TrixiePup64 is available in legacy X11 and modern Wayland desktop variations, both of which are community-built operating systems based on Puppy Linux and Debian.
The legacy X11 version of TrixiePup64 retains the familiar appearance and usability of traditional Puppy Linux based on the X.Org display server, JWM window manager and RoxFiler desktop. This release will resonate with long-time users of the legacy JWM/ROX desktop.
The modern Wayland desktop variant features the wlroots-based Labwc desktop compositor, SFWbar taskbar, and versatile SpaceFM for desktop and file management. This release also includes Xwayland (a minimal X server) which runs under Wayland as a compatibility interface for native X11 applications. The hybrid integration of two distinct display server protocols provides convenient support for running Wayland and X11 applications simultaneously.
The above Legacy and Wayland variants of TrixiePup64 are available for download below.
