20 Things You MUST DO After Installing Debian 12 “Bookworm”

[@PicSta]

Excellent video. Nice collection of important steps after install of Debian 12. Would you recommend Debian 12 over Arch Linux?

[@SkillsBuildTraining]

Thanks! That decision would depend on the purpose for which you're using the OS.

@@SkillsBuildTraining A main system for mostly office tasks. Stable and good-looking is something I like too, why I like Gnome (KDE isn't my thing, I tested it)

[@gauravvaswani2994]

Thanks, this helped. Also do consider making a vid on installation

[@SkillsBuildTraining]

Will do!

Before anything else I usually enable i386 architecture, contrib and non-free. Then grab linux-firmware-nonfree, build-essential, linux-headers-amd64. Enable sudo for user if not yet done. Install wine-staging, steam, and virtualbox. Enable ufw, allow cups. Good tips though. Lot to do but soild distro when done. Maybe enable backports. Dont mess with snap or flatpak myself.

now these are real tips, thanks

[@SkillsBuildTraining]

Glad you like them!

I'm just not sure the voice was.

Excellent video, but your first point is incorrect. During set up you can create a root password, but if you leave it blank the user has sudo access. It says in the blurb on the page.

Didn't know that lol but it wasn't written by the I downloaded

[@zerimar53]

On my root account. Why visudo command not recognized? What did I missed here?

[@SkillsBuildTraining]

You can try posting that question here: forums.debian.net/viewforum.php?f=30

Hi. I'm sure you've figured this out by now, but in case others are wondering, make sure the sudo package is installed: "apt install sudo"

[@LEYNN0784]

Thank you!

[@SkillsBuildTraining]

You're welcome!

[@lwa.dev74]

brilliant!

[@SkillsBuildTraining]

Thanks!

Interesting video anyhow, most of the commands can be executed in one line only.

[@realtiger255]

Point 6: remove systemd and install anything else (eg: openrc). Make It simple. Point 17: write to debian to remove snap from supported packages. if you want something like snap that is risky, not open source, and potentially harmful to privacy go back to windows, otherwise use flatpak or one of the many other installation tools.

[@folksurvival]

It's "Debian", not "Deebian".

[@Adeel00000]

🤣🤣🤣

[@SkillsBuildTraining]

Noted.

[@tanchelm]

I am the only one who uses aptitude?

[@UltraZelda64]

Deebian? WTF is Deebian? Is it named after someone named Deebra or something?

[@SkillsBuildTraining]

The value is in the content of the video, as opposed to the pronunciation of the brand name, which can be open to interpretation.
