There's different ways of updating your Elive: Suggestion: just reinstall newer versions in upgrade mode elive-upgrader: This included and own tool takes care about everything, you don't even need to worry or use it, from time to time, your system will be updated with fixes and improvements apug:…

I agree with @triantares Gui to manage updates and short description of which component is doing / responsible for what

Well not just updates. Entering "elive-" and hitting TAB key gives: elive-audio-fixes elive-donations-support elive-help elive-news elive-run-file-helper elive-skel elive-upgrader elive-autostart-applications eli…

Check out "Aptik" (it's an GUI application)

[image] Rebel450: (it's an GUI application) Like in "vlc", "mplayer", "synaptic" and my "elive-tools-gui" proposal ..... I am infinitely aware that a GUI can never contain all the options and fine- tuning the commandline does. But a GUI allowing a user to click through a lot of basic setting…

As a "user" (I hate that term - makes me sound like an addict) - I would agree with @triantares .

Mandrake Control Center eventually morphed into Mageia Control Center and looks some thing like this now: [image] An excellent manner of showing new users the power that they hold, instead of forcing them to rummage around the system for all sorts of obscure config options. I think it's somethin…

Definitely yes. As I mentioned earlier, this could be worth a thought for @Thanatermesis , methinks :grin: [image] About The idea of Calamares arose from a desire of several independent Linux distributions to come together and work on a shared system installer. Instead of everyone worki…

[image] Rebel450: About - Calamares Nice idea but why do they use Qt5 if they want to be distro agnostic? Try "api -s calamares" and you'll see what I mean. It almost brings along the whole shebang of KDE libraries.:eyepopping: Using GTK3 interface (or even just TKinter, seeing it's in pyth…
