Hey, the frankenpup64 1.4 beta is coming Soon™, (follow the github for more info on 
release dates) some updates from 1.3: - xfce4 instead jwm - full NetworkManager support (thru nm-applet) - full media hotplug detection. - 2 nvidia private driver modes: nvidia gpu as primary rendering device or prime
render offload (thru vulkan) - better EFI compatibility on newer laptops (2020+) - no more devx_xxx.sfs, now all the dev packages and additional sofwate can be
installed using finstall (ppm deprecated) - removed ancient and obselete drivers from the puppy init scripts. - better firmware database. - lots of stability updates. - working bluetooth stack. the realease date is kinda hard to get since i'm trying really hard to get
everything done without breaking the system or making the distro unstable.

Took me a dammn while to get wcpufreq to work on my i7 with intel_pstate
but here we are, it should work on any "iX" processor

wcpufreq

the intel_pstate driver was pretty straightforward on my machine:
- powersaver
- performance

and wcpufreq didn't liked that and insisted on using the old way of freq 
scaling. With this small set of changes it should actually work on the newer 
intel CPUs and won't try to load stupid shit like the amd_freq_sensitivity 
driver (duh)

wine staging + vulkan loader + vkd3d first stable release


This release is a working wine 5.6, commit 5e75310837e5ec77ebc361d689ea3279fa49ebac 
with custom patches:

    staging-44d1a45-localreverts.patch:
    -> changes to 0079-ntdll-server-Revert-to-old-implementation-of-hung-qu patch
    media_foundation_alpha.patch
    ->commented out the whole dlls/ntdll/debugtools.c patch since it's currently 
      applied by wine staging (0001-libwine-Add-process-specific-debug-channels.patch)
    fsync-to-latest-ntdll.patch
    -> server_select() now takes 5 arguments instead of 4

This release includes:
-wine + wine-staging
-game related patches (via proton-ge-custom/patches)
-vkd3d (wine dx12 implementation for vulkan)
-vulkan headers + spirv headers
-vulkan loader
-spirv tools
-gstreamer + plugins base + plugins good + deps


should work on any puppy or puppt based distro, but be aware i'm using
Glibc-2.31 and i believe wine ntdll may throw a fit on older versions.

Bethesda Launcher linux helper script


This is a small "helper" script to handle files wine won't give access
to the Bethesda Launcher since it was stupid to change them manually
on every launcher update, game updateor game install.
