Here is a mandatory screenshot. Remember to read the release notes in detail. There might be small manual adjustments you need to make. Also, at the end of this post there is a part that you should run as a script, to fix some issues that came apparent after this release. These issues will be addressed in future builds.

Important0: Spin-FM/sfm no trash found: mkdir -p .local/share/Trash/files
Keyboard is not a fixed entity and thus its numbering will move upon fresh install. This will do harm to osd. Here is a fix for it.
sudo apt install evtest #Install evtest
sudo evtest #Find your keyboard
sudo nano /usr/share/osd.py #Open osd.py
KEYBOARD_DEVICE = “/dev/input/event4” #Modify the number to match the device number of keyboard.
Exit Openbox and login again.
Important2: Fix for sources and troublesome firmware. Save the script below, for example, script.sh. Then do sudo bash script.sh and run it. It will fix the sources list and remove a troublesome firmware. Notice that Nvidia part is only needed when Lightdm or other X resources are stopped and you are actually installing Nvidia proprietary from nvidia.com

# Script to remove raspi-firmware, purge Debian Nvidia drivers, and set up sources for Nvidia and non-free firmware
# 2. Remove Debian Nvidia drivers if present - needed only when using proprietary drivers from nvidia.com #echo "Removing Debian's Nvidia drivers..." #sudo apt-get remove --purge -y nvidia*
# 3. Overwrite the apt sources list with the new repositories echo "Overwriting the apt sources list..."

Which for now, has some source materials in it. When release is done, I will also likely release the PostX Gnu/Linux building script. In these days it is good to share. And of course, after more than a decade of Debian I am considering to go ahead and building something else for awhile, maybe OpenSuse derivative is on the horizon. Whatever the future holds, PostX Gnu/Linux will stay active on Debian side and will see an increase on automated builds(currently working on it), which means easier and more predictable times of release.
