          Hello
 
 
Can you please tell what is the status of Kanotix?
 
I read somewhere in the German forum that Jörg Schirottke is busy and no longer maintaining this distribution?
 
 
Is it possible to merge forces with another distribution (for example:
 
https://neptuneos.com/en/start-page.html
 
)
 
in order to revive this project?
 
 
Thanks! |

I know this link...
 
Why the old Debians?
 
It says "preview 100%" about Debian 12 - is it beta quality or safe to use in day to day?
 
Who is "retabell"?
 
What can we do to make Kanotix look more alive?
 
 
Danke! |

The slowfire-nightly's are the (day)-current iso's based on debian 12 (bookworm)
 
They are made for daily use.
 
 
Retabell is the active maintainer of the iso creation.

          I've installed the KDE version on SSD of desktop computer.
 
The acritox installer didn't work for me - I got a black text screen with "grub" prompt.
 
Only Calamares installer worked.
 
KDE is great but I prefer a lighter desktop (Xfce instead of LXDE would have been much better).
 
I wish I had some graphics skills to contribute, a refreshed looks is much needed.
 
Thanks Retabell and Doris   |

          You can also install other window managers.
 
For example, if sudo is activated
 
This gives you the standard packages for starting xfce4
 
Code: 
sudo apt update
 
sudo apt install xfce4 xfce4-goodies
 
 
For example as root
 
Code: 
su
 
apt update
 
apt install xfce4 xfce4-goodies
 
 
When logging in, you can select the window manager.
 
Under Login Manager lightdm at the top of the bar.
 
With other login managers it is in a different place.
 
If automatic logon is activated, then log off once.
 
Select the window manager and log in again.

          Hello
 
Thank you for your suggestion.
 
I will try it in the near future, but the KDE version (I don't like LXDE although I prefer a lighter desktop than KDE).
 
Warm regards,
