There are new images of Sparky 8.1 Release Candidate ARM64 available for testing.
The new images of ARM64 are set with Openbox window manager and CLI (text mode); no ARMHF images any more. The new images are based on and fully compatible with Debian 13 Trixie.
Sparky 8 ARM64 can be installed on Raspberry Pi 3+.
Known issues:
– Wi-Fi can be disabled. To manually fix that run:
sudo rfkill unblock wifi
sudo nmcli radio wifi on
Then connect to your Wi-Fi network via the network manager gui or via ‘nmtui’ command.
New images can be downloaded from the Download SparkyLinux stable page.
