^ Sad news.
I tried Bodhi Linux once when it still was a pretty young distro. Maybe not my cup of tea, but it worked well even on old hardware.

^ Ouch. Why not a Mate version?

[machinebacon]

Should be there in "Indian Summer" (at least the config file is already there in the build system)

Code: Select all

packages = """
    gfxboot-themes-siduction-indiansummer-mate
    siduction-art-mate-indiansummer
    siduction-live-settings-mate-indiansummer
    # siduction-settings-gdm3-indiansummer
    siduction-settings-mate-indiansummer
    siduction-settings-lightdm-gtk-indiansummer
"""

^^ Ha! Sweet! I was just preparing to dig around for something like this. Planning on moving my antiX install to Jessie, even if I have to remove Trinity DE :(

They are still looking for art contributors, so maybe Drew or Kex want to join? :)

The logo looks like pasta on a fork...
And, is it just me or is it annoying to see all those Bold letters?
Sorry it seems a bit juvenile/ attention seeking to me. Next stop when/ if their donations are too low, they will start using CAPS...

my 2 pence

Really, systemd-shim, and who will maintain that piece because IMO it will die in the future? I thought they go minimal, then why use that shit anyway? Besides, you can already do the same in Debian, just following Ivan's suggestion in this forum if you want to mimic logind. ;) And look at the donation shit, sorry.

Anyway, good luck. Better the systemd haters leave the community and it maybe becomes nice again. :)
