Okay a bit distraction from Gcam. Sorry for off-topic but I need help of you all to grow my community so sharing here. No worries though, I am and hopefully would be as dedicated to Gcam modding as I have been before. But yeah, it's a new content of mine I'd be sharing here now and hopefully for once only. Meanwhile I would release Camstellar 4.0 shortly and I am working on Gcam 8.2 as well.
Presenting Greatness Slax!
Wondering what that even is? Well it's a Linux Distro. Well, a modded one. Technically almost all linux distros are modded on top of another. I have used components of Debian and Slax Linux as a basement for my very own distro.
Why Greatness Slax? Before that, let's start about Slax Linux. It's a distro by Tomas Matejicek. He always thought about running a Linux Distro right from a pen drive as if it's installed on it instead of like a bootable one. On his last release dating from 2019, he rebased this distro on top of Debian.
Although that was a mini, portable distro, because of excessive minimalism, it became quite inconvenient to use. He hasn't updated since but he has a tool called linux live kit which does help us create distros like this. I did use that but since the tool isn't quite stable, it had issues with booting. That made me use booting scripts from Slax Linux and finally, my own customized, convenient, adequate distro is made with boot scripts from Slax and thus it's named Greatness Slax.
How to install: Installation is quite easy. Just open/mount the .iso file and copy all of its contents to the main/root directory of any USB Drive/Memory Card. Open slax/boot/bootinst.bat if on Windows or execute the bootinst.sh shell if on Linux. Give admin access if on Windows or execute as root if on Linux. Boom. You are done. Now you can boot into Greatness Slax when starting your PC from boot menu. All contents will be stored inside the slax directory and you can use the usb drive for other purposes without any hassle. NTFS/FAT32 or any other Linux formatting are supported. 4GB free space is recommended.
You can use it from VM too. Just add the iso as optical drive to the virtual machine.
When booting to Greatness Slax, you can choose to boot in 3 modes:
1. Persistent Mode- All the changes you make shall be preserved. You will feel like you are simply dual booting however all the changes you make are only stored in the pen drive.
2. Copy to RAM- Greatness Slax will run from your RAM.
3. Fresh Start- Start from the beginning with no changes stored.
Basic Specifications:
1. OS- Debian 9 Stretch based.
2. Architecture- x86_64
3. Desktop Environment- XFCE4
Benefits-
1. Easy to use and beginner friendly
2. Based on debian so you can install applications easily with apt terminal or synaptic package manager
3. Extremely Lightweight yet customizable
4. Portable and safe
Rest are better kept unspoiled. Try and discover on your own!

Initial Version of Gcam 8.2 by Greatness
39%
Final Version of Greatness 7.3
Also any of you are interested in making an icon for the about section (where information about developers, credits etc. are given) of my Gcam 8.2?
The requirements are:
1. Must have Gcam/Camera as a theme and the text "Greatness" to say the least
2. Must be submitted here in svg format
3. Must have a clear background
You all can submit here in group @greatnessicon. There, you must submit your svg uncompressed as a file. Refrain from any other talks.
The one whose icon would be finalized would be credited inside the app. He would get the first app 24 hours earlier than public release. But remember that any inclusion of credit is strictly forbidden. No monetary exchange is allowed on this matter.

Once again we need volunteers for translating Important Things of Gcam 8.2 to your own language. Here is the link: http://greatness.oneskyapp.com. We have removed useless phrases, only required strings are there. It won't take much time for you guys I believe.
You might see weird "\n"(backward slash n) in start of some sentences. It means a new line(paragraph) is started. Please try to keep this in your translations too. Before using apostrophe ('), please use a backward slash too. For example,
Gcam\'s HDR is Awesome!
If you do not find your language available there, just comment here.

Eid Mubarak to everyone! It's a festival we celebrate with everyone, share sweets, visit others' houses and enjoy together. We can't do it virtually but let the spirits spread. No matter what religion you follow or not, it's a day I want everyone to be happy. I don't want to go to political matters but whatever is happening in Palestine concerns me a lot, you don't need to be a Muslim to look at it. You just need to be a human to protest for their rights and saving the innocent people. Let's pray for Palestine and hope for a better world. We shall be releasing initial version of 8.2 today.
