If anyone finds an email of the distro's dev, please pm it to me. I want to ask him to include mesa-utils, for glxinfo and glxgears.
I don't know if the dev reads mdl (or is even a user on mdl), but this month's iso has mesa-utils installed! Maybe it was added for the 24.03.1 upgrade that was released yesterday. I wish I could help more with its development, because I really like it. 5 stars! * * * * *
The original iso contains only gparted and some basic/eseential utils (e.g. a file manager), because its core functionality is gparted as an app. Dr. Parted and parted magic contain a lot more tools like adb, clonezilla, etc and apps like e.g. a web browser.
Can anyone download this month's iso with more than 50-100kb/s? I tried it many times yesterday and today, I tried different mirrors because it was only on the main server yesterday and yet the speed is insanely slow no matter what. I tried downloading something else from sourceforge (the crdroid rom for my phone) and it downloads at max speed.
First things first. When I tried it yestarday morning, in like <1 hour after the file was uploaded, only one server could serve the file, the main one and its speed was terrible. Then I tried again in the afternoon where it had a few more mirrors available, I tried 4-5 of them, but they were all slow. In fact, the download did not even start for some. And today, like 2-3 hours ago (2pm at eest right now), I clicked it, let the mirror selection in auto mode, and it downloaded at full speed.
If the dev of dr parted is reading this, I have a small request. Can you please add fwupdate (fwupd package)? I think it would be nice to have a firmware update app among the ones in the iso. If you need a frontend for it, I think gnome-firmware is enough. Thank you in advance
