Information on NoblePup64 Alpha Development

@bigpup

The latest post here was to an announcement that Noble Numbat had been released official by Canonical

@bigpup

The topic heading and 'strikethrough' text are misleading.

This should be titled as a work in progress, alpha etc.

Strikethrough text means the issues have been redacted and have been resolved.

Save your bandwith and time

@Jasper
Thanks for your advice.
I am just interested in Noble-based puppy. And I was wondering whether the development would be continued.

IdfbAn's version was created in February. Ubuntu Noble must have undergone many changes since then. It is natural that noblepup64-10.0-alpha2 uses an older version of glibc.
If an iso is created with the same recipe now, an improved version may appear. But of course I am not in a position to tell someone to continue the development.

The development of this release would have been a month (or two) before the official release.

So a few more updates provided in March 2024.

The ISO offering here clearly did not have the packages functioning as both you and I had mentioned already.

It requires bug hunting and attention.

It's a shame as you have already carried out some localisation of the OS.

In the interim, there is a 32bit release by Peebee.

Could you use this?

It is OK with me. I have made a language pack, and it is applicable to any variant of NoblePup64 with slight changes.
It is for my private use now. When the development of the OS is complete, I will publish the language pack.

p.s.
I prefer a 64bit version. Fewer and fewer browsers are available on 32bit linux.

The Noble has already been recommended here.

It is requested to be a community edition (CE) Pup. I agree that efforts toward such occurs.

Would be nice to join in there and contribute for a future 64bit there to get things moving on this LTS PUP distro.
