I have spent some time with other distributions, but they were not the yellow of the egg: Bodhi, Q4OS or even BigLinux. The LXQt interface is clean and economical, not as bloated and resource-hungry as KDE Plasma. I like the colorful icons because they are also easier to recognize than the plain black-transparent icons of other interfaces. The installation also saves me the time-consuming reinstallation of various programs, which many do not have: Synaptic, Warpinator, BleachBit, various codecs and fonts, etc. Everything is included in the installation. - Everything is included in the installation. And if you prefer a floating Cairo dock, you can switch it on with a single click - cool. A dead laptop battery, cold starts or other unpleasant interruptions - Debian/Emmabuntüs starts up robustly and I can rely on the system. That's important to me as an author. I don't need a risky rolling distribution. Every 5 years, after backing up the important files, the PC is reinstalled and provided with a new "fresh" Emmabuntüs version. I always advise newcomers to use Emmabuntüs - it is a better Debian, indestructible and secure. Don't be shy - try it out! Was this review helpful?

This distro does that. Many more than typical apps are installed without additional manual installs. I installed it on a Dell Vostro 1500 laptop with maxed out 4GB of RAM. It runs fine and it easy to use. It also has the option of installing Cairo to have the line of "pop-up" app icons across the bottom similar to a Mac. I did that and there was no noticable speed difference. This also comes in a 32-bit version which is helpful in resurrecting a really old, but otherwise functional computer. Based on my experience above, I assume the speed would be acceptable on a 32-bit computer as well. I have a maxed out 4GB 32-bit HP tower buried somewhere. When I find it I will test this distro. The reason this distro is configured this way is that it was put together to load the OS on donated used computers to go to Africa, apparently a charitable endeavor. That demands it be trouble-free since the computer will be thousands of miles away when turned on. They did a good job. The only app category that is not included are those for programming. Since Synaptic is included, it is easy to install any app available to Debian which is many thousands, obviously all free. I install this distro on any old computer I give away. Both LXQT and XFCE destops are included either of which is simple enough for all but an absolute beginner. Was this review helpful?

I personally like the idea of having the best programs on the hard disk at the same time. Additional software installations are hardly necessary: For FTP the robust Filezilla, Warpinator for sending files from smartphone/PC to PC via wifi, Scribus and Calibre etc. I only needed to install SR Iron browser, the Google snoop-free version of Chrome, as an alternative to Firefox. That's it and you're ready to go. The media codecs are installed directly on request and the two interfaces to choose from are memory-friendly. The Debian stability is there - what more could you want? German Translation: Version 5 ist genauso perfekt wie die Vorgängerversion: Sicher - einfach und schnörkellos. Ich persönlich finde die Idee gut, das die besten Programme gleich mit auf die Festplatte kommen. Zusätzliche Installationen von Software ist kaum nötig: Für FTP das robuste Filezilla, Warpinator zum Wlan-Versenden von Dateien von Smartphone/PC zu PC, Scribus und Calibre etc. Ich brauchte nur als Alternative zu Firefox nur noch SR Iron-Browser dazu installieren, die Google schnüffelbefreite Variante von Chrome. Das ist es auch schon und man kann loslegen. Die Media-Codecs werden direkt mitinstalliert auf Anfrage und die beiden Oberflächen zur Auswahl sind speicherschonend. Die Debian-Stabilität ist da - Herz, was willst du mehr? Was this review helpful? Yes No See all 29 reader reviews of Emmabuntüs...
