    TNG season 1 is a good start its rough around the edges and if it starts to look like the movie “Coming to America” go ahead and skip that episode. Just watch knowing it’s going to get better like Park and Rec but it sets up a lot of storylines that will pay off later and some classic episodes that people forget are season 1 like “Datalore”.



  • I run AMD now but ran Nvidia for years (RIP Evga). I had no issues with ether DE, other than the occasional update breaking things (only an issue with Sid) but that’s what you use timeshift to rollback for when something breaks and apt-listbugs to be aware of issues before you update.

    Note you can swap between X11 and Wayland on KDE by just changing the session on login.


  • I use KDE but that is out of habit and preference I have used them all and they all have pros and cons. Debian doesn’t customize them at all so there is no Debian specific DE for stable or sid.

    It’s all about how they make you feel using them. also the nice thing is you can use gnome apps on kde and kde apps on gnome so unless you super care about theme there is no down side.

    Like my favorite scanner app is Document Scanner for gnome and when I’m on gnome my favorite text editor is Kate. Yeah you’re doubling your needed disk space for libraries but disks space is cheap and your going to use up more space with flatpaks anyway.

    Debian is great for gaming just takes a little work. I run Debian sid and that has its pros and cons but I do it to have super updated packages and to help report bugs. But running stable with a mix of flatpaks and backports works great as well.

    Debian is great since it’s just super vanilla packages from upstream for you to make it the way you want it.









  • the best way i find is do a minimal install then if you are using deb bases system you just create a package.txt file with a list of all the packages you want to install then you just run sudo apt install < package.txt

    Then create a config directory tree for all the home directory configs in the correct paths then you can gnu stow to create links to the correct path in the home directory.

    Then you can commit it to a git Repo or copy it to a file share. so that on your next system install you just do a git clone to your stow directory then run stow to create the links. note you can also manage your package.txt in git as well.
