      Buy a bunch of #Debian swag. No less than a handful of stickers and a t-shirt.
      Plaster them on your laptop(s) and bike. XD

      Talk your roomie into switching to Debian. :D

        Well, it's something like:

        • you install Debian when it's had a recent release (like now)
        • you install all the packages you need
        • for packages you need to have more-up-to-date, you install flatpaks
        • you gather the few packages that you need to compile, and compile them,

        and then, you just... enjoy the stability. XD

          Last weekend, we reached another milestone in our efforts to have all Debian packages versioned in Salsa (Debian's GitLab instance). Out of around 39000 packages, less than 2000 are not in Salsa! Check trends.debian.net/#vcs-hosting for some cool graphs #09

            Linux tip - Keep Wifi On!

            I have one laptop - a Fujitsu Lifebook T732 - which ALWAYS disables WiFi the first time the lid is closed. I've messed with BIOS settings with no luck.

            My crude simple fix is an autostart shell script which simply turns on wifi every 23 seconds:

            #!/bin/sh
            while true; do
            nmcli radio wifi on
            sleep 23
            done

            The command "nmcli radio wifi on" is the NetworkManager Command Line Interface command, turning the radio button for "enable wifi" on.

              Debian Trixie tip

              If you use XFCE4 and do NOT want the screen to ever blank:

              1. Install xfce4-screensaver
              2. Go to XFCE sessions and startup and uncheck Screen Locker from autostart
              3. Go to screensaver settings and make it inactive
              4. Go to power settings and tell it to never turn off the display

                Do NOT dist-upgrade to Debain Trixie if you have nvidia-legacy-390xx-driver installed.

                I did and it left Debian in a very unhappy state - unable to create the boot initrd. I didn't feel like fixing it, so I replaced the boot drive with one that didn't have nvidia-legacy-390xx-driver installed. All my other computers dist-upgraded to Trixie with no issues.

                              When is Debian going to enable Calamares to install LUKS+BTRFS or encrypted BTRFS without needing to manually partition everything and pray? Parrot already does this. Debian team could just swipe ParrotSec's Calamares config and spread joy.
