After a year of development, the Linux distribution wattOS 13 has been released, built on a Debian package base and supplied with the LXDE desktop environment, Openbox window manager, and PCManFM file manager. The distribution aims to be simple, fast, minimalist, and suitable for use on outdated hardware. The project was founded in 2008 and initially developed as a minimalist edition of Ubuntu. The size of the installation ISO image is 1.4 GB, supporting both Live mode and installation on a hard drive.
The new version has transitioned to the Debian 12 package base (the previous release was based on Debian 11, and the one before that on Ubuntu 16.04) and Linux kernel 6.1. Calamares is used as the installer. It includes support for Flatpak packages and the ability to install deb packages using the gdebi utility.
