Re: Darkness - ISO Devuan Testing + TDE for AMD64

July aka Summer 2026 Version is out!

Biggest changes:

- TDE 14.2.0-DEVELOPMENT
- Xlibre 25.2.0
- new background images
- kernel 7.1.3
- all specific tweaks are packaged in darkness-tweaks
- i386 crossinstaller with kernel 7.0.14
- rpi crossinstaller

Notes:

- Persistent partition at 3GB when booting the ISO from a USB stick: As long as any future ISO written to the stick is smaller than 3GB the data on the partition is unaffected.
- Virtualbox/VMware guest graphics: "modesetting" is used for "VirtualBox GPU".
- Laguage: TDE language packs of unused languages are removed when booting from iso, so that translations of missing texts come from english and not from any other language pack
- deactivate 3D acceleration on Lenovo X61 / Intel GM965/GL960
- dark theme for OpenSCAD

Download:

Re: Darkness - ISO Devuan Testing + TDE for AMD64

Hello samhain !
It's my first post here.I use your OS since about one month now.Runs great but it uses a lot ram at start up ( about 800MB  with htop ).Right now i'm under excalibur XFCE where i installed TDE; and under TDE the ram used is about 460MB at start up.Xlibre seems to consume more ram than Xorg.
Best regards,
Amol

Thanks for trying

IMO the high ram consumtion has to do with the compositor. When you turn that off you should get significant less memory usage. If you happen to have a 1GB RAM machine then you should install the 32 bit version (I updated the i386 kernel to 7.1.5)
