this is Palemoon 32.1.0 perfectly rendering Github: https://we.tl/t-SJAQ01bBET
Good to know.
i already made my 32.1.0 module, but had not saved all private tabs that are currently open and that will be lost when i just quit PM to deactivate the old and activate the new module.

Since currently I have some time to spare so I work on just that. :)
Cheers!

Vivaldi sounds nice.
Is it possible to have a dark mode so that all web pages are dark / night mode while still ll elements are visible and useable?

@spa_time, which Intel graphics card don't work? And what exactly you mean by 'not working'?
New graphics cards are working very well..just some old graphics cards like Intel Co. 82945G
kernel driver i915..and another little problem..some wifi usb adapters are working only after changing usb port..anyway
appreciations for PorteuX..hope see it on Distrowatch...

What is the main advantage of PorteuX over Porteus 5.0 ?
Is it worth switching at all?

Only if you like it more than the other system. If not then the answer is no.

@roro, PorteuX added more performance and more up-to-date applications (including desktop environments) when compared to Porteus 5. Also, new releases happen in a much shorter period of time. I would say overall is a more audacious work, including the removal of some features, like 32bit packages, network boot and legacy applications like polyglot. You can see the whole changelog in the release page: https://github.com/porteux/porteux/releases

Of course, in the end it's a matter of personal preference. :)

PorteuX: big disadvantage

There are no language files (core_locales, xfce4_locales)

only English! Why?
