What do they offer out of the box?
Owing to its large ISO image, it’s no surprise that Emmabuntüs is chock-full of applications. In addition to a number of useful educational apps and games aimed at children, there’s the usual crop of multimedia and internet applications. Unlike the other distributions, Emmabuntüs also features a vast number of applications aimed at hobbyists, such as Libreoffice Draw, Pinta image editor, Audacity audio editor,
Kdenlive video editor, Inkscape, Scribus and more. You’ll also find that the distribution supports HP and Brother print devices out of the box.

Q4OS offers a sprinkle of KDE applications in addition to its core offerings. For instance, you’ll find Konqueror browser in addition to Chromium, Okular document viewer in addition to
qpdfview, etc. Then there’s the usual selection of everyday use applications such as Libreoffice, VLC media player, etc. Although it’s nowhere near as rich in its offerings as Emmabuntüs, the distribution still manages to pack in a few games to keep you entertained.
