Exe GNU/Linux
Exe GNU/Linux is a Debian-based desktop Linux distribution. Its primary goal is to provide a Debian variant that ships with a slightly re-themed Trinity desktop environment (a fork of KDE 3), as well as several useful scripts and utilities. It offers LXDE as an alternative desktop. It uses the official Debian repositories, as well as the Trinity mirror for updating the desktop environment. In late 2017, the distribution re-based itself on Devuan, using the official Devuan repositories.

This version upgrades the Linux kernel to the long-term supported version 6.1: "Armbian 23.02 'Quoll' is now available. It features a new LTS kernel based on Linux 6.1.y (where possible), with builds around 'Bullseye' and 'Jammy', as well as Debian 'Bookworm' and Ubuntu 'Lunar' for developers. Armbian OS remains one of the most popular operating systems on the new Rockchip RK3588 platform, featuring official support for Radxa Rock 5 and Orange Pi 5. This will be the last release before we switch to the new build framework, which has been completely rewritten. The new build framework has an advanced but simple-to-use logging system and we no longer use external compilers and the caching system has been reworked to maximize space and computing resources. Compilation works on all architectures and operating systems, including now officially supporting WSL2." See the release announcement and the changelog for further details.
