I am always open to ideas and I have a huge list already, bring it on!

Also if I add in the Marquee stuff would you be willing to help me test it?  
Considering the functionality is already done the hardest part will probably be 
adding in the configuration into the menu editor.

It would just make it easier to add new options someday without the need for 
any type of conversion program, thats really the only benefit.  The thing is 
the menu engine doesn't change often these days so I go back and forth on how 
worth it, it is.

No not really.  I could always change it and see if anyone notices. :)  Or 
change the lightbar and add AFTERP to see what happens.

What is the overhead that made you stop?  Do you mean the extra applications 
and stuff?  I don't think Debian has much of a performance difference between 
Ubuntu (assuming the same versions are compared).  They're both faster than 
macOS or Windows for me so thats all I really care about lol.

I used to run Debian myself before Ubuntu just got so good (around 16.04 is 
when it was getting on my Radar and its only gotten better IMO).

I am planning to try to do a Slackware installation and maybe I'll add the 
latest Debian to that too for testing.  I used to test under a bunch of 
different Linux systems but its just too time consuming since I'm already 
testing under Windows 10, Ubuntu 18 and 20, macOS, and Pi (and sometimes 
Windows XP).
