Emmabuntüs DE 5 is a desktop Linux distribution based on Debian 12 XFCE/LXQt. It strives to be beginner-friendly and reasonably light on resources so that it can be used on older computers. It also includes many modern features, such as large number of pre-configured programs for everyday use, dockbar for launching applications, easy installation of non-free software and media codecs, and quick setup through automated scripts. The distribution supports English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Danish and Spanish languages.
The Emmabuntüs Collective is pleased to announce the release on 29 July 2024 of an update to its distribution: Emmabuntüs Debian Edition 5 1.02 (32 and 64 bits) based on Debian 12.6 Bookworm and the XFCE/LXQt desktop environments.
This new version of our distribution was created following a request from our friends at the YOVOTOGO association, to donate 90 computers with this new feature to the Togolese association of impaired persons (FETAPH) in order to equip their training centers. To include these new capabilities, without disturbing our former users, we have added a specific window to configure and activate these accessibility functions.
