I'll spin up a VM sometime this week - assuming I can make time. That's an unusual grouping of software, so it should be interesting. If any show-stopping bugs appear, I'll try to let you know - unless you monitor it yourself.

Nope just upgraded Expirion KDE Plasma on 16 Oct again with new Xanmod Kernel 6.0.2 it had the 5.19.15 kernel so it is just a minor upgrade
Sorry, I put in a "whoops - spotted new kernel", and posted, but it did not come up, curious.

BTW can you do me a favour and tell me what version of libglib2.0-0 they use? I am guessing around 2.66.8-1 , like other Debians and MX-21.
Reason I ask is that with 'buntu-based distros they are about to release distros with 2.74 series and that buggers up Timeshift gui. TIA.

That is correct my Expirion says 2.66.8-1 - shot from Synaptic Package Manager
Much obliged for the info. I'll download a couple of the new DE isos.
