Posted it in the Tips and Tricks section at the Calamares installer is only available on the live image, and the full installer has more advanced options if one needs. I finally documented the complete install process having failed to do it properly for Buster. I spent quite a few hours setting up a handful of third party repos and installing extra packages which aren't in Debian repos, plus building a few packages, so it's not worth repeating all that. I intended this to be more a test distro-hopping kind of thing to test the waters but keep my Buster KDE studio install until Bullseye is actually released but it's been almost flawless for a couple of days so may now immediately replace the Buster one. It's been in siduction for several months now and has so many improvements over Buster's 5.14 that I didn't think would be profound but now I'm almost surprised how much better it all adds up too. I even helped damentz, developer of Liquorix, fix a bug in OS version detection in the add-liquorix-repo.sh script which is the only documented way to install it on the Liquorix site. This included a Liquorix kernel as the Debian one performed poorly using about double the DSP in a simple Mixbus session. I just did almost the same thing a couple of days ago! Used a netinstall image then installed kde-plasma-desktop to have a minimal Plasma 5.20 and then added lots of audio production packages and some there essential (for me) packages and did some tweaking to make it more optimal for audio. I'll try to get it from Backports or something later. Sadly, I don't see Nomacs in the Bullseye repos. I understand that are some big changes (improvements?) coming in GNOME 40, but I should be good with gnome-shell 3.38 on this machine for the next couple of years. I seem to get along fine between using Alt+Tab and the Activities overview. I have the Workspace Indicator on the panel in Buster, but I'm thinking that I'll leave it off in Bullseye. I prefer to use GNOME Shell without any extensions. I have Buster GNOME on another computer, but I'll probably wipe it out in a few weeks. I ended up using Calamares, and I think that worked out fine. I don't remember seeing that for installing Debian!Īnyway, at the boot screen before getting into the live session, there are the "Graphical Debian Installer" and "Debian Installer" options for users who prefer the "real" installer over Calamares. It opened up the Calamares installer (!). In the live session, in the Activities overview, there was an "Install Debian" icon, and I used that. I used debian-live-testing-amd64-gnome+nonfree.iso, found here: I did this installation a few days ago, and I'm just now getting around to setting things up. Typing this from Debian Bullseye (testing), with GNOME.
