Maple Linux
VerifiedMaple Linux is a desktop Linux distribution based on Debian's "Stable" branch and featuring the Cinnamon desktop. It is designed primarily for users located in Canada, with specific Canadian defaults. The distribution ships with both English and Canadian French locales pre-configured and it uses CIRA Canadian Shield DNS for privacy-focused, malware-blocking DNS servers operated locally. Maple Linux is pre-configured with America/Toronto timezone, Canadian keyboard layouts, and default settings that make sense for Canadian users.

Land Acknowledgement
The Linux Association of Canada respectfully acknowledges that our home in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, is located on Treaty 6 Territory and the Homeland of the Métis. These lands have been home to First Nations peoples for thousands of years, including the Cree, Dakota, Nakota, and Saulteaux, who maintain deep and enduring relationships with the land and the South Saskatchewan River.
We are grateful to the First Nations and Métis peoples who have cared for these lands for generations. We honour their enduring relationship with the land, their cultures, histories, and contributions, and we offer our respect and sincere gratitude as we live, work, learn, and build community here.
