For indication about the GNOME version, please check the "nautilus" and "gnome-shell" packages. The Apache web server is listed as "httpd" and the Linux kernel is listed as "linux". The KDE desktop is represented by the "plasma-desktop" package and the Xfce desktop by the "xfdesktop" package.
  • Colour scheme: green text = latest stable version, red text = development or beta version. The function determining beta versions is not 100% reliable due to a wide variety of versioning schemes.

The system hangs after installation, after locking and trying to unlock sometimes it is not possible to enter the user password, the input field is inactive, the Mahjongg board game freezes after starting a new game, and cannot be easily restored. I have not encountered this problem with other distributions. It's a pity, because the system and its environment look very nice and if it weren't for those errors, it would be usable for me. But I don't want to knock Voyager in any way, the problems I described can only be on my laptop.

Hello all,
As a long time user near Mint and OpenSuse, i would tell new users to linux to try it.
UI and UX are very smooth, and it is based on the last debian 12 bookworm.
There are tons of tips on the website...
Be confident on the quality oh this "customized" distrib created by a french guy called Rodolphe.
He is very creative and involved in making this usable on many types of machines.
All basic apps you need are included and of course you can apt or flatpak other apps...

Really really worth to try and install for everyday use...

Have a nice play. Luuv

After trying everything on Linux from Debian to Gentoo, I needed something really stable. Voyager makes Debian more stable and easy to configure: codecs, for example. Voyager makes Gnome a pretty and practical desktop. I have not had any problems installing Voyager Debian 12 and no bugs in the first few hours of use. Good job Voyager!
On occasions I had tried other distros that make Debian easier and faster to configure, such as SolydK, but I prefer this distro because it takes care of the aesthetic aspect, something that neither Debian nor its friendly distros usually do.
