        Forum Email responses were not working properly; I hadn’t received any since July 2, once I looked closely.
        Our Website admin took care of the problem and it appears to be working once again.

          Forum Email is now flowing freely thanks to peregrine, our antiX Forum software administrator.

          With that, here’s another Perl development system information tool (the development version is called pinxi; the released version is simply inxi):

                I’m using a Liquorix kernel here again today, and this kernel is regularly updated. Our antiX kernels are very good, and are particularly well suited to aging computers. What Liquorix kernels provide is a versatile kernel well suited to interactive use, and for the gamers (I’m NOT among them), you may find the Liquorix kernel to be particularly useful too. In any case, I’ve found these kernels to be good for many years now.

                    Woo hoo! I picked up an inexpensive tp-link AC600 high gain wireless dual band USB adapter, and now this adapter is recognized when booting from the previously created image that I used to install antiX-21-runit_x64-full Grup Yorum on my Dell Inspiron 5558 laptop; now I can run it on my Acer Aspire 5 Model A515-55 too!

                    When I reported this, I did not realize that when I booted the antiX 21 image, by default the 4.9 kernel was coming up. While I could detect the USB and load it, unless I selected a 5.* kernel, in this case the 5.10 kernel, it wouldn’t work with Wifi, with or without the USB dongle antenna, but with the 5.10 image, I didn’t actually need the antenna, as it turns out; it was the 5.10 or later kernel I needed in order for Wifi to work, whereas on the Dell Inspiron 5558, it’s the exact opposite; the 4 series kernels work and the 5.10 kernel experiences some of the same issues that others have reported, though curiously enough, other 5 series kernels work fine on that hardware too.

                    Either way, for me, I’ve found working antiX kernels for all of my different systems now and I’ve been really happy, because that means I can use antiX on all of my systems where Linux can be installed.

                        https://smxi.org/docs/inxi.htm is the inxi site. It describes “inxi :: a full featured system information script”.
                        https://github.com/smxi/inxi – “inxi-perl is the dev branch, the others are rarely if ever used. inxi itself has
                        the built in feature to be able to update itself from anywhere, including these
                        branches, which is very useful for development and debugging on various user
                        systems.”

                        “PACKAGERS: inxi has one and only one ‘release’, and that is the current
                        commit/version in the master branch (plus pinxi inxi-perl branch, of course, but
                        those should never be packaged). ”

                        Here is where you can actually obtain pinxi:

                        ——————————————————————————–
                        DEVELOPMENT BRANCH
                        ——————————————————————————–

                        All active development is now done on the inxi-perl branch (pinxi):

                        git clone https://github.com/smxi/inxi --branch inxi-perl --single-branch

                        OR direct fast and easy install:

                        wget -O pinxi https://github.com/smxi/inxi/raw/inxi-perl/pinxi

                        OR easy to remember shortcut (which redirects to github):

                        wget -O pinxi https://smxi.org/pinxi
                        wget -O pinxi smxi.org/pinxi

                        Once new features have been debugged, tested, and are reasonably stable, pinxi
                        is copied to inxi in the master branch.

                          By the way, my longtime development friend h2 is the developer of both inxi and pinxi, the development branch of inxi.
                          He may stop by here from time to time; in fact, if you look through our forum history, I think he explained these things a while ago too.

                            I don’t think I’d put it that way, re my developing both pinxi and inxi, pinxi becomes next inxi, it rolls along that way endlessly. Whenever the features being worked on actively in pinxi are stable and working and have been tested hopefully (though this is often optimistic) enough, pinxi is literally copied over to inxi, pinxi.1 man file is copied to inxi.1 man file, and pinxi.changelog is copied over to inxi.changelog, and then we have a new inxi.

                            In other words, I don’t develop inxi at all, I only develop pinxi, pinxi.1, and pinxi.changelog, which once stable are copied to the master branch as inxi bits, and committed, but I technically almost never work on inxi itself, unless I’m fixing a typo, but with my new release.pl tool, I actually now almost never touch inxi at all, quite literally it’s not touched, the release.pl does all the updates etc, and then I commit that once it’s passed the release.pl pre-release tests. I used to work on inxi a tiny bit, like copying pinxi to it manually, and maybe editing a typo, but now I don’t do any of that anymore, it’s much easier to release and correct issues, it’s always pinxi > inxi now. So technically I work on pinxi, period, and I release inxi, but don’t work on it, if that makes sense.

                            Because of the increasing complexity of some features, I recently did a suite of release and pre-release perl tools, which live in inxi-perl/tools/, and also I did and do more releases of the core inxi data which is required to make it work and debug it etc, which now live in inxi-perl/data/, which both are also reflected in inxi-perl/docs/ which is more granular now. pinxi > inxi is getting a lot more complicated to work on, though the code is easier by the year as I do upgrades, but the overall conceptual complexity is getting to be a lot more… daunting… but all the recent tools, data releases, etc, were all designed to make it less daunting and less error prone, those seem to be working roughly as intended.

                            Barring tiny edits right at release, this is the only update inxi ever sees. Part of this comes from my detesting how git treats branches, and the horror of ‘merging’ branches, so I skip all of that, and literally copy pinxi to inxi, then commit that change to git master branch. This also results in my being always able to in real time test pinxi against inxi to confirm that I didn’t break something. I used this feature a lot during this pinxi cycle since I was working on some bugs and oddities and had to keep comparing pinxi output to inxi 3.3.21 output to make sure I hadn’t broken anything and that the fix had actually fixed the issue, not broken it worse.

                            I personally honestly do not even understand how people work on git branch based stuff when the changes get really massive, which pinxi changes almost always do, sometimes one single next inxi might change 10-20% of the entire codebase.

                                  BTW, h2, some of that information that I put in that post earlier was directly copied from the sites cited in what I posted. I *thought* it was the official site; if I’m wrong, then that explains the discrepancies; if it is the correct site though, it’s either out of context or now well out of date; it might be worth checking on it; if it’s someone else’s site, THEY should fix their inaccuracies. As far as the DEFINITIVE source, I definitely know that is YOU, so thank you for your thorough and complete explanation; I knew I could count on you and I appreciate your attention to accuracy and detail.
