DebEX uses Apt and Synaptic.
DESKTOP
Gnome 43.4/Enlightenment 0.25.4, Gnome 41 respectively KDE Plasma 5.27.8-1 are used as Desktop environments.
RUNS FROM RAM
That ability allows DebEX Barebone to be very fast, since reading and writing data from/to RAM is much faster than on a hard disk drive.

La misma porquería de siempre. Una chapuza en todos los sentidos. Por poner un ejemplo: la anterior versión usaba el escritorio Gnome, y esta KDE. Pués no ha sido capaz de borrar Gnome completamente. Hay un paquete llamado plasma-nm que debería de estar instalado y el intenta la cuadratura del círculo con nm-applet y wpa-gui. Lo dicho un desastre detrás de otro.Reply from DebEX Barebone Linux 64/32 bit
