Window Maker Live 13.5 released!
That's the Linux distro i use on my Pinebook Pro.
Based on Debian/Trixie point release 13.5 using Linux kernel version 6.12.86 for the amd64 and the arm64 variant.
Additionally, more recent kernels 6.12.88 and 7.0.7 are supplied on the ISO image's package pool for manual installation.
The 32-bit variant of wmlive for i686 class CPU's is provided as an experimental hybrid of the older bookworm installer and kernel version 6.1.172, combined with the current trixie/i386 package pool. It is exclusively aimed at users preferring to continue operating still perfectly working old/retro hardware at the expense of any support guarantees.
In addition to the overall Debian/Trixie package updates, updated packages include the NeXT emulator previous-4.3 and palemoon 34.2.2.
New application additions are the pdf comparison tool diff-pdf, a graphical grub-customizer, the jbig2 encoder, the storage media interface udevil, and the linux-vulnerability-mitigation tool.
The supplied firmware packages have been updated with much newer up to date versions in order to provide enhanced hardware support.
The amount of large applications has been reduced to lower the size of the ISO images.
Any missing application software can easily be installed online using the apt package management suite once the system has been installed to disk.
See https://wmlive.sourceforge.net for further details and download options.
