Installation of Emmabuntus is nice and smooth, and is especially well thought out. Choice of Xfce and LXDE desktops right at the login can be easily selected by the user. And, Emmabuntus even has the grand parents and grand kids covered. Special need in language (such as fcitx's boshiamy input method) and codecs, are flawless included. System package management through synaptic is great too. In summary in comparison to other desktop geared distro I have ever tried , Emmabuntus is definitely among one of the best. Thanks!

Emmabuntus is an excellent distro because it is Debian stable, ie.
- boring, because you do not get errors or problems, everything runs like clockwork;
- secure;
- no annoying constant updates like with rolling releases.
Of course I could have chosen the original DEBIAN distro , but Emmbbuntüs has some additional features that I really like.
By the way, I installed the desktop variant LXDE in the package management, because it is even more resource-saving than the two pre-installed variants. I measure a RAM usage of about 400 MB after the start - Wow! And LXDE looks cool and good, very functional and intuitive to use. In the login, LXDE is convenient to select in the drop-down menu at the top. Just give it a try!

In German:
Emmabuntus ist eine hervorragende Distro, weil sie Debian stabil ist, d.h.
- langweilig, weil man keine Fehler oder Probleme bekommt, alles läuft wie am Schnürchen;
- sicher;
- keine nervigen dauernden Updates wie bei den Rolling Releases.
Natürlich hätte ich auch die original DEBIAN-Distro wählen können , aber Emmbbuntüs hat einige zusätzliche Features, die mir wirklich gefallen.
Ich habe übrigens in der Paketverwaltung die Desktopvariante LXDE installiert, weil sie noch resourcenschonender ist als die beiden vorinstallierten Varianten. Ich messe nach dem Start eine RAM-Nutzung von ca.400 MB - Wow! Und LXDE sieht cool und gut aus, sehr funktionell und intuitiv zu bedienen. In der Anmeldung ist LXDE oben in dem Auswahlmenü bequem auszuwählen. Einfach mal probieren!

I've tested the live version of Emmabuntus versions DE-3 and DE-4 previously, and found them very complete (and I actually loved the Dominos game, but I digress)...so here we have the DE5-alpha1 version, running on Debian 12 now, but minus the Dominos game. The Emmabuntus software install is very complete, albeit a bit diverse. If you don't find something you need already installed, just open Synaptic from the desk bar and download almost anything! Installed system seems super stable, can be set to do both backups and automatic updates to run in the background. Default wallpaper is cheezzy lloking,so I switched it and the overall appearance is much more professional. My default O/S is Mint 21
