Debian User Forums

I'm not a new user to Linux, as I started with Debian Squeeze. All those years ago.

But, after using XFCE, GNOME, MATE, KDE, and others all these years, I need a new face.

I heard and read up a lot about LXQT and it's counterpart, LXDE.

Few thing that's been bugging me, though.

1. After being on KDE Wayland for awhile, (with Endeavour) how well does LXQT work with it? I read it now has support for Labwc, KWin, Wayfire, Hyprland, etc.

2. I keep hearing LXQT is "A lightweight DE" Is there any ...

I'm glad you sorted it out.

Please, mark the discussion as "solved" manually adding the text tag "[Solved]" at the beginning of the subject of the first message.

Thanks.

Yeah, I forgot about that. Been awhile since I've been on here

Also look at this link. It currently lists the linux kernels.

That first link is exactly what I was looking for, thanks!

I remember I saw this before, but I can't find it for the life of me.

It was within Debian website.

It has a list of kernels that were ported to stable, testing, and unstable.

On the left side, you can see all kernel versions, plus the ones in development.

If any of you can help me.. Google isn't helping.

Based on is just that, the root of the system is Debian-based. Yes, there are some changes, different installer, added programs (like Mint has done) etc.
But at the root of it, based means just that, the crux, roots, huge part or said linux distro.

To clear up one thing you said, Ubuntu is based on Debian.


Here is an image of the Debian distro timeline


I actually been looking for that picture. But all I could find are versions up to 2007. Nice to know.

So, is it best to stay with ...

I have been using Debian since Squeeze, and have used several distros since then. Ubuntu, Mint (and LMDE), OpenSUSE, Fedora, Arch (many derivatives), and since, I'm back to using Sparky (based on Debian Testing) Planning to move to straight Debian Testing soon.

Now, is any distro "based of Debian", rather be stable, testing, or unstable, use everything Debian has to offer, PLUS? I can't wrap my head around this. So, let's take Ubuntu, for instance. They are based on Linux, but Canonical really ...

I have seen many guides and videos on how to set up a router using Debian. But all of them are old guides from 2011 or 2013. Surely there is some new software that no one talks about?

I do, however, understand the network part, set Ips, DNS, HTPC, BUT what I don't get is where to go on from that.

Firewall?
Port Forward?
Other tools needed?
