This was discussed on another part of the forum as 18.04 was a LTS release, it was decided after much testing that rather than do 2 quick WattOS versions... R11/12 .. to wait for the LTS of 18.04 and just release the one single R11 and have the extended support :)

Post by: prassee on May 13, 2018, 02:46:33 PM: thats exactly my question when R11 getting released :-)
Title: Re: Early pics inbound
Post by: cheiron on May 13, 2018, 06:42:51 PM: 18.04 has only just been released mainstream so Biff is just checking some compatability stuff then it's out for testing folks. Please bear with him folks as he give up his very limited spare time to build WattOS and maintain both this and his real life.

Post by: prassee on June 12, 2018, 06:09:35 AM: Its 2028, Iam mid in my 40's.
One fine day, suddenly stuck with a old memory, I am visiting http://planetwatt.com/new/ page and its home page welcomes me with a big message saying "R11 - Coming Soon!".

I closed the tab and moved on ....

Post by: pezfeo on July 03, 2018, 01:38:04 PM: I look forward to the release, any idea of ETA?
Also, can I be promoted? I'm not looking for "Admin", I'll take "Inquisitor" if it's available.
Title: Re: Early pics inbound
Post by: cheiron on July 03, 2018, 03:26:18 PM: Re ETA.. Waiting on Biffster for this as he is the one that makes the OS. He has a crazy R/L atm but is trying to work around it.

As for the promo.. you broke rule 101!!! Never ask :D

Post by: aref on August 07, 2018, 06:15:31 AM: I hope the R-11 WILL support 32bit
Title: Re: Early pics inbound
Post by: cheiron on August 07, 2018, 01:00:05 PM: hi aref and welcome to WattOS

Depending on the build of R11 with the new 18.04 in mind.. we have a few options to support 32bit still... whilst the default 18.04 ubuntu no longer ships in 32 bit.. there is Lubuntu, Mate and Budgie all available in 32bit flavours so fear not!

We're waiting on Biffster at the moment to get a spare moment in his hetic real life work schedule to provide an update so please be patient :)

Post by: Dodcel on January 22, 2019, 03:02:52 PM: Hello everyone, would like to know when will be released version R11 or R12 has some forecast.
Thanks.
Title: Re: Early pics inbound
Post by: herndon.jeffreys on January 25, 2019, 10:37:32 PM: I would really love to know when r11 or r12 is coming as well... and will Biff have to switch to Debian which still has 32 bit support? I heard Lubuntu is moving away from being a disto for older (32 bit) machines :)
Title: Re: Early pics inbound
Post by: cheiron on January 26, 2019, 04:40:05 PM: Nope.. ubuntu still has 32 bit in store so dont fear... just a few different flavours now that support it ..

Depending on the build of R11 / R12 with the direction Ubuntu are taking in mind.. we have a few options to support 32bit still... whilst the default 18.04 ubuntu no longer ships in 32 bit.. there is Lubuntu (only for the moment) but Mate and Budgie are all available in 32bit flavours so fear not!We're waiting on Biffster at the moment to get a spare moment in his hetic real life work schedule to provide an update so please be patient :)

Post by: veggie on January 29, 2019, 02:03:15 PM: I hope LXDE will be the desktop environment . I have been testing LXQT and that thing is bloated. Too heavy for me and I don't like it. Has too much software doesn't look like a Light Environment. Lubuntu is going to ditch LXDE so It's going to be like WATTOS the distro I see that still has LXDE.
