Debian 12 “bookworm”The stable base: Debian 12 bookworm, Linux 6.1, Xfce 4.18. Debian supports each release for years (Debian 12 with security updates until June 2028), and Animux adds current creative software from its own repository.

Point at a program to see what it does; a click opens its page where there is one. The software list has every program with its command, and Versions has every version number.
