NuTyX

tnut · 06-30-2021, 09:40 AM

I'm going to shut down the NuTyX project.

The domain name will end on November 28, 2021.

I wish to thanks all the people who inspire me and support me in this project.

If you were a NuTyX user's, I'm sure they are a lot of distribution to switch to. Don't ask me which one, I can't answer you.

After almost 14 years, I guess it's time for me to remove the plug ..

What, just like that?
I spent 5min trying to find what lead to this, mailing list messages maybe, can't find anything.
It's very abrupt, yes? And a one person decision?

I know at least one user here who will be disappointed.

Finally I decide to continue.

So much efforts in so many years makes it impossible to quit for me.

As it is impossible for me to switch to anything else.

They are no other distributions with all this features I build into NuTyX. But I guess I'm the only one who really knows that.

Ok, good to hear.

Edit: still can be downloaded on sourceforge

tnut · 07-03-2021, 07:26 AM

At the moment, I propose a BASE 21.07.2 testing branch ISO :

I did use it briefly on my laptop. I was intrigued by the notion of installing a Linux distribution alongside an existing system just by running a shell script in the latter, which was one of the available options at that time. And I did some work on their documentation because I have always enjoyed turning "English as she is spoken" into proper English. That's a hangover from my refugee background. But I haven't used NutyX for some time now.

But still "dormant" or "inactive" on distrowatch

tnut · 07-21-2021, 03:12 AM

I know.
I send already a mail.

I did send a mail already but I didn't get any answer.
Will try again

Thanks for reminding me

I keep an up to date NuTyX install on one of my many partitions, as I find it to be a unique and interesting distro.

I went looking to see if it was really going to end, and found this. Happy to find that, for now at least, it will continue. So thanks tnut and anyone else that keeps the NuTyX ball rolling! I may not use it as an everyday driver, but it sure is a worthwhile endeavor.

I love this distro, I Love hearing that you're not quitting!
I installed it on a 2012 macbook using the GNOME shell, and it runs like a dream. I haven't seen any other distribution that can do this with such ease of use. Keep up the good work!

Thanks a lot MeCrumbly429 for your support. Spiky and me, we do continue indeed. The domain name is renew now for another year at least.

We prepare the next major release with some new interested features that will make the installation even more easier and safe.

Best regards,
Spiky and Thierry
