Siduction 2021.2.0 released on its 10th anniversary

The flavors offered with the launch of siduction 2021.2 are KDE Plasma 5.20.5, LXQt 0.16.0-1, Cinnamon 4.8.6.2, Xfce 4.16, Lxde 11.

The released images are a Debian snapshot, named Sid, from 2021-07-28. These bring improvements to some useful packages and scripts, a Calamares-based installer, and a custom patch version of the Linux 5.13.6 kernel and systemd at 247.3-6.

If you want to use wpa_supplicant instead of iwd, follow the steps below:

sudo systemctl stop iwd.service
sudo systemctl mask iwd.service
sudo systemctl stop NetworkManager.service
sudo mv /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/nm.conf /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/nm.conf~
sudo systemctl unmask wpa_supplicant.service
sudo systemctl enable --now wpa_supplicant.service
sudo systemctl start NetworkManager.service

You should now be able to connect your wireless device with wpa_supplicant.

If you want, you can use iwd in the other variants, either alone or in Network-Manager. To easily configure iwd up, follow these steps:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install iwd
sudo systemctl stop wpa_supplicant.service
sudo systemctl mask wpa_supplicant.service
sudo systemctl stop NetworkManager.service
sudo touch /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/nm.conf
sudo echo -e '[device] \ nwifi.backend = iwd'> /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/nm.conf
sudo touch /etc/iwd/main.conf
sudo echo -e '[General] \ nEnableNetworkConfiguration = true \ n \ n [Network] \ nNameResolvingService = systemd'> /etc/iwd/main.conf
sudo systemctl enable --now iwd.service
sudo systemctl start NetworkManager.service
