I have decided to delay PostX Gnu/Linux release to be at the end of December. It´s better to tune the features to their peak rather than do a too early release. The previous having said, there is a new filemanager coming soon. This will likely be the default on the upcoming distribution release. Here is a development screenshot.
Still in development quality code of Spin FM will be released during the next weekend.

PostX Gnu/Linux 0.8 will be coming in October. It will be based on Debian 11. Starting from 0.8 the plan is to make more regular releases and enhance the upgrade schedule. This means that release building will be more scripted and automated than before.
I recently upgraded one of my Linux boxes from Debian 10 to 11.
Did the usual: Looked at the release notes and changed sources.list entries and finalized with apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade.
After this, everything once done and I rebooted my computer for a good measure.
When the new system was up, all C++ based programs worked but python programs had issues.
I noticed that some packages had gone missing (or more likely) were removed during the upgrade to solve conflicts. Pyqt5 was not there and this needed to be fixed. Here is how the situation was remedied:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get reinstall python3-qt5* && apt-get install python-minimal
Lastly, I noticed that the linkage from python3 to python was gone. I fixed that with:
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/python3 /usr/local/bin/python
Now all was good and functional. Keep in mind that depending on your existing package configurations, your experience might be different.
New version of RunIT Browser(Python+QT5) has been released.
I added the following functionalities to this release:
This release also fixes some minor stability and functionality issues.
Here is a screenshot.
