On January 2, 2024, the Emmabuntüs Collective released Emmabuntüs Debian Edition 5 (EmmaDE5) 1.01, an update based on Debian 12.4 Bookworm and featuring XFCE/LXQt environments. Primarily designed for reconditioning computers donated to humanitarian associations, this release emphasizes software updates, including the replacement of VeraCrypt with ZuluCrypt due to TrueCrypt volume creation issues. Notable features include a fixed live deposit issue, the reinstatement of FileZilla in the 32-bit version, and an updated installation tutorial in English. The distribution aims to introduce beginners to GNU/Linux, extend hardware lifespan, and reduce waste. The release incorporates updates to various software components, such as Firefox, Thunderbird, Warpinator, FreeTube, Ventoy, Deb-get, and Ancestris. Detailed information on developments can be found in release announcements for previous versions. The release is accessible from emmabuntus.org or download.emmabuntus.org.
