Did Dan ever mention why he stopped developing Miyo?

Re: [MiyoLinux] New Releases Uploaded

I do not know if you are aware of MiyoLinux Daedalus version that Jim Acklaw released last March under Sourceforge. You will notice Dan made his comment for it by showing his appreciation to Jim as its first reviewer.  Jim declares to provide x86_64 version per Devuan release cycle.   ... yoshi

Re: [MiyoLinux] New Releases Uploaded

Dan made a post just 2 days ago on his sourceforge page, and made no mention at all of this other version.

EDIT
Got the answer on Dan's sourceforge page (the link above), yes he does endorse Jim's version.

Re: [MiyoLinux] New Releases Uploaded

Does anybody know how to contact this Jim Acklaw? I'd like to download his version of Miyo but he doesn't include sha values on his sourceforge page. I'd like to suggest to him to start including it, but his sourceforge page also doesn't have a Discussion area like Dan's does.

Do you have to be logged in to see this? I don't see a "More" button to click.

EDIT

Okay, I see it. And yes, you have to be logged in to see it. He also mentioned that he's quitting yt and moving over to Rumble, but I see that he posted new videos after he made the announcement. 😕

NEXT EDIT
I forgot to say: "Thanks."

Re: [MiyoLinux] New Releases Uploaded

I was able to contact Dan, he is cool with us working Miyo into our pipelines... We just released our latest updated ISOs on Jul 1, we should be free for awhile, to get this worked in. I am not sure we can do all the window managers, but will try to do what we can. Dan if you read this stay strong! See you when you get back to it ! thank you for all that you do. If any one is interested in helping out do let me know.

As always thank you! Devuan Team for what you do!

Re: [MiyoLinux] New Releases Uploaded

Hi all,

I recently created a spin called DXM but unfortunately, it wasn't as complete as I'd hoped so, while I was thinking about what to do with it, I decided that rather than start from scratch and build it up, I'd take something with a proven track record like MiyoLinuxJWM from 2022, update and upgrade it to Daedalus, add my DXM configs and see what happened? The result is MiyoXM!
The downside is that compared to DXM's 860ish packages it comes in at more like 1160(I was aiming for a lower package count).
The upside is that it's basically MiyoLinux with a twist, and it works a lot better using that as a base!
In case you're wondering, Miyo(Dan) himself is endorsing it and is happy for me to release it as MiyoXM. It is very minimal and the idea is to make it your own as per Miyo's philosophy.
If anyone is interested, the link to the iso is: https://u.pcloud.link/publink/show?code … mh17LarHR7
DXM is still available to download but needs some tweaking. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it because I'm planning a version of MiyoXM converted to AwesomeWM next. Not sure what to call it but MIMOSA came to mind: Made It My Own Super Awesome. I don't get out much.

Moulder.

EDIT: I neglected to mention the username and password although I'm sure you could work it out easily enough. miyo and miyo.
