Can I use Snap and Flatpxck in Auxtral?
Yes, you can use them. But Auxtral does not bring them supported by default, for this you would have to do the following in the terminal as superuser:

# flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
Reboot the system.
For Snap:
# apt install snapd
# snap install core

Does Auxtral have UEFI support?
- Yes, from Debian (Bullseye) 11.2 and Auxtral (Alsephina) 3.2 support UEFI
If I choose a version with a certain desktop (DE), can I install applications from another environment?
- Yes, you can, what's more, that is part of Auxtral's philosophy in terms of pre-installed applications, for example, the "text editor" Pluma, is typical of the "Mate" environment, but it comes as default in all the Auxtral versions. This distro does not come pre-installed with any "document viewer", for the simple reason that I don't know if you need it!!!; when you install one, and if you chose the version with DE Mate, that does not imply in any way that you have to use "Atril", you can perfectly install "Okular" (from KDE) if it suits you more. I will never understand the "purists" of a system like GNU/Linux.
Can I use Auxtral for commercial purposes?
- Yes absolutely.
Can I sell Auxtral?
- Yes, you can sell Auxtral without permission. What you don't have to do is pretend to be part of Auxtral or let people understand that you are associated with Auxtral.
Can I install Auxtral on the computers I sell to my clients?
- Yeah. but Auxtral (just like Debian) doesn't have an OEM-mode installer, which doesn't mean you can.
Can I use the Auxtral logo and/or screenshots?
- Yeah. You may use, promote, and display Auxtral, screenshots of Auxtral, or its logo in articles, magazines, websites, books, designs, movies, or any document as long as you do not portray yourself as part of Auxtral and do not allow people to assume that you are a part of Auxtral. you are associated with Auxtral.

Does Auxtral include proprietary drivers?
- No. Proprietary drivers, such as ATI or Nvidia, are easy to install, but they are not installed by default in Auxtral, nor are any non-free software packages.
And what about proprietary software or Windows itself?
- Auxtral does not support any political or ideological position against any software program, its creator or publisher regardless of the license they use. And while all of the software included in the Auxtral ISOs is free and open source "software libre", and I believe in this software as a wonderful tool and a smart choice available to everyone, I in no way understand that it should be a limitation. .
It is extraordinary to share code, to give credit to the technology that free software makes available to us, to profess that people help each other, to allow others to build on what we do, and to facilitate progress in general, but always while respecting freedom to choose from each and every one of the people.
