Debian is a free operating system (OS) for your computer. An operating system is the set of basic programs and utilities that make your computer run. Debian provides more than a pure OS: it comes with over 59000 packages, precompiled software bundled up in a nice format for easy installation on your machine.

Hello debian lemmies,

If anybody is interested, I've made an alternative debian installer targeted for laptops and workstation PCs. It has some nifty features over the official installer, have a look.

Comments are welcome!

This is very nice, love the fact that you're picking btrfs and systemd-boot as your defaults. I hope GNOME guys get over their own as*s and add systemd-networkd support so you can do the same.

For btrfs how does the subvolume layout look? For example in ubuntu it has @ and @home which is very convenient.

Is there plans to add other cpu support?

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago

Such as?

i386? meh.

arm64? I am a big fan, if there was a viable laptop/workstation PC with a good linux support, I would be first in line to buy one. Apple silicon? Last time I checked, it kind of works with a dedicated distro (asahi) and half of the things I take for granted doesn't work yet (such as external monitor.)
