SbK Cinnamon 1024 release

#1 Post by jimb1963 »

I am happy to announce the release of SbK Debian Cinnamon 10/24.

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

Cinnamon also has a minimal iso with a panel instead of a dock.

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

All iso's in this release include:
1. The 6.10.11 kernel.
2. The New KoraSpin-Peach2 icon theme with light and dark versions of the control icons. They are part of the KoraSpin-1024 package.
3. The new SpinThemeDarkPeach 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 10/1/2024. Lots of updates since the last release.
6. Waterfox is the installed browser.
7. An optional Firefox/Waterfox theme, SbK Dark Peach, 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.

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, midisport-firmware, and the dock iso's also contain cairo-dock-shortcuts-plug-in.
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.

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

As always comments, suggestions and questions are welcome.

Jim

This completes the 10/24 series. The builds went very smoothly, enabling me to release them two at a time.
