ExTiX 19.5 LXQt/Kodi – Build

190508
I have made a new version of ExTiX –
The Ultimate Linux System. I call it
ExTiX 19.5 LXQt/Kodi Live DVD. (The
previous LXQt version was 19.1.2 from
190102). The best thing with ExTiX
19.5 is that while running the system
live (from DVD/USB) or from hard
drive you can use Refracta Snapshot
(pre-installed) to create your own live
installable Ubuntu system. So easy
that a ten year child can do it! As an alternative to LXQt you can run
Kodi 19 ALPHA1 Matrix. Just start Kodi like any other program while
logged in to the LXQt Desktop as the ordinary user live. I have
enabled a few addons in Kodi. Most important the Netflix addon.
One other very good thing with this version of ExTiX is that it is quite
light. The ISO file is of only 1220 MB, which means that you can run
the system superfast from RAM. When the boot process is ready you
can eject the DVD or USB stick. Use Boot alternative 2 or Advanced
options… >> load to RAM.

ExTiX 19.5 LXQt/Kodi DVD 64 bit is based on Debian and Ubuntu

19.04. The original system includes the Desktop Environment
Gnome. After removing Gnome I have installed LXQt 0.14.1. LXQt is
the Qt port and the upcoming version of LXDE, the Lightweight Desktop
Environment. It is the product of the merge between the LXDE-Qt and the
Razor-qt projects: A lightweight, modular, blazing-fast and user-friendly
desktop environment. I have also installed Kodi 19 Matrix with some
addons already enabled. Most important Netflix, Plex and Amazon
Video addons. NOTE: This ExTiX LXQt Build is for installation to
UEFI-enabled computers. You shall use Refracta Installer for that.

The system language is ENGLISH.

WHAT’S SO SPECIAL about ExTiX and especially the new version

from 190508?
1. The ExTiX ISO’s are ISO-hybrids, which means that they can very
easily be transferred (copied) to a USB pen drive. You can even run
ExTiX from the USB stick and save all your system changes on the
stick. I.e. you will enjoy persistence!
2. Another big improvement is that both ExTiX versions can run from
RAM. Use Boot alternative 2 (load to RAM). When the system has
booted up you can remove the disc (DVD) or USB stick. You’ll need at
least 2 GB RAM to run ExTiX that way. Running from RAM means
that the system will run faster than from a DVD or a USB stick.
Everything will be superfast I would say! Especially since the ISO file
is of only 1220 MB!
3. ExTiX LXQt is now more stable than ever. All packages have been
upgraded to the latest version by 190508.
4. I’ve replaced kernel 4.20.0-extix with kernel 5.1.0-exton. Kernel 5.1
is the latest kernel by 190508. (Released 190506).
5. I have replaced Ubuntu’s installation program Ubiquity (live
installer) with Refracta Installer. It works very well. I.e. a new user
(your user) will be created during the installation process and you’ll
get a chance to change root’s password. Just start the installer from
the menu under System.
6. The best thing with ExTiX 19.5 is that while running the system live
(from DVD/USB) or from hard drive you can use Refracta Snapshot
(pre-installed) to create your own live installable Ubuntu system.
7. As an alternative to LXQt you can run Kodi 19 Matrix . Just start
Kodi like any other program while logged in to the LXQt Desktop as
the ordinary user live. I have enabled a few addons in Kodi. Most
important the Netflix addon. NOTE: You can’t run Kodi as root. (You
won’t have sound).
8. Nvidia proprietary Graphics driver 418.74 is pre-installed in ExTiX
19.5. It will be used automatically if your computer has support for it.

What’s new in kernel 5.1?

The importance of Kodi 19 being in ALPHA level

I don’t think you will notice anything special. I.e. addons won’t crash
or anything like that. Please tell me if you have any problems when
running Kodi.

ABOUT RaspAnd Pie 9 – a new

extra build 190429
RaspAnd Pie 9 runs very well on a
Raspberry Pi 3 Model B and 3 Model
B+. I.e. the system is pretty responsive
if you use a micro SD card of good
quality. RaspAnd Pie Build 190429 has
the following apps pre-installed:
Google Chrome, Yalp Store, Aptoide
App Manager, Aida64, Rotation Control, Evie Launcher, Termux and
ES File Explorer. Unfortunately not Google Play Store, but Yalp Store
and Aptoide work as good replacements for it.

ABOUT Android Pie 9, which was released 180806…

Differences
My first RaspAnd Pie Build is from 190315. In Build 190429 I’ve
added Yalp Store and replaced Nova Launcher with Evie Launcher.

About Yalp Store

Yalp Store lets you download apps directly from Google Play Store as apk
files. It can search for updates of installed apps and lets you search for
other apps. The point of Yalp Store is to be small and independent from
Google Services Framework. By default Yalp Store connects to Google
services using a built-in account, so you do not have to own a Google
account to use it. The only reason to use a live Google account is to access
the paid apps you own or leave reviews. So Yalp Store works as a pretty
good replacement for Google Play Store. I think.

About Evie Launcher

Read a complete review of Evie Launcher…
Evie Launcher works very well in RaspAnd Pie.

My new build of Android x86_64 –
andex-x86_64-pie-9.0-aptoide-
netflix-spotify-1610mb-190426.iso
can be installed to hard drive or on a

live. I.e. from a DVD or a USB stick. On
some computers you’ll have to start up
AndEX 9.0 in compatibility mode
(VESA) though. The sound and video
performance is generally very very
good. Yalp Store and Aptoide App Manager work very well in this
build of AndEX Pie. So does the Netflix and Spotify app. I have
unfortunately not been able to install Google Play Store and other
GAPPS. Yalp Store and Aptoide work as good replacements for
Google Play Store though. This new version of AndEX Pie (build
190426) runs somewhat faster and is a bit more responsive than the
“old” version (build 190326) of AndEX Pie. It also runs very well live
in VirtualBox and VMware. The new version looks better too since it
uses Pie Launcher as Desktop environment.

About Yalp Store

Yalp Store lets you download apps directly from Google Play Store as apk
files. It can search for updates of installed apps and lets you search for
other apps. The point of Yalp Store is to be small and independent from
Google Services Framework. By default Yalp Store connects to Google
services using a built-in account, so you do not have to own a Google

the paid apps you own or leave reviews. So Yalp Store works as a pretty
good replacement for Google Play Store. I think.

MORE NEWS 190426 about AndEX Pie 9.0

My new build of Android-x86_64 Pie 9.0 have Yalp Store (see above)
and Aptoide App Manager pre-installed. Also many other apps. For
example: Netflix, Spotify, ES File Explorer, AIDA64 and Firefox.
YouTube works very well in Firefox.

MORE ABOUT AndEX Pie

My new compiled Android-x86_64 system (Pie 9.0) can run and be
installed on almost all newer laptops (and some Desktop computers).
For example Acer (Aspire), HP, Samsung, Dell, Toshiba, Lenovo,
Thinkpad, Fujitsu, Panasonic and Asus laptops. You can (of course)
also run AndEX in VirtualBox and/or VMware. I can also mention
that I could run my new Pie version without problems on a HP
Pavilion 500-317no Desktop Computer. You can very easy do a
manual installation to hard drive. That can also be done to a drive
where you already have another Linux system (for example Ubuntu
19.04) installed. Read more about how to install AndEX Pie at the
main site about AndEX Pie.

NEWS 190419 ABOUT ExTiX

Deepin
I’ve released a new version of ExTiX
Deepin today (190419). This ExTiX
Build is based on Deepin 15.9.3 (not
yet officially released by Deepin
Technology).
NEW FUNCTIONS etc:
1. The ISO has decreased from 1860
MB to 1560 MB, which makes it easier
to run ExTiX from RAM. Use boot
alternative 3 (load to RAM) or
Advanced. A wonderful way to run Linux if you have enough RAM.
Everything will be super fast. When ExTiX has booted up you can
remove the DVD or USB stick.
2. You will have the opportunity to choose language before you enter
the Deepin 15.9.3 Desktop. All main languages are supported.
3. I have replaced Deepin Installer with the Reborn version of Deepin
Installer. Better in every way.
4. I have replaced kernel 5.0.7 with kernel 5.0.8 (5.0.8-extix), which
was released 190417.
NEWS 190416 ABOUT ExTiX Deepin 19.4
I’ve released a new version of ExTiX Deepin today with Refracta
Snapshot and kernel 5.0.7-extix. Deepin 15.9.2 (latest version) is
made in China. Deepin is devoted to providing a beautiful, easy to use, safe
and reliable system for global users. Previous versions of ExTiX Deepin
were based on Debian and Ubuntu. ExTiX 19.4 is a live build of
Deepin 15.9.2 BETA, which is based on Debian unstable. All packages
have been updated to the latest available version as of today. Study
all installed packages in ExTiX Deepin 19.4 Build 190419. So ExTiX
19.4 is based on Deepin 15.9.3 BETA and Debian unstable. I may add
that there is no other live version of Deepin 15.9.3/15.9.2.

Replacement
ExTiX Deepin 19.4 replaces ExTiX 19.0 and ExTiX 18.8.

The Ultimate Linux System

I’ve called my different versions of ExTiX The Ultimate
Linux System for many years by now. As regards ExTiX
19.4 Deepin I feel it’s especially justified. Everything just
works.

Refracta Snapshot
While running ExTiX Deepin 19.4 live or from hard drive you can use
Refracta Snapshot (pre-installed) to create your own live installable
Deepin/Debian system. A ten year child can do it!

SCREENSHOTS
1. ExTiX Deepin 15.9.3 Desktop
2. ExTiX Deepin being installed in VirtualBox using Refracta Installer
3. ExTiX Deepin login screen (LightDM)
4. Movie showing how to enable Window effects
5. ExTiX boot screen when running live

In ExTiX Deepin you can record everything you do. Watch this small

KDE Plasma – a Refracta Build
I have made a new version of DebEX
KDE Plasma Live DVD – efi. It replaces
version 180814. It’s a pure
Debian system.
(Unstable/Experimental). I.e.: There are
no Ubuntu or Kubuntu elements
Created with GIMP
involved. DebEX KDE Plasma uses the
KDE Plasma Desktop 5:14 as Desktop
environment. Kernel 5.0.6-exton (5.0.6) is used. I have replaced Wicd
with NetworkManager. It works better. I have replaced Google
Chrome with Iceweasel 52.9 (for Netflix). I’ve also added SMPlayer –
an alternative to Vlc. (SMPlayer is a free media player for Windows
and Linux with built-in codecs that can play virtually all video and
audio formats. It doesn’t need any external codecs. Just install
SMPlayer and you’ll be able to play all formats without the hassle to
find and install codec packs). All other installed packages have also
been updated to the latest version of 190407. Study the full package
list. MOST IMPORTANT CHANGE: I have replaced Refracta Installer
with Calamares 3.2.4-4 Installer Framework. Now you can choose
language when the installation starts. When it’s ready everything will
be in your chosen language! You can even use Calamares in
VirtualBox and VMware – i.e. non-efi computers if you follow my

NEWS 190331
Yesterday I released my first version of
PuppEX Bionic64. After that I have
discovered a way to install and run
Spotify in PuppEX. So now you can run
YouTube, Netflix and Spotify in the
new PuppEX version of 190331. What
more can one wish for?

ABOUT PuppEX Bionic Build 190331

My newest Puppy derivative is built from Puppy Linux 8.0 BionicPup
64 bit. I have added Google Chrome (for Netflix), PCManFM,
LXTerminal and many development tools. I have also compiled a new
kernel – 5.0.5-puppex. Kernel 5.0.5 is the latest stable kernel
available from Kernel.org as of 190330. Furthermore I have installed
Nvidia’s Proprietary Graphics driver 418.56. The Nvidia driver will be
used if your computer/card is “good/modern” enough. If not
automatically just open up a terminal and run the command nvidia-
xconfig. Then restart X. Note: Firefox can’t be used in Puppy Linux.
You won’t have sound.

PuppEX Bionic64 is compatible with Ubuntu 18.04, which means

that Ubuntu packages for Ubuntu 18.04 can be installed and used in
PuppEX. The PuppEX Bionic ISO is of 827 MB.

Performance
Puppy Bionic64 original is of only 354 MB. PuppEX Bionic64 is
despite this still running as fast as the original, which means it runs
very, very fast compared to most other Linux systems.
(Puppy/PuppEX runs from RAM).

App Manager works very well in this build of AndEX Pie. So does
the Netflix and Spotify app. I have unfortunately not been able to
install Google Play Store and other GAPPS. Aptoide works as a good
replacement for Google Play Store though.

with many nice apps installed. (The apps Popcorn Time,
Mi Home and Racing in Car 2 are not pre-installed).

MORE NEWS 190326 about AndEX Pie 9.0

My new build of Android-x86_64 Pie 9.0 have Aptoide App Manager
pre-installed. Also many other apps. For example: Netflix, Spotify, ES
File Explorer, AIDA64, Firefox, Angry Birds and Clash of Clans.
YouTube works very well in Firefox.

MORE ABOUT AndEX Pie

My new compiled Android-x86_64 system (Pie 9.0) can run and be
installed on almost all newer laptops (and some Desktop computers).
For example Acer (Aspire), HP, Samsung, Dell, Toshiba, Lenovo,
Thinkpad, Fujitsu, Panasonic and Asus laptops. You can (of course)
also run AndEX in VirtualBox and/or VMware. I can also mention
that I could run my new Pie version without problems on a HP
Pavilion 500-317no Desktop Computer. You can very easy do a
manual installation to hard drive. That can also be done to a drive
where you already have another Linux system (for example Ubuntu
18.10) installed. Read more about how to install AndEX Pie below.

Android Pie 9.0 was released 180806.

About YouTube
For some reason the sound in YouTube works (much) better when
running YouTube in Firefox. I.e. compared to when using the
YouTube app. The YouTube app is therefore not pre-installed.

About Facebook
The Facebook app works very well in AndEX. Just go get it with
Aptoide App Manager.

What’s the point?

Well, if you like your Android phone and all the apps you have
installed on it I’m sure you will also like to run apps from your laptop.
Bigger screen and better sound etc. Also: In AndEX Pie Build 190326
many new apps and games can be installed via Aptoide App Manager.
You can even install very big games (of 1GB or so), but unfortunately
almost all such games need a touchscreen. Still not convinced? Then
read my article about “How useful an Androx-x86 system can be for
the average computer user“.

ABOUT RaspEX Kodi

RaspEX Kodi Build
190321 with LXDE/Kodi
Desktops can be downloaded
from SourceForge.net for free.
The system is made especially for the
new Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+, but can
of course also be used on a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B and a Raspberry
Pi 2 Model B. RaspEX Kodi is based on Debian, Raspbian and Kodi
Media Center. In RaspEX Kodi I’ve added the LXDE Desktop with
many useful applications such as VLC Media Player and
NetworkManager. Makes it easy to configure your wireless network.
I’ve also upgraded Kodi to version 18.1 Leia, which makes it possible
to include useful addons such as Netflix, Plex and Amazon Video.
Which I’ve done. Study all included packages in RaspEX Kodi.

Replacements
My first version of RaspEX Kodi from 190124 was a replacement for
RaspEX Kodi with OSMC, which was released 190117. Sam Nazarko
(founder of OSMC) contacted me 190118 claiming that I was
“violating” his rights to the trademark OSMC and the rules in GPLv2.
I don’t think I did, but I’m also very tired. Therefore I made a new
version (190124) of RaspEX Kodi without any traces of OSMC. I
would say that version 190124 and 190321 are as good as the old
one from 190117. I.e. excellent video and sound performance both
in Kodi and LXDE. For version 190124 I charged 9 $. This new version
(190321) can be downloaded for free from SourceForge.net. People
should not refrain from downloading RaspEX Kodi because of the
money issue. I want all Linux and Raspberry Pi enthusiasts to enjoy
the system. It runs very well on a Raspberry Pi. I.e. fast and
responsive.

Kernel
Kernel 5.0.2-raspex-v7+ is used.

RaspEX Kodi performance

RaspEX Kodi is a very fast and responsive Rpi system. Much due to
very low memory (RAM) usage. About 120 MB as this screenshot
shows. I’ve said that RaspEX LXDE Build 181015 is very fast. RaspEX
Kodi is even faster especially if you use the new Raspberry Pi 3 Model
B+ to run it. The video and sound quality is also very very good. Even
while running RaspEX Kodi on big TV screens. I.e. you can really enjoy
Netflix and YouTube running on your Rpi mini computer!
