EXTON OpSuS Tumbleweed Deepin 20.6 respectively LXQt 2.0.0 64 bit UEFI Linux Live DVD/USB - Build 240807, 240801 and 181126 (Build  181126 only for Raspberry Pi 3)

EXTON OpSuS Tumbleweed is based on openSUSE Tumbleweed, which is a rolling distribution. I.e. no need for new installations. Just run the command sudo zypper dup and you will always get the latest stable packages/kernels. The ISO files are of 3630 MB respectively 2510 MB. The LXQt version will thus run very fast from a DVD or a USB stick. Even in VirtualBox/VMware directly from the ISO file.

NEWS ABOUT EXTON OpSuS Deepin 240807
I had to replace EXTON OpSuS Build 240729 with Build 240807, when I "discovered" that no multimedia codes were installed in Build 240729. The same kernel - 6.9.8-amd64-exton - is used when running Build 240807 live. After installation to hard drive you can use the original openSUSE kernel 6.10.3-1-default if you want, but to be able to use Refracta Snapshot you'll have to use "my" kernel 6.9.8-amd64-exton. Watch a screenshot of the "new" Deepin Desktop.

Study all installed packages in Build 240807. 

NEWS ABOUT EXTON OpSuS Build 240729 with the Deepin DE
I've made a new version of EXTON OpSuS with Deepin 20.6 as DE (Desktop Environment). It replaces version 231220, which also had the Deepin DE installed. Version 240729 is a total rebuild of version 231220 with many more openSUSE packages pre-installed. The ISO-file has thus increased from 3290 MB to 3630 MB. I have managed to install Refracta Snapshot, which means that you can completely change the EXTON OpSuS System and then create a new ISO-file. (Your own). Your new openSUSE system will also be Live and installable. A new kernel is used - 6.9.8-amd64-exton. Watch a screenshot when Refracta Snapshot has started. You'll find your new ISO file in /home/snapshot. The whole "remasterprocess" is very simple and quick.
NOTE: While running EXTON OpSuS Build 240729 and 240801 from hard drive you can use openSUSE's original kernel 6.9.9-1.1-default if you want, but to be able to use Refracta Snapshot (in both versions) you'll have to use "my" kernel 6.9.8-amd64-exton.

ABOUT the Deepin Desktop Environment
Deepin DE (made in China!) is devoted to providing a beautiful, easy to use, safe and reliable system for global users. I came to like the Deepin DE very much when I installed it in ExTiX and ArchEX. So I thought why not install the Deepin DE also in EXTON OpSuS?

ABOUT EXTON OpSuS for PC's
EXTON OpSuS Tumbleweed with Deepin 20.6 respectively LXQt 2.0.0 uses kernel 6.9.8-amd64-exton. Installed programs: Among many other programs, Firefox, NetworkManager, GParted and VLC . You'll run the system as the nornal user user. The password for user is live. Root's password is root. EXTON OpSuS can easily be installed to hard drive (of those who so desire). For that you shall use Refracta Installer. All packages have been updated to the latest available version as of August 1, 2024 (the LXQt version) and August 7, 2024 (the Deepin version).
NOTE1 as regards Build 240801:  When the boot process is ready you will end up at SDDM login screen. You can only log in to the LXQt Desktop as user with password live. You will see this first screen when logged in to LXQt.
NOTE2 as regards Build 240801: If you want to run the system as root you shall press Ctrl Alt F1 simultaneously to leave X. Log in as root with password root. Then run the command startx. You will then enter the LXQt 2.0.0 Desktop. When logged in as root you won't have sound.
NOTE3: Version 240801 of EXTON OpSuS can run on really old computers. As an example I could run them on my 17 years old laptop Acer Aspire 5102 WLMi.

NOTE5 as regards Build 240729: There is (possibly) one "bug" in this build. If you after a hard drive installation of EXTON OpSuS can't boot the system there is probably something wrong with the filesystem. You should then boot up another Linux system (from your hard drive or from a USB stick) and run the following commands (examples):
A) sudo fsck /dev/sda6
Possible answer: "/dev/sda6 has unsupported feature(s): FEATURE_C12".
B) Fix it by running this command: tune2fs -O ^metadata_csum_seed /dev/sda6
C) Check the outcome with this command: grub-probe --target=fs --device /dev/sda6
The answer shall/must be: "ext2"

The system language is English.

INSTALLATION of EXTON OpSuS to a USB stick in Windows WITH PERSISTENCE
Use Rufus 4.5 for the installation and be sure to write the ISO file to the USB stick in DD Image mode. Watch this screenshot...
Unfortunately the performance will be a bit slow after such an installation.
