NEWS 250901 ABOUT PuppEX Trixie64 – BUILD 250901 – with KDE Plasma 5:162

My new Puppy Linux derivative is built using the Trixie Build Script (mklive-trixie). It is compatible with Debian Trixie – Debian 13. It is for UEFI computers and non-UEFI computers. Build 250901 uses KDE Plasma 5:162 as Desktop Environment (DE). “Compatible with Debian 13” means that you can use the Apt command (apt update, apt upgrade, apt install MyUsefulPackage etc.) and Synaptic for installing thousands of new Debian packages in PuppEX Trixie64. PuppEX Trixie64 can easily be installed manually (frugal install) to hard drive if you have at least one Linux system installed. You must also use Grub as boot loader.

NOTE ABOUT SOUND
In PuppEX Trixie64 Build 250901 with KDE you will have sound also when logged in as root. That is essential since you normally run all Puppy/PuppEX versions as root. Screenshot of the Desktop for root…

SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT PuppEX Trixie64 KDE BUILD 250901
Normally you run all Puppy Linux versions as root. I.e. you will automatically be logged in as root to the desktop. Not as regards Build 250901 though. When the boot process is ready you will end up at LightDM‘s Login Manager page. Log in as the ordinary user puppy with password puppex. You will then enter the KDE Plasma Desktop. You can also log in to KDE as root with password root. While logged in as the ordinary user puppy you can of course use Sudo to become root. Example command: sudo pcmanfm.
