EXTON OpSuS Tumbleweed LXQt
2.2.0-1.1 64 bit UEFI Linux Live
System with Refracta Snapshot ::
Build 250515
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 file is of
3070 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.
ABOUT Tumbleweed
With Tumbleweed you don't have to
take difficult decisions about
things you value, either freedom
or safety, either control or
security, technology or stability
-- Tumbleweed lets you have your
cake and eat it too. READ

NOTE ABOUT EXTON OpSuS Deepin from
240807
The Deepin DE is no longer
maintained by openSUSE due
to packaging policy violations
and various security issues.
I have therefore deleted the ISO
file from 240807, which used Deepin
20.6 as Desktop Environment.
ABOUT EXTON OpSuS for PC's
EXTON OpSuS Tumbleweed with LXQt
2.2.0-1.1 uses kernel 6.14.6-amd64-exton.
Installed programs: Among many other
programs, Firefox, NetworkManager,
GParted and VLC . You'll run the
system as the normal 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 May
15, 2025.
NOTE1: 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: 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 2.2.0
Desktop. When logged in as root you
won't have sound. Watch a screenshot
of the Desktop for root.
NOTE3: Version 250515 of
EXTON OpSuS can run on really old
computers. As an example I could run
it on my 17 years old laptop Acer
Aspire 5102 WLMi.
NOTE4: Use
Refracta
Snapshot to build your very
own version of EXTON
OpSuS/openSUSE.
The system language is English.
Installation
of EXTON OpSuS from a USB stick
(or DVD) to hard drive
Both EXTON OpSuS versions use
Refracta Installer. I could not make
Calamares Installer work like in
previous versions of EXTON OpSuS.
Watch a screenshot when Refracta
Installer has started...
Network connections in EXTON
OpSuS
Use Yast2.
To find out the names of your Network
Interfaces run the command iwconfig.
If you use a wired connection you will
be connected automatically.
Wireless
connections
Use YaST
Control
Center - screenshot.
Or just click on the
NetworkManager-applet on the panel to
the right and choose your Network.
Watch this screenshot
or this
one as regards Build 250515. You
may have to edit
/etc/resolv.conf to get connected to
the Internet. Add nameserver
8.8.8.8 on the last line.
How to enable SWAP
If you use EXTON OpSuS on a computer
with low RAM
you may want to use a SWAP
partition. Enable it with this command
(example):
sudo swapon /dev/sda6 - watch
this screenshot...
Using Samba
You can connect to your Windows
computers in your Home Network using
this command as root: smbclient
\\\\192.168.0.38\\LINUX -U arne
NOTE1: This is an example of
course. LINUX is my shared
folder on one of my computers. arne
is my login name on my Windows
computer. You'll find your correct
IP-address by running the command ipconfig
on your Windows computer. Watch a screenshot
when the Samba command is running. You
can transfer files between your
computers using the command get
and put.
NOTE2: In Build 250515 you can
use the file manager PCManFM
for your Samba connections. Connect to
one of your computers in your home
network with (example) smb://192.168.0.38

Is EXTON OpSuS LXQt Build 250515
unique?
If you have a look at openSUSE's
official Download site you can
see that there is no live LXQt
version available. EXTON OpSuS Build
250515 is most certainly UNIQUE
in one respect. There is no other
distro based on openSUSE containing Refracta
Snapshot!
