Re: Darkness - ISO Devuan Testing + TDE for AMD64

Passwords are the same as in the first post:

As I explained in the post anything that requires the TDE su password as is asked for with many, perhaps all, of the system tools does not work with the default passwords. Setting a password for the root account allows these tools to work by using it.

Re: Darkness - ISO Devuan Testing + TDE for AMD64

This looks really nice, i'm not into TDE or KDE but that desktop looks sharp, the wallpapers are gorgeous. Not a fan of having the panel on the side but I bet it would look great at the bottom.

And in 3 different languages? That's one helluva LOT of work, kudos my friend and also big props for giving Xlibre a shot! I'll have to download this later and take it for a spin.

Re: Darkness - ISO Devuan Testing + TDE for AMD64

Thank you for taking the time to come up with such an interesting spin! I use Devuan + TDE stable as my daily driver, its the combo that made me stop distro-hopping and I can't praise enough how both projects represent a beacon of hope in the modern Linux ecosystem!
With Darkness being on the dev/testing branch of both TDE and Devuan I can't commit to installing it on my production machine, but I wish you all the best with this project!

And the addition of XLibre...? Chef's kiss 🤌

- Xlibre instead of Xorg - thanks to @callmetango
- new background images
- kernel 6.16.8
- own repository for darkness-specific packages (ATM a package for the repo and the wallpapers)
…

@samhain: Thank you very much for your efforts and for choosing XLibre! We spread the word a little bit:
