    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.

    From all the social media, I only use facebook (for messenger), so this is to no use :(

    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.

    No problem, here, if you clic problem downloading, you'll be redirected to different server.

    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 :)

    Fwupdate was added to this month's iso, along with gnome-firmware! Thank you so much!
