wattOS R11 will have 32 bit...I am running it right now

Also please give us any details on installer options selected on install. If you try to encrypt your home directory on install, or install updates, or select 3rd party updates, etc. all can make the installer crash.

Also please note if you are installing on wireless or wired, etc. Any details are helpful

tks

Hi all,

Thanks for the patience - Below is a Trello board for those who would like to track progress of the various items, and periodically look for updates, comments, decisions, etc.

The most relevant news you probably care about is "when, and what"

That will be that R11 will be released on 10-26, and will be a remaster of 17.10

The plan there is to support it just like Ubuntu until July 2018. This gives folks something to try/play/test and use until R12 comes out which will be LTS just like Ubuntu and will occur a week following the release just like this one.

The most important thing that we will need between now and early October are suggestions, questions, and apps/things you would like to see. The Trello board will be the working canvas for this. The board is read only, but public, but I need a couple of trusted volunteers who will have access to add new requests, questions, topics to the board. Feel free to throw them here in the forums and they will get added also, but the board will be the "official" canvas of what is being done for this release. I would suggest we use this release just like Ubuntu does to try new things, looks at things and consider what we want our LTS R12 to look like

Of course Blaze and Leenie and Cheiron come to mind, but I am open to discussing others if you want to help contribute in a constructive way. The most important trait is to be available to help and add things, comment, discuss, etc. as needed. The tempo of things over the next 6 weeks will be much more active obviously than the previous 6 months

Onward and upward.....

Hi CharlieK -

Thanks for asking, but you can use wattOS for whatever you like with no obligations

I have even had a company use it for their netbooks they sold, so its truly free and open...

Of course support here is best effort and free (and I am slow sometimes). If you want/need professional support with SLA's , or per incident help, feel free to contact me directly to discuss that.

Good luck and have fun

I have had this problem in the past, if you have not fixed it yet, I'll break out a laptop and plug it into an HDMI monitor and see if I can replicate and give you the steps. - Thanks for being patient.

Hi all ! This is the area were the information on wattOS R11 will live.

We will be changing things up with development this time around as I would like a more transparent process, and to actually hit a release date. - Those of you who have been around know that has been sometimes a moving target. In any case, look for updates here next week on how that works. I have plans to put up a Kanban board that members can view and look at the development progress, programs, dates, and other information relative to wattOS.

Thanks for the patience, and support as always. Its a bit of a thankless job for folks here in the forums sometimes, but its always appreciated.

Steam is a godsend for games - works like a champ...Also playonlinux....while sometimes takes some fiddling...I have world of warcraft, hearthstone, Diablo 3, and Heroes of the Storm all working - I have a hotrod rig, so that helps...But I have over 100 Steam games that run on linux

I like that Idea....I use one on my Kali Linux laptop so every time I start it, or open a terminal it says "Security First" in an ASCII format
