MX-23 “Libretto” Release Candidate 1 (RC1) now available
MX-23 RC1 is now available for testing. MX-23 is built from debian 12 “bookworm” and MX repositories. As in past releases, the MX will default to sysVinit but systemd remains an option for installed systems. Updates from RC to final are fully supported.
This release builds upon beta 2, and includes all bug fixes and changes to date, including default wallpapers and theming as well as updated translations and applications.
In this release we are very interested in installer testing. Many bugs related to btrfs installations have been addressed. The installer has received many updates since beta2. The Installer now supports swapfiles as well as swap partitions. The “regular” auto installation will default to swapfiles. There are many other installer changes, including gui adjustments (layout builder in the custom install partitions area), setting of some debconf value to make legacy grub-pc updates more seamless, various fixes for grub install functions and cleanup of “dump” entries that might be clogging up a user’s nvram. There is also additional help guidance right in the installer gui.
