"Window Maker Live is a Debian-based desktop distro built around the classic Window Maker X11 window manager. As the "Live" in its name suggests, it's designed as a live-bootable image that's ready to use, with a rich variety of pre-installed software, carefully chosen and themed to fit in with Window Maker's NeXTstep-style look. Like many other Debian-based distros, this new version is based on this year's Debian 13 release, but with a difference:"
"There hasn't been a new release of Window Maker since then - you can tell it's a slow-moving project from the fact that it's been in development since 1997 and hasn't gotten to version 1.0 yet. Hurrah for zero-based versioning. But there has been a new major release of Debian - Debian 13 "Trixie," which took the drastic step of dropping a separate 32-bit kernel for x86-32 machines. It can still run 32-bit apps, but to install Debian 13, you must have a 64-bit computer."
Window Maker Live 13.2 is a Debian-based live-bootable distribution centered on the Window Maker X11 window manager and themed to emulate NeXTstep. The image includes a curated selection of pre-installed software and optional GNUstep applications that recreate NeXTstep's vertical stacked menus and detachable toolbars. Unlike most Debian-derived distributions, Window Maker Live 13.2 provides an i686 32-bit ISO and makes the 32-bit build the default, despite Debian 13 'Trixie' dropping a separate 32-bit installer and kernel. The project remains slow-moving with long development cycles since 1997 and retains classic X11 workflows for legacy hardware.
