#1 Re: Intergalactic Communities » Spaced Linux » Today 18:40:33
The posts were subtly different, and I don't know why we're in Intergalactic Communities, when Spaced is clearly a devuan derivative.... Sorry if I didn't handle it optimally, not my intent. Just figured there should be SOMETHING in the Devuan derivative section, since our main goal is making a better Desktop OS for Devuan. LMK what you would prefer. I'm on team Devuan. Not trying to be a detractor in any way.
#2 Devuan Derivatives » [SOLVED] Spaced Linux 10.26.2 » Today 17:53:50

Hey guys!
I'm the main dev behind SpacedLinux.com
My goal is to make an EASY TO USE devuan rolling distro that just works out of the box on all hardware.
And so far I think we've mostly nailed it (other than a recent AMD xorg deprecation, which I'm still researching how to resolve best).
If you guys have a better devuan rolling desktop out there somewhere: Let me know.
We've had about 7,000 downloads since inception in July, and were at one point #28 on distrowatch, even beating FreeBSD.
I'm currently working on seamless samba/windows networking, and fixing the AMD/xorg deprecation, maybe by moving to xlibre. Still in the research stage on both projects.
Version 10.26 should work pretty well on all hardware without issues.
It works better on real hardware than in a VM, although the VM should work fine as well, it's really designed for direct hardware and display integration via Compiz/Mate.
Cheers guys, and thank you for my favorite base OS: Devuan Ceres

Yeah, as the Spaced Linux Dev, I'm strongly looking at xlibre. Thoughts? Pluses, minuses? Thanks in advance.

Hey guys! I'm the Spaced Linux dev. Lots to respond to here. Firstly, I'm not trying to keep root password from an end user, quite the opposite. For whatever reason in an early testing version it was 1 (expedience), but it's not supposed to ask for root at all from the Live ISO, so that was a mistake/issue, and I *think* it's been solved since then. At the moment there is an AMD xorg issue in ceres, so 10.26.1 and 10.26.2 are both having issues.
Thanks for posting those videos. Those are me and I still stand by them.
This is not a vanity distro. I have clients and every other OS sucks. It's really just that simple. Spaced Linux, built on Devuan Ceres is superior to all other OSes for usability, functionality, efficiency, and reliability. And that's mainly thanks to you guys here because Devuan is awesome.
Most of you guys are probably trying it in a VM, and it's not really designed for that. It should still work, but it's WAY better on real hardware. Just FYI.
I believe our Nvidia installer is best in class, even better than the Linux Mint nvidia installer. Still working on the AMD stack, but it was pretty great just 2 version ago.
Flatpak is just for ease of use for normies. If you guys want to apt everything: that is definitely all built in, and will probably work better than whatever you are currently using as a main desktop.
The Compiz/MATE choice is highly intentional. It's a clearly superior interface to all other DEs. And it's old, stable, and fast. The enhanced zoom alone makes it better than KDE/Gnome, or any other mind-slave DEs, and also better than the Open Source friendly options (non wayland, etc..).
If you guys have questions or suggestions for me: I'M ALL EARS. I love Devuan (obviously), and I'm just trying to make a nice, normie friendly Devuan desktop to free the world from corporate baby eaters.
