- Debian (Stretch, Buster, Bullseye, Bookworm)
- Ubuntu (Xenial, Bionic, Focal, Jammy, Kinetic, Lunar, Mantic)
- Devuan (Ascii, Beowulf, Chimaera, Daedalus)
- Raspbian (Buster, Bullseye, Bookworm)
- Arch
- RedHat/CentOs (RHEL 7/8/9)

Live CDs with TDE R14.1.1 preinstalled are or will be available soon on the LiveCDs page.
Previous release notes
Release notes for previous versions of TDE are avaiable at these links.
- Previous release (R14.1.0)
- Older R14.0.x release notes.
FreeBSD Support
TDE continues to offer support for FreeBSD.
Progress has been made on how to simplify keeping ports up to date and complying to the standard /usr/ports structure. "TDE port maps" data for each invidivual port have been added to the tde-packaging repository and a new "tde-ports-map" script is used to synchronize its content with the standard /usr/ports location. Additionally, a new "tde-meta" port has been added to simplify building and installation of ports using the new framework: this meta port does not contain any code but depends on all ports of the TDE umbrella.
Credits and acknowledgements
We thanks all the people that are (or have been) involved in making TDE the great desktop environment that it is.
Infrastructure
We would like to thank IntegriCloud for kindly providing a powerful physical server based on a secure POWER9 architecture that serves as the TDE primary host and as a very powerful builder for ppc64el packages.
We would like to thank vpsFree for kindly providing free hosting for some of the TDE services, most notably our self-hosted TDE Gitea Workspace and TDE Weblate Translation Workspace.
We would like to thank all the mirrors for kindly providing free hosting for the TDE packages and archive.
Translators
We would like to thank all the people who have used the TDE Weblate Translation Workspace to improve translations for many languages. We are looking forward for further contributions in future.
