I am happy to announce the release of SbK Debian Xfce 125.
Compiz is currently broken in testing, so this month its a normal Xfce release.
All iso's in this release include:
1. The 6.6.65 kernel.
2. The New KoraSpin-icolor icon theme with light and dark versions of the control icons. They are part of the KoraSpin-125 package.
3. The new SpinThemeDarkRed8 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 12/31/2024. Lots of updates since the last release.
6. Waterfox is the installed browser.
7. An optional Firefox/Waterfox theme, SbK Dark Red8, 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.

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