I am happy to announce the release of SbK Debian LXQt 12/23.
Both iso's in this release include:
1. The 6.5.10 kernel.
2. The New KoraSpin-Aqua7 icon theme with light and dark versions of the control icons. They are part of the KoraSpin-1223 package.
3. The new SpinThemeDarkAqua16 matching Gtk and Kvantum themes in one package was used.
4. The same background is used for the grub, desktop, and login screen backgrounds.
5. The iso's are up to date as of 12/2/2023. Lots of updates since the last release.
6. Waterfox is the installed browser.
7. An optional Firefox/Waterfox theme, SbK Dark Aqua16, is available here, just click on the image in Firefox to install it.
Both 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.
7. They are rolling release installs following testing. As setup they will always follow testing.
8. New custom dark themes every release.
License information

The Wallpapers 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.
As always comments, suggestions and questions are welcome.

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

Re: SbK LXQt 1223 release
Congratulations to the developers and the great world wide Debian user base. In my humble opinion this is outstanding proof that crowd sourcing problems and issues to many different people in several different nations accessed the world can come together in a cohesive manner to create such a stable variant of Linux and maintain it to the degree that the Debian team does do well.

SbK spins are unofficial install media, and are not officially part of the Debian project. Though the installed OS is Debian, built from the Debian repositories and a few SbK additions.

I would be happy to see a newbie install one of the SbK spins, but I think they may appeal to slightly more people. Anyone who wants a good looking install out of the box and/or doesnt want to install static releases may find the spins useful, or just doesnt have a lot of time to polish the desktop are included. In the end SbK is a labor of love and anyone who finds one of the spins useful brings a smile to my face.
