Debian 11 mate is based on debian 11 bullseye (debian stable branch), and uses debian repositories for all packages installed (Except with a notable exception for this release regarding flash; see "notes" below). It is equipped with the mate desktop environment (mate 1.24.1). There are 32 and 64bit versions available, among 32 and 64bit versions that support efi.
Debian 10 mate 20201221 was the last release.

NOTES
========================================================================
EFI SUPPORT
EFI or known as UEFI support is present. If you want to install on an system with encrypted boot, download either the 32 or 64 bit efi images here. If you don't want install on an encrypted boot system, download the images that dont have efi in the file name.
VIRTUAL MACHINE MANAGER
Virt-manager is included for the creation and management of virtual machines.
VIRTUAL KEYBOARD
Onboard the virtual keyboard will now display itself on the login screen and lock screen.
REMOTE CLIENT
Remmina client works again.
FLASH
Flash is no longer a part of this distribution.
ENCRYPTION AND ANONYMITY
I always include tor and openvpn, now also included is wireguard for extra vpn protocol support. One can easily connect to tor network for anonymity, and openvpn and wireguard vpn servers can be connected to; or make an openvpn or wireguard vpn server.
RELEASE AND PROJECT NAMING
There's too many old "debian mate"'s on sourceforge, but mine's regularly updated, and you can tell by looking at the name of the current version. This is still "debian mate" as how I intended.
