I installed UbuntuDP XFCE. But they offer versions on top of every other *buntus.
it is basically a working Ubuntu with a nice selection of additional apps.
The additional apps are:

Browsers
-Firefox from .deb
-Chromiun from .deb
-Tor browser

Crypto tools:
-Veracrypt
-Zulucrpypt
-Gnome Encfs manager

Backup & restore
R-Linux
Timeshift
BleachBit
BackInTime


And a ton of other apps, which user doesn't need until he/she needs them, but don't know how they are named. User just searches in the menu.

Also things like winrar is configured. So this is is a nice distro for workstation users. It has Synaptic installed too...

One interesting thing is that some apps are not installed, but their repos are added, so you can install AnyDesk, TeamViewer, Microsoft Edge, Opera and other apps from install manager (or synaptic) if you need them.

It is a nice distro for enterprise users.

p.s:
For Ukrainian users, it has Java configured & PrivatBank browser addons.

I like that this distro has a lot of different versions, lots of packages to choose from, isn’t that bloated compared to other distros, is very stable and user friendly. I wish there would be a bigger team working on this if it could, I really like it and have had no problems while using.

Ubuntu DesktopPack is great. It’s like Puppy Linux where there are different types of distros (or “Packs” as the site calls it) for different uses. There’s an education pack, games pack, an office pack and more and all of the packs with tons of software to get you up and running immediately to do day to day tasks whether it’s office work, playing some games, listening to music and watching videos, editing videos and music, etc. And it does all of this being based on the LTS versions of Ubuntu, which make it more stable and tested than non-LTS versions. The OS looks beautiful and has tons of customization and you can always add more repositories for more customization and more programs. I recommend Ubuntu DesktopPack if you’re tired of the same old Ubuntu.
