Goodbye Windows 11, hello Linux: Discover how ExTiX Deepin 24.8 can free your computer from Microsoft
Quoting: Goodbye Windows 11, hello Linux: Discover how ExTiX Deepin 24.8 can free your computer from Microsoft —
ExTiX Deepin 24.8 has been launched (download here) as the latest version of the Linux distribution, now based on the newly stable Deepin 23. Released just a day after the official launch of Deepin 23 STABLE, ExTiX 24.8 offers an enhanced user experience powered by the Linux Kernel 6.10.3-amd64-exton.
This release is particularly appealing for users looking for a Deepin-based system but prefer to steer clear of software directly from Chinese companies due to privacy or trust concerns.

Deepin 23-based ExTiX 24.8 live Linux launches with Synaptic Package Manager and Google Chrome in tow
Released earlier this week, Deepin 23 is a Linux distro with a predominantly Chinese userbase. Developed in Wuhan, China, Deepin comes with its own web browser, namely Deepin Browser. However, Deepin 23 only includes this app in Chinese, even when choosing English as the primary language. ExTiX 24.8 comes to address this matter while offering its users both the chance to run a live Linux environment that's based on Deepin 23 or install it on a hard drive.
ExTiX 24.8 arrived yesterday, and while using Deepin 23 as a foundation, it employs the 6.10.3-amd64-exton kernel, which is a special piece of code equivalent to Kernel.org's 6.10.3 stable kernel. Conceived as a live Linux distro, ExTiX is highly customizable, so those interested can create their own live, installable Deepin 23-based environment with the help of Refracta Snapshot. When booting it up as a live system, ExTiX 24.8 can be installed on the hard drive using Refracta Installer or Deepin Installer.
