    DebLight OS
    Il s'agit d'un système d'exploitation rapide, léger et convivial, orienté vers l'ordinateur de bureau et volontairement sur LXDE dans sa version finale en 32 & 64 bits. C'est donc le bureau par défaut. Notre but, le mien en tant que développeur, mais aussi celui de l'association Vivre En Comminges est de fournir un ensemble d'utilitaires dédiés et des optimisations spécifiques, associés en mettant l'accent sur l'accès à un système productif qui soit facile et bien léger. Cela rend notre OS idéal pour les personnes qui veulent un environnement de travail adapté aux besoins et aux préférences individuels. De ce point de vue, DebLight OS convient à la fois aux nouveaux arrivants comme aux utilisateurs d'ordinateurs expérimentés, et même aux associations qui préfèrent remettre au goût du jour leur parc informatique plutôt que de tout remplacer trop souvent. Il en va de même pour les petites entreprises PME, PMI, etc ainsi qu'aux autoentrepreneurs.
