The Emmabuntüs Collective is pleased to announce the release of the new Emmabuntüs Debian Edition 6 Alpha1 64-bit on January 27, 2025. This version is based on Debian 13 Alpha1 Trixie and the XFCE/LXQt desktop environments.
This new version of our distribution builds upon the foundations of Emmabuntüs DE5 on Debian 13 Trixie and marks the end of the distribution of our 32-bit version, following Debian’s discontinuation of 32-bit versions. Internet users will still be able to use our 32-bit version of EmmaDE5, which will be supported by Debian until June 2033.
This version features the new graphical theme Mirage created by Juliette Taka, a graphic designer known for her many wallpapers for Debian, as well as the wallpapers for Emmabuntüs DE4:

For this Alpha1 version, the following fixes and improvements have been made:
- Based on Debian 13 Alpha1
- Replacement of the Emerald theme with the Mirage theme by Juliette Taka
- Discontinuation of the 32-bit version
- Updates: Radiotray-NG 0.2.9, deb-get 0.4.4-1, Boot-Repair 4ppa2081, ctparental 5.1.21-1.0, Debian Beginner’s Handbook 12.9, Ventoy 1.1.00, Warpinator 1.8.8
