On February 27, 2023, EmmaDE4 1.03 focused on parental control (UPDATED)
On February 27th 2023, the Emmabuntüs Collective is happy to announce the release of the Emmabuntüs Debian Edition 4 1.03 update (32 and 64 bits), based on the Debian 11.6 Bullseye distribution and supporting both Xfce and LXQt desktop environments.
This distribution was originally designed to facilitate the reconditioning of computers donated to humanitarian organizations, starting with the Emmaüs communities (which is where the distribution’s name obviously comes from), to promote the discovery of GNU/Linux by beginners, as well as to extend the lifespan of computer hardware, in order to reduce the waste induced by the over-consumption of raw materials.
This new update of our distribution adds the CTparental control, as well as a script to help install and configure it. This will greatly simplify the deployment of CTparental for the parents who want to protect their children against unsuitable content on the Internet, see our tutorial presenting the parental control.

Emmabuntüs is a Linux distribution geared toward those who don't know Linux | ZDNET
I've been using Linux as my primary desktop OS since 1997 and I've used and tested just about every flavor imaginable. During that time, I've tried many Linux distributions claiming to be perfectly suited for users with little or no experience. Sometimes those claims are founded, while others… not so much.
Even so, every time I hear of a new distribution release geared toward new users, I get excited because it means there's one more version of the open-source operating system that can be used to sway new users away from their proprietary OSs. So, when I read there was a new release of Emmabuntüs, you can bet I wanted to try it right away.
