Welcome to Kanotix!
The newer releases ship with LXDE as a second lightweight desktop environment.
Kanotix is a rock-solid Linux based on Debian, which contains the newest packages and recognizes more modern hardware than any other operating system in use today. (So they say - not me!
)Kanotix is assembled for 32 Bit i586 and for AMD 64 using the most up-to-date kernel with unique patches.
for Easter 2024 there were new Kanotix Slowfire Isos based on Debian 12 (Bookworm)
