed is Refracta Snapshot. Study a LIST of all installed packages. With Refracta Snapshot you can build your own Slackware distribution with Plasma 5.27.9. KDE is one of Slackware’s official Desktop Environments. The other one is Xfce4.
NOTE1: You’ll run SlackEX Build 231201 as the normal user user or as root. The password for root is root. The password for user is live.
NOTE2: You can run SlackEX Build 231201 on UEFI and non-Uefi computers. You can also run SlackEX live super fast from RAM if you start SlackEX in Legacy Mode.
NOTE3: If you want to run SlackEX as root you shall choose “Other” using SDDM Login Manager. The password for root is root.
NOTE4: While running SlackEX KDE in VirtualBox you can do so in full screen since VirtualBox Guest Additions are pre-installed. Watch this screenshot…
