#1 Post by jimb1963 »

I am happy to announce the release of SbK Debian Xfce-Compiz 9/24.

The SpinsbyKilz.com watermark is not present in the installed OS.

Xfce-Compiz also has a minimal iso with a panel instead of a dock.

SbK Debian spins are built and follow the testing branch. They are rolling releases with newer software than Debian static releases most of the time.

These iso's do not work in Virtualbox. It looks like compiz does not like the virtual graphics driver.

All iso's in this release include:
1. The 6.10.6 kernel.
2. The Compiz 9 window manager with the rotating cube for virtual desktops, faded windows in the background, wobbly windows, and other effects.
3. The New KoraSpin-Gold4 icon theme with light and dark versions of the control icons. They are part of the KoraSpin-924 package.
4. The new SpinThemeDarkGold8 matching Gtk and Kvantum themes in one package was used.
5. The same background is used for the grub, desktop, and login screen backgrounds.
6. The iso's are up to date as of 9/1/2024. Lots of updates since the last release.
7. Waterfox is the installed browser.
8. An optional Firefox/Waterfox theme, SbK Dark Gold8, is available here, just click on the image in Firefox to install it.

All iso's also contain the standard SbK features.

1. The latest kernel.
2. A Debian operating system install that is built from the Debian repositories.
3. It is multiarch by default to make running wine games and other 32bit
4. The Spins by Kilz signed repository is enabled for SbK project packages.
5. Timeshift autosnap apt is installed. It takes a snapshot before upgrading so any bad upgrades can be easily reversed.
6. A basic Conky with a color theme that matches the desktop themes.

License information
The installed OS has Debian main, contrib, non-free, and non-free-firmware enabled.
The only packages in the iso from non-free are faac, p7zip-rar, rar, unrar, and midisport-firmware.
Wallpapers not named SbK are under the Unsplash license.
The rest of the packages in the SbK repo are under standard free licenses, most under the GPL v3.

A full and very minimal iso’s can be found here.
