c64pine-3.24.2-x86_64.iso: a complete system on Alpine Linux 3.24. Write it to a USB stick (dd or Rufus "DD image", not Ventoy), boot it (legacy BIOS or UEFI, Secure Boot off), log in as root and run c64-install. It erases the disk you choose.

c64pine-live-3.24.2-x86_64.iso: boots straight into the desktop; the INSTALL icon installs it. Write it with dd too.

On an existing Linux (Debian/Ubuntu, Arch, Fedora, Alpine): run the installer again to update; your settings and icons stay.

New since 1.0

  • Multiple displays: the desktop sits on the primary display, every other display gets its own C64 border and blue screen. Tiling works on the display the window is on.
  • New icons: a 1541 drive (DRIVE 8, install), a new globe, floppy, folder and more.
  • vfetch shows the Commodore logo on every distribution, not just Alpine.
  • 1366x768 and similar modes now get their exact width in the resolution switcher.
  • Wallpapers: dark pictures keep a solid black background (no more brown dots).
  • C64 LIBRARY finds games named like archive.org's Wizard_of_Wor_1983_Commodore.d64.
  • C64 software loads in warp speed, then runs at normal speed.

Tested: the ISOs install and boot in QEMU (BIOS). Not yet tested on real hardware.
