How to install debian 12 with gnome-core desktop?
0- secureboot.sh disable only if you do not intend to return to windows
1- Install minimal debian 12 to start from command-line
> do not allow login as root during installation
2- apt-source-mirror.sh optional, find the fastest debian mirrors
apt-source-gen.sh optional, generate debian sources
> full-upgrade && reboot
3- nvidia-install.sh optional, may failed with secureboot enabled
4- gnome-install.sh install minimal gnome-core only, no firefox
5- apt-common-lib.sh install common libs and codecs
apt-common-* optional, networking, dev, wine, steam ...
6- swap-make.sh make a swap file if you don't have a swap partition
7- purge-hard.sh purge ~/.cache if you are reinstalling
- Tested bookworm and trixie "testing" branches
- You can install any desktop by changing step 4, try LXQt for the lightest
- Final debian core is 3.5 GB, total 5.5 GB with GNOME and packages installed
- Memory usage in idle mode is less than 1.5 GB, with CPU and GPU around 30C
* The above configuration does not meet server-level security due to the
installation of non-free firmware, software and codecs.
So everything is going well on Linux?
If you are a gamer and play modern AAA games, Windows is still the best choice.
Of course, I'm not personally interested in PC as a gaming platform, and
I haven't had any other issues that would force me to go back to Windows.
