I did the Unthinkable-Installed Linux on a NTFS3 Partition.
It is NTFS3 which is not allowed under Debian.
I would report to you if the attempt is successful.
This is a good lesson to Manjaro who cannot count the number of EXT4 partitions in my NUC.
This is also a lesson to Omarchy which cannot coexist with other Linux distributions.
All these jobs are done with PYTHON and Python must be a must for computer addicts.
Yes, it is a success and even Debian now reads the NTFS files.
This is all done by Gnoppix.
I can remember Original Knoppix in spite of using Reifers file system could extend the partition in the USB to NTFS, if I wanted.
It went dormant in 1991 and my old Knoppix USBs cannot boot on my NUC.
It is revising Original Knoppix but through Debian Base.
It comes from Singapore.
It let me configure WiFi on live session but when installed it would configure only the Ethernet which I do not use and by doing so, asking contribution of money for additional services to which I will not contribute.
I was and I am totally against their AI policy which probably Microsoft is using (that is why NTFS3 is supported) with their copilot snooze on Linux users.
DO NOT Use it.
Do not sign with them.
Shun it like scrapies or leprosy.
However, it has ton of Linux applications including Synaptic Package Manager and is is good for a newbie to learn what is in store in Linux.
KDE version is huge but XFCE version is light in applications.
Installation is awfully slow.
Why I do not know.
This distribution works on /Root Permission which is dangerous.
Gparted does not work on installation.
A single packages can be removed when running.
Guy who produced this may have worked with Gnome Team and Mark Shuttleworth but he has forgotten Golden Rules of Linux.
I am erasing it NOW.
Only thing that came out of Gnoppix Saga is I got to know there is something called NTFS3.
That is the Minimum Knowledge about Windows, I have now.
I am back to normal.

LaTeX
LaTeX is not proprietary, but a free, open-source software distributed under the LaTeX Project Public License (LPPL).
It is available to use for free, with no license fees, and can be supported by donations.
Origin
TeX, the original typesetting system, was created by Donald Knuth and released under an open-source license.
LaTeX, a macro package built on TeX, was later developed by Leslie Lamport and is also free software.
Licensing
The LPPL is a free software license that is compatible with the Debian Free Software Guidelines (DFSG).
While the LPPL is not compatible with the GNU General Public License (GPL), it requires modified files to be clearly distinguishable from the originals to prevent "dependency hell".
Availability
LaTeX is available for most operating systems and is included in many TeX distributions. You can download and use it without paying for a license.
Support
The developers invite users who are satisfied with LaTeX to support its maintenance and development through donations to the TeX Users Group
Debian 14 (Forky) - Tit Bits
Forky has lot of nice things.
Thank You.
But it is still Bit Unstable.
It cannot handle multi tasks as is by Trixie. But after some automatic UPDATES it seem to perform well with File Manager with some cool effects.
I use several File Mamgers and I am not sure the changes are application based or kernel basedd.
When I cut and paste a Linux Image it gives a running grsphic commentary so that I do not log out or switch off while task is not finished which I occasionally do.
I am back to normal and no outstanding jobs one week before December. I think I can have a cool December ( it is summer here and little rain was a welllcome change.
It hangs on multi tasks since it reacts instantly to even my keyboard lapses by ether freezing or closing the Firefox.
I am a multi tasking guy and that is why I use Linux.
Few things, I noticed.
It starts from the left bottom hand corner.
It used to from top where my I focuses of automatically.
File manager is streamlined but finding thrash took some time.
Going for Thrash and emptying is one of my automatic responses to keep my home folder empty of unnecessary files.
Left hand corner panel is almost frozen and one has to drag the right hand corner a long stretch to get it expanded.
Most of the functions are dedicated to right and left hand mouse clicks which a bit different to the old habits.
I do not look at the mouse but concentrate on the keyboard since I am not a touch typist.
I am a KO KO (Ko Ko is where where in Ceylonese Sinhala vernacular) typist and still look at the keys.
I won't switch my long books to forky until they are ready to be published and only for save keeping.
I work on AbiWord and LibreOffice which is 28.2 may have many other chages in features for no valid reason.
One should not change some thing working even in a new edition of Linux.
That is the bottom line.
