Software Selection

This page allows you to choose the software you want to install on this computer. You will have the option to add and remove software using the Package Manager once Adélie Linux is installed, so you can change your mind at any time.

Which option should I choose?

• Most users should choose Standard. This option will install software for everday computing: a Web browser, an email client, a media player, a word processor, and more.
• Mobile installs the same software as Standard, with additional tools and utilities that are useful for laptop and tablet computers. This includes touchpad software, tablet control software, and extra power management tools.
• Compact installs a desktop environment, LXQt, that is more suitable for less powerful computers. It also includes the light Netsurf Web browser, and the Featherpad text editor.
• Text-Only installs only text-mode or command line software. You should select this option if you are installing Adélie Linux on a server, or if you do not want to use a graphical user interface on your computer.
• If you want to have finer-grained selection on the software that will be installed on your computer, choose Custom. This option will allow you to select software to install from a list.
