Hi Picus769fr

Good to see that you found your way back. Yes, LXDE is becoming rare, switched for LXQt probably. Therefore it so nice to see that wattOS is back!

heya Blaze! Yeap, we alive and kicking and live once more.. come join us over on discord bud https://discord.com/invite/gzfgJVeytj

Thanks for the invite, we´ll see. Real life is very busy though, would say crazy busy. The older I get the busier it gets  it should have started to reverse by now! 

Tinkering time is very marginal nowadays but will try to squeeze in a look at the wattOS live session as a minimum. Using BunsenLabs since forever it feels like, with some very occasional dibble dabble with a couple of other Debian derivatives. If not for other engagements get too much in the way I will certainly check in on you guys here occasionally.

Keep it up and stay   

Congratulations to the whole team on the launch wattOS R12 .

I'm gobsmacked! I downloaded the ISO image and created a bootable, live USB drive via unetbootin, only to then discover that it is for an X86_64 CPU. Does WattOS-R12 really not support 32-bit systems? Isn't that a major purpose of WattOS? Admittedly, I might/must have missed the notice, but surely there's room in the Release Notes to mention a system requirement such as this. Please advise.

As Emily Litella used to say, "Never mind." I read a post from May, 2021 in a related thread, and saw that a 64-bit system is a prerequisite for WattOS-R12. How 'bout dat. I previously ran WattOS-R2 on 32-bit hardware, so when I read that -R12 was based on Debian "Bullseye", I figured that -R12 would also support my 32-bit systems. Silly me. Of course, my ASUS 900A (32-bit) currently runs Debian "Bookworm", so my assumption about -R12 was not unfounded. I guess the old adage still holds true: "If it ain't broke, don't 'fix' it."

Good luck!

Hi JB.. i was gonna say.. pop over to our discord server where we can offer live help but i have just seen you there! posts on 32bit to follow
