How I installed Debian 12 Bookworm

[@JustAGuyLinux]

Mike, my Debian brother, thank you for the video as always to further my understanding of linux and DWM. I appreciate the shout out and endorsement in a big way. Very cool.

[@itsfish8672]

This is gold.

[@TheLinuxCast]

Excellent video as always!

[@linuxdabbler]

@TheLinuxCast. Thanks Matt. I recorded this video, edited, watched, hated, and scrapped it so many times I stopped counting. I'm sure you have done the same, so we can both agree that it feels good to finally bring one to a satisfactory end.

[@rikhardfsoss]

wow, my precious Debian :D

[@bensatunia8842]

Why always encrypted with the extra lvm layer no one needs? You don't need the extra layer to encrypt btrfs

[@WC1376C22]

Yeah man! Some long form content, I like it!

[@linuxdabbler]

@WC1376C22. Lol... if you only knew how many times I recorded, edited, watched, hated, and scrapped this video... Bringing this one to a satisfactory end was really satisfying and I'm glad you liked it.. these comments have made my day.

@@linuxdabbler Great work! Virt Machine Manager intricacies? Cloning being one.

[@WC1376C22]

@@linuxdabbler Man I just spent a week farting around with a Void VM trying to get a "root on" set up....what a PitA! Another argument to stick with Debby.

[@alipiodepaula]

Great tutorial, indeed. Made me keen to switch from Arch to Debian right now!

[@Dennis-ur4zu]

Instructions unclear, proceeded to download a Debian ISO that comes with Cinnamon DE I somehow managed to find in Debian's jungle of a website. I love Debian!

[@malakov5]

Really great vid, man. Appreciate it

[@Ohmygodzilla]

Really great tutorial Mike! as usual. Would really love to see a video with your st and dmenu config. Fyi, tried to use space_cache (v1) but it broke my system boot. So, it looks like v1 is deprecated and v2 is the way to go.

[@linuxdabbler]

@Ohmygodzilla. Cool @ name BTW. Glad you liked it, and I appreciate the feedback on space_cache. I will most likely show patching dmenu and st when I do make that video.

[@Little-bird-told-me]

Cool video, this is like Arch Install tutorial ( the Hard way) . I am kindda keen to see your transition from dwm to dwl whenever that happens.

[@linuxdabbler]

@Little-bird-told-me. I tried dwl a while back, but had to install a couple dependencies from the debian experimental branch to get it to build properly. It was a pretty good experience once I got a few things figured out.

[@gbdguy445]

Yeah maybe he needs to rethink his channel name.

[@iogilarb]

I love your file-icons, what fonts is it?

[@tessiof]

Any plans for a new video about qtile on bookworm?

[@unLinuxeroMas]

how i can optimize my linux to my hardware fo the fullest? do yo have any tutorials for that by any means

[@linuxdabbler]

@unLinuxeroMas. I don't have any videos like that on my channel yet, but a few easy tips are to uninstall unnecessary packages, use a light weight browser and file manager. Set programs like make to use all your CPU threads, and adjust your swappiness. If you go further down the rabbit hole, you may tweak and compile a custom kernel. After that you would probably be building most of your applications from source and using Gentoo.

[@markdempsey1477]

Hey does anyone have this video info in a written tutorial or do you just follow it on your phone as you do the install?

[@drumpf4all]

Roll tide!

[@Bruces-Eclectic-World]

Ok you lost me at btfs as I don't use it or care to. Other than that it was a awesome video! Believe it or not I did watch most of it. Did I follow all of it, nope... Could not keep up this time ol'buddy... I do think if I sat down and pay attention I could get the DWM part down mostly I think. 🤔Lol Thanks Mike, good to see ya again! LLAP 🖖

[@linuxdabbler]

@Bruces-Eclectic-World. I have faith in you buddy... So I'm going to channel our friend @miyolinux... "You can do it!!" Always great to hear from you. LLAP

[@Bruces-Eclectic-World]

@@linuxdabbler Right @miyolinux running Debian with DWM, Right! Wait! He does run Debian kinda... 🤣 The DWM part would be strange... Hope the family is doing good as well my friend! LLAP 🖖

[@linuxdabbler]

I agree, that would be pretty strange.

[@Bruces-Eclectic-World]

@@linuxdabbler I wonder if we could entice him to run DWM with the "You Can Do It" Challenge? 🤔🤪 LLAP 🖖

[@patriark]

After properly getting used to btrfs it feels incomprehensible to not use anything without snapshot ability. You just feel so safe having your home backed up as a offsite snapshot. All your projects, applications and settings will just beam back to life after a full disk failure on your OS drive. You can take much more risk with your system drive. This video is golden as the btrfs logic is quite advanced and takes time getting used to. Btw Fedora Linux default install is quite similar to this, so you can try out something similar without the command line

[@SokyhoGulas]

what country are you in? this is good tutorial❤

[@TrustJesusToday]

Cool tools

[@seandougherty3022]

why not run zram for swappiness and ditch traditional swap? an ssd as a limited lifespan and every write shortens that lifespan. :)

[@sotecluxan4221]

Well, I am too timid....
