    Window Maker Live

    Window Maker Live

    Window Maker Live Linux Distribution

    Window Maker Live is an installable Linux Live ISO based on the current Bookworm branch of Debian. The system uses the Window Maker window manager as the default graphical user interface. Window Maker Live's components have been carefully preconfigured and the desktop environment has a consistent visual appearance. Window Maker Live integrates selected components from other desktop environments such as XFCE4, MATE, LXQT, with a particular focus on GNUstep. The main idea behind this project is to integrate the Window Maker window manager as default user interface on top of a standard Debian/Bookworm base system. It also serves as an alternate installation medium for Debian/Bookworm. The second main idea not directly visible on the surface level is the inclusion of many useful command line utilities and tools for system administration. This effectively turns wmlive into a UNIX administrator's workbench for rescue and repair operations.

    AwesomeWM-spin

    My customized linux live spin using 'Awesome' the Window Manager (WM)

    My customized linux live spin using 'Awesome' the Window Manager (WM) If you are not familiar with the AwesomeWM you might have troubles using this LiveOS, unless you are experienced with Linux in general. If you are looking for a Windows (Microsoft TM) or iOS (Apple TM) alternative, this Linux spin is NOT for you! As the linux base system i'm using Fedora, which i found to work best for the hardware i have. This project is in no way related with Fedora. The install icon is to be found in '$HOME/notepad' This is highly customized to my very personal liking. * As less GUI as possible * Console for everything * No bling bling but my scripts * LUA hardcoded applications menu Introducing my stuff: * Text User Interface: https://github.com/sri-arjuna/tui * Sutra: Random sutras from the Vedics (german) * Several small scripts Based on: * Fedora: http://www.fedoraproject.org * AwesomeWM: http://awesome.naquadah.org/download/ * RPMFusion: http://rpmfusion.org
