Supported host systems

Customizer works on these host systems. In general, Customizer supports host system running any Unix and Unix-like operating systems (Linux, BSD).

Tested host system

• Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid) 32-bit -- End of life, Unsupported
• Xubuntu 12.04 (Precise) 32-bit
• Xubuntu 14.04 (Trusty) 32-bit 64-bit
• Linux Mint 17 (Qiana) 32-bit
• Entropy GNU/Linux 32-bit 64-bit
• Debian 7.9 Xfce (Wheezy) 32-bit

Tested host system in VM

• Xubuntu 12.04 (Precise) 32-bit in Oracle VM VirtualBox 4.3 32-bit
• Kubuntu 12.04 (Precise) 32-bit in Oracle VM VirtualBox 4.3 32-bit -- Broken experience
• Ubuntu Mini Remix 14.04 (Trusty) 32-bit with minimal X, Xfce and LightDM, in Oracle VM VirtualBox 5.0 32-bit

These host systems have been installed on a fixed-allocated VDI in Oracle VM VirtualBox.

Host system compatibility

For non-Ubuntu system such as Debian (Wheezy, but not Jessie), the Makefile may need to be edited before creating DEB package. Notably line 10 PYTHON = python2 may be changed to PYTHON = python to be compatible for running python-config command.

For Kubuntu, remastering is least usable due to various errors and poor performance. That is, Kubuntu releases are not optimal and not recommended for "old stable" (based on testing in Kubuntu 12.04 and 16.04 32-bit releases).

The listed systems on this page are solely tested by Customizer Development Team and doesn't include every host system that works with Customizer. For more general results, refer to user feedback results (see sidebar).
