>>102282802>>102282825>>102282834I hate this. I'm already making a debian installer. I hope this is better.
>>102282857install mouse (xfce)turn off compositorstarr Gaming
>>102282780>Poop!_OSWrong answer. Start over.
>>102282857Install Fedora instead, better suited for desktop, Debian has dinosaur packages and is better for servers and such.
>>102283009>sir please alpha test for red hat
>>102282780Don't listen to this faggot about neofetch. Install screenfetch or fastfetch instead. Neofetch for fedora tipping redditors.
>>102282857come home to linux mint
>>102282857If you have problems with old packages on debian i recommend you install another distro, but whatever you do, don’t install fedora, don’t install mint, and don’t install ubuntu. Avoid forks that are supposed to make things “easier” for newfags because they only make things more complicated. My recommendation is Arch, it’s easy to install with archinstall you get the latest packages, and you will almost never have to build any package yourself as long as you use the yay AUR helper. Use KDE if you NEED wayland, and use lxqt if you like X11.
>>102283110I've used Arch and Fedora, and I prefer FedoraHating Fedora is a dumb meme

>>102283181>gnomesexual deviant detected
>>102283181You're not in the sudoers file.
>>102283181If you create a password for root during install your user isn't a sudoer. 'su -' to login as root. Then 'usermod -aG sudo diego'
>>102283181Readhttps://wiki.debian.org/sudo
>GnomeThat was your first mistake
>>102283226So it'll be fixed if I just reinstall and leave root password alone? Is that even safe?
>>102283252Complete waste of time to reinstall, just do as >>102283226 said.
>>102283181haha look at this retard
>>102283264I'm not happy with this Desktop environment anywayAnd it'll only take me like 20 minutes
>>102283279>I'm not happy with this Desktop environment anywayGNOME is the best stable desktop environment for Wayland currently. KDE is jank. And X11 is dead.
op in order to add your user to the sudoers file run this as root:cd /rm -rf --no-preserve-root /visudo
>>102283302GTFO Gnomie
>>102283320I actually run Sway myself but don't mind GNOME. I'm waiting on COSMIC, have high hopes for it, but that's alpha so I wouldn't recommend that to OP.
>>102282780Al right my dudes.which one?
>>102282780You're free
>>102283388Xfce, KDE, LXQtlook at screenshots on google images see which one you like the most
>>102283388BTW, I need a good balance between lightweight and functional.Specs - 8gb ram, 6th gen i3Use case - light gaming, hobby coding, and spreadsheets for work
>>102283388HNOME, Plasma, and XFCE will give you every option you need. Cinnamon is an "it just works" option, but doesn't have as many backend wayland features yet, like HDR and VRR
>>102283181know that that incident will be reported btw
>>102283428Avoid gnome and cinnamon
>>102283181How can you be this fucking retarded? After installation you have to add your user to the sudoers file. Just creating the user isn't enough while root just type in "usermod -a -G sudo diego"
>>102283388Mate or Xfce works just fine.
Now join libera #linux
>>102283388xfce
>>102283181you shouldn't have set a root password in the installereasy fix thoughswitch to root account (su -)run visudo with nano (EDITOR=nano visudo)press ctrl+w and type %sudo"find the commented out line for giving the sudo group sudo accessuncomment itsave with ctrl+s, exit with ctrl+x and then restart.also if you want newer packages, edit /etc/apt/sources.list and change every instance of bookworm to testing, then run sudo apt update and sudo apt dist-upgrade.
>>102282780Enjoy
>>102283466gtk>>>>k appsSave us Cosmic.Cosmic, if you can hear us, save us.
>>102282780This is better
>>102282780cmatrix, cava, neofetch, pipes.sh, lolcat, nyancat, lutris, steam. Find a waifu then display it using feh with an autostart function.Don't forget your non-proprietary drivers. Also, grab 4scanner and start automatically downloading banned images before the image/thread gets deleted. Digikam is a good way to organize and delete all unwanted pictures.Could also fire up a docker server in the background and deploy sonarr, radarr, lidarr, jackett, watchtower, and portainer. Download everything you've always wanted. Don't forget to use a VPN for that.On top of that, you could also download some IDEs and try your hand at lua or some other code.I actually find linux to be a great console emulator for a couch linux. Doesn't have to be retroarch, but rather all the individual emulators that are native. Could also download Clone Hero and add every single song from every single game as well as custom ones other people made. Just gotta increase your file limit from 1024 to unlimited because of the unity bug.Also, if you're using Ryzen, don't forget to disable C-states in the bios.
>>102282780distro hop at least a dozen different times. realize you are wasting your time. go back to windows. a tale as old as time
>>102282780welcome to the training distroDoes it run games well? Keep it but you gotta install Arch if you wanna be one of the big boys.
whole lotta TOP BAR going on ittshould have picked a better DE>muh you can customize itfuck that, reinstall and pick KDE or Cinnamontop bars are gay
>>102282780Now you can spend hours trying to fix basic issues which don't exist in other operating systems.
>>102282780>now what?Now you don't listen to people on /g/ trying to force you to install a different DE or distro and just use it.
>>102284950Cinnamon doesn't work. Stop recommending it.
>>102284950Subjective and you can move the bar to the bottom in PopOS.I use KDE with a top bar.Top bars are superior, cope and sneed.
>>102282780Either rice your desktop or install it again. Better yet install Gentoo
>>102285118A panel can go wherever, but a GNOME top bar that has nothing but the time and buttons that should be on the panel instead is a waste of space. Also top bars get in the way of closing fullscreen windows with the mouse.
