Moving to Debian
Hi.
I currently running KXStudio on Elementary (which is based on Ubuntu LTS). And apparently everything works fine.
I'm thinking to change to Debian (just curious)... Anyone have KXStudio on Debian here? How it works?
I'm also used to the process of updrade Ubuntu to KXStudio, With Debian will be similar? This (http://kxstudio.sourceforge.net/Documen ... ry:Upgrade) will work too?
Thanks.

Re: Moving to Debian
'iceweasel' is not older than 'firefox' by definition - 'iceweasel' is simply a renamed version of 'firefox' because Mozilla has some trademark restrictions on that name that Debian is not willing to accept.falkTX wrote:It's not as smooth as Ubuntu - no firefox for example, you get old iceweasel instead.
Indeed the version of iceweasel/firefox in jessie is kind of old (24.4), but I've been happily running the 29.0 version from 'experimental' for a while now on my mostly-jessie system .

Re: Moving to Debian
You could even use mozilla.debian.net instead experimental, to get the latest 30.er iceweasel version.
On the road again.

Running Debian SID on two machines with XFCE desktop and Liquorix kernel. No problems at all!

I know Chromium as Chrome browser without Google.skavar wrote:Try Opera web browser, basically Chrome browser without Google.
Opera is closed source as far I know, non-free . .

Re: Moving to Debian
running debian jessie on a pc and a laptop here with kde and kxstudio. no problems at all. an absolute pleasure to dump all the ubuntu cruft.
Re: Moving to Debian
Just out of curiosity why do folks use the Liquorix kernel?
Looking at the benchmarks on the Phoronix site there doesn't seem to be much difference between the Liquorix kernel and the standard kernel.
Is Liquorix preferable to installing the linux-image-rt-amd64 package?

Re: Moving to Debian
I also am running KXStudio on a Debian 7.6 (wheezy) system, primarily for recording and PA of services.
Jack and Ardour work beautifully.
I do have a question of my own. I have a laptop with wheezy/kxstudio and I'm thinking of upgrading it from wheezy to jessie.
Do I continue to use the same kxstudio repositories, or do I need to change anything before doing the upgrade?
Many thanks,
Bob
