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
1. The MATE Desktop for the ordinary user user
2. Showing a WiFi connection
3. Showing a Samba connection
4. Showing a manual installation of ArchEX in VirtualBox

This Puppy derivative is made by me. It is a replacement for Build 230222. It is built from Ubuntu 22.04 (Jammy Jellyfish) packages and packages built from woof-CE Recipes.

Exton|OS 64 bit – based on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS – with KDE Plasma 5.27.11, Android Studio with an excellent Android Emulator and Refracta Snapshot :: Build 241103

NEWS 241103 ABOUT Exton|OS with KDE Plasma Desktop, Android Studio and Refracta Snapshot
The Desktop Environment in this Exton|OS build is KDE Plasma 5.27.11. 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. Program content in build 241103: Most important are Refracta Snapshot and Android Studio 2024.2.1 with an excellent Android Emulator. You can run several Android systems directly in Exton|OS. Also with GAPPS (Google Play Services and Google Play Store) pre-installed. Watch a screenshot when Android 14 is running with Google Play Store enabled. Other pre-installed programs are Firefox, Gimp and GParted. Also all necessary additions in order to install programs from source. Kernel 6.11.6-amd64-exton is used. All packages have been updated to the latest available version as at November 3, 2024. Study the NEW PACKAGE list. Google Chrome has been removed since it’s now possible to use Netflix in Firefox. Using Refracta Snapshot you can change everything to your liking and then create your own live installable Ubuntu 24.04 Noble Numbat system with Android Studio included. I mean create your own installable Ubuntu 24.04 LTS Live System once you have installed Exton|OS to hard drive. Ubuntu 24.04 LTS will be supported until June, 2029…
