NEWS ABOUT SlackEX 15.0 BETA with LXQt
Because I like Slackware so much I’ve made a new extra version of SlackEX 15.0 BETA. This time with LXQt as Desktop environment. 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. LXQt is not included in Slackware’s repositories. I’ve built the LXQt packages following the instructions at Gitlab.com. If you already have Slackware/SlackEX installed to hard drive you can do the same. It’s very easy if you have KDE installed. Otherwise you’ll have to install some KDE/LXQt dependencies. Not that difficult though. So SlackEX Build 210501 is a live remaster of Slackware 15.0 BETA. You can install SlackEX to hard drive and also use Refracta Snapshot for creating your very own live installable Slackware 15.0 system. Two kernels are included in Build 210501. While running SlackEX live (from a DVD or USB stick) kernel 5.9.6-exton will be used. After a hard drive installation kernel 5.10.32-exton will be used. Kernel 5.10.32 is a long term release (LTS). To be able to create your own Slackware 15.0 system you will have to use (boot up with) kernel 5.9.6-exton.
NEW features in version 210501 of SlackEX
Kernel 5.9.6-exton is kept so that Refracta Snapshot can be used. Using Refracta Snapshot you can change everything and create your very own Slackware 15.0 system. Read more about Refracta at the INFO site. LXQt is used as Desktop environment. Furthermore I have installed Grub2, which can be used as boot loader (if you want) after a hard drive install using Refracta Installer. A lot of other Slackware packages are pre-installed. Study the full package LIST. Log in to LXQT as the ordinary user user with password live or as root with password root. While running SlackEX LXQt in VirtualBox you can do so in full screen since VirtualBox Guest Additions are pre-installed (as regards both kernels). Watch this screenshot.
