>>108717952I use debian for all of my virtual machines. one time I forgot I was setting it up and then it switched to the screen narrated version and the voice spooked me.
>>108717988>one time I forgot I was setting it up and then it switched to the screen narrated version and the voice spooked me.kek happened to me too once or twice
>set once, forget foreverits just too comfy to leave.
>>108717988It works pretty well for servers, doesn't it. All of my containers are Debian.
>>108718716debootstrap is very easy and always werks
>>108717952i love lesbian the universal operating system
I'm debbing out
Debian Xfce is the only setup that has literally never failed me.

>>108719641I ended up here somewhat by chance, and after using KDE with Debian/Fedora, testing GNOME and MATE, I can safely say that this combo is one of the most comfy configurations you can use.

>>108723376I've had issues across Linux distros with sleep and hibernate. I'm not surprised that GNOME for example only has hibernate, restart, and power off in the power menu.
>>108717952The default non-root user not having sudo rights by default is dumb.
>>108723613thats by design, just dont set up a root password during installation.>>108722240for now, i only need 2 or 3 things on the cutting edge, and they all have scripts/executables i can throw/link in my PATH. pretty simple i'd say.
https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2026-31431patch when
>>108717952Nah, fuck it. I've set it up for a home server and already regret it. Everything that's in repos is so fucking old. Fucking initramfs-tools by default: no Luks+tpm2 for you unless you dare to migrate it to dracut. Exim4 instead of postfix by default.I should've go for Fedora/Redhat based distros or take Arch Bullet
>>108723376Let me guess, KDE? Sounds like a keyboard configuration issue.
>>108723920You can always install Ubuntu LTS if you're that of technically challenged.
>>108717952Debian mint. I I ike cinnamon.
>>108724228Me too, anon. That's a great option.
>>108723920>I'm a retarded niggerOkay, why advertise it?
>>108724210you got to be crazy to run kde on anything stable. theres no kde version that isnt riddled with bugs.
>>108717952Debian is a pointless distro in todays world, too outdated to be useful for anything. Use Fedora or Arch with KDE instead, that’s the future of Linux
>>108724406>kdebloated and undisciplined.>fedora & archno thanks. too many useless updates for my liking.
>>108724406>in todays worldstopped reading there.
>>108724433Updates are a good thing with Linux. Gaming on Debian is terrible.>inb4 you pretend you don’t game
>>108724457>I'm a retarded gaymer who needs a GUI to do anything at allokay
>>108724406still the most used Linux distro as a whole.still the most used Linux distro for servers and professional applications.go away red hat shill, keep beta testing for free.
>>108724472It’s used for servers which has been the most common reason to use Linux, most of the people making the jump to Linux are using Arch or Fedora since they actually need shit updated
>>108724457i dont gayme kid, but i had steam at some point and it worked fine here. not that i'd recommend if you want to set up a computer for that purpose alone.
>>108724457updates that work are a good thing.updates that krash your system are not.gaming on Debian is fine, as always, is just user error and skill issue.
>>108724495You do game, like anyone else under the age of 50, and Steam is shit on Debian
>>108724499>anti-kde jeet shills DebianNo surprises here since the distro is now thoroughly jeeted
>>108724501>You do game, like anyone else under the age of 50i dont, and even other young lads are turning on gayming:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utOUCbjts6ohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XKMzz7-kT5M>Steam is shit on Debianthey offer a .deb package that i had isntalled at once, it worked great, but i dont bother with gaymes anymore.
>>108719641I've been on debian+xfce for somewhere around 20y. There might be something out there by now that's better but I can't be bothered to try.
>>108724490most people making the jump to linux are using whatever distro their favorite techtubes or chatgpt tells them. That's fine for a begineer, but any experienced Linux user can tell you that the distro doesn't matter, Linux is Linux.
>>108724515wtf are you schizoing out, nigga?KDE is a jeet DE. Debian will become jeeted too.
>>108724554>gaming is so shit on Debian that you advocate just quitting altogetherKekarooGaming on Linux is better than on Windows unless you play slop like CoD, but you need to use an actually good distro like Arch or Fedora and not some outdated piece of shit like Debian.

>>108724598Arch and Fedora have to install steam with a repackaged .deb file. Hilarious.
>>108724604Using Debian as a desktop OS is an exercise in futility.
>>108724604>nvidia>wayland workingyou should consider doing standups.
>>108724617Gaben originally used Debian, before upgrading to Arch. SteamOS was originally Debian-based, before it became obvious that Debian is a piece of shit and he refactored it to be Arch-based.
>>108724598cry about it fag.>>108724604see >>108724383
>>108724631It is completely fine. It was a fucking piece of shit garbage fire just a year ago.
>>108724646Personally haven't run into KDE specific bugs. Just Nvidia bugs. However if Xfce adds proper Wayland support like they are attempting to afaik then I might move to that since I prefer the look and feel of it.
>>108719641me too, but I still don't understand why they package poppler as the pdf backend for zathura and not the superior mupdf. So I just build it from source.
>>108724651>leaks your vram
>>108724667i have gone through it all, its 100% kde and wayland acting up (in your case could be nvidia too), im yet to find any problems on xfce. you did it good in the end; if you want kde install fedora, or go testing.
>>108724645And yet people are reporting than other distros perform better than SteamOS. CachyOS, Bazzite and even PikaOS (debian-based). Sucking Gabe Newell's cock and drinking Valve semen doesn't make you cool, anon. Same as shilling for Arch or Fedora. Linux is Linux and if you shill for some distro that only reveals you as a poser who will probably go back to windows when all of this Linux flavor of the month shit is over.
>>108724721Just by reading his responses, you can tell he's a poser and a refugee, an unbearable cunt who will be back sooner or later.
>>108724721>Pika OSLiterally who? CachyOS for newbies and Arch for the more tech literate are the future of Linux. It's incredibly obvious with all the momentum they've been getting, and it's growing exponentially as people make the jump from jeetdows.
>>108724645suck less cock
>>108724966You know what I find amusing about posers like you? They move away from Windows because they're fed up by constant jeeted updates, and then they start using (and recommending) Arch+KDE like it's some kind of secret hacker club. Or worse, they start using shit like universal blue distros where a literally who, as you said, pushes daily automatic atomic updates on each reboot and they scream like they discovered some sort of "out of the matrix" shit. And then... an updates comes out that fucks their shit up and go to reddit yelling how much Linux sucks and that they're back to windows, just like their favorites techtubers did.
>>108725266>a bunch of babble about hallucinations he hadThanks anon, very coolPeople use Arch+KDE because it looks nice and just werks. No, Debian and its various spinoffs do not just werk, because shit is too outdated for it to werk without lots of tinkering.
>>108724515>insane jeet delusions out of nowhereI don't like them either but holy shit how did india mindrape so many people in this board
holy shit, what a poser kek
>>108717952until it doesn't. debian is lesbians.you have to follow so many retarded rules to not make a frankendebian. at this point anything that isnt atomic is not worth anyone's time
>>108725286this nigga has never used Linux in his life lel
>>108725316>atomic is not worth anyone's time>he trusts a microslop employee pushing blatantly opinionated automatic updates onto you on the dailycouldn't be me
>>108717952The amount of seething this thread caused is the final proofe that Debian, indeed, just works. Everybody else made the wrong choice.
>>108725366>Debian, indeed, just works.For server hosting. That probably won't even be true for much longer since Debian is now ran by a jeet.
>>108717952until Debian sorts its pajeeta problem out, I'm not considering part of the big distros.
>>108725519>until Debian sorts its pajeeta problem outIt will never happen. Once a single jeet gains control, the jeet takeover happens soon after since they are possibly even more nepotistic than Jews. Debian is done as a serious distro.
>>108725517Hating jeets is fine but next you're gonna tell me you like and run KDE right?
>>108725536>still won't post beef
>>108725583I know you love dickpics, anon, but this is not the board nor the time.Just answer the question.
>>108722240Stop using jeetware?>he's dumb enough to want to run """software""" that won't even run unless you have the correct version of 17 useless dependenciesYou deserve everything
>>108725366We had a comfortable thread going on for a while but they had to derail it. But that's okay, the real ones keep winning.
im on x86 it just doesnt work
>>108717952Stupid question outside of the stupid questions general Is it true I can simply uncheck a box at install and not install a DE so that I can just use the terminal for everything?If I did would it really make things lighter and snappier?
>>108717952>It just werks.i saw debian in a bootloop on warsaw metro info panel
>>108725694if you uncheck the standard system utils & the DE. you will log in a CLI 100%.
>>108725640>Stop using jeetware?Debian is certified jeetware, anon.
>>108725694Yes with the net install iso you can do that. I wouldn't uncheck "standard system utilities" though unless you know what you're doing, keeping that checked will still spawn you into cli. It's just very rudimentary under the hood tools. I would still install a simple window manager afterwards like i3 if it's not a server even if it's just there for whatever terminal emulator you might use. Much comfier that way and you can remove the bar entirely if you just want a thing that holds and spawns your terminal window(s).
>>108725696wow must be Debian's fault.>>108725694Yes, kill x
whats the use case of somethibg like arch, when we got the netinstall?
test
>>108717952zippy on gnome
>>108725919>its not debians fault if you actually wanted to use the operating system for something other than neofetch screenshots!
>>108726101Is your idiot brain getting fucked by stupid?
>>108726210yeah i just got fucked what about it
>>108726413Explains a lot.
>>108723804its up!>>108725607>the jeet hater uses and is obsessed with kdei wish that was satire.
