Debian 11.0.0 is Out

I am currently installing Debian 11 and it is smooth and sleek.
The colour has got a little soothing greenish and installation set up is the same as 10 but very smooth.

It is about 20 MB less but it looks like it has added about 100 more utilities.

It is 64 bit and it recognized my PC hardware quickly.

Installation takes about 45 minutes since I use all desktops.

I think Plama Desktop will have big spring in its steos.

Yes, August 15th Sunday and Debian 11.0.0 torrent file is out.

I am downloading it using Transmission and never direct download to avoid file corruption.

One can test file integrity but nowadays my trust is so much I never do that.
Hopefully in about  3 hours it will finish provided my WiFi Wincle has enough data.
I downloaded Manjaro and installed it but it lacks in basic applications.
I could not configure Packman and it was a pain.
I have never used Arch but I thought Manjaro would make it easy but it was pain and I eased it.
This Endless OS takes over the hard disk and claims to have over 100 application (I used its 3GiB Image not the 1.8 Image I have.
It is in my Laptop with 130 GiB hard disk it has used only about 90 GiB and about about 40 application that amounts to less than 4 MB for an application.

Only browsers with cookies consume over 250 MB and others are tiny but it took hell of a trouble to install them bit got AbiWord my favourite installed.

Having erased Endless OS and Manjaro, I installed Ubuntu 21.4, Peppermint 10 and Emmabanrus in less than 80 GiB space in my 1 terrabyte turntable diskin less than an hour with 4 GiB RAM.

I still have over 700 GiB of free space even after installing Deabian 10/and 11 images.

This is all because I do not use Microsoft's UEFI by default and use GRUB boot loader.

It is a matter of few seconds of fiddling with the BIOS and setting for legacy setup.

Microsoft is a bloated image and even with 60,000 odd applications of Linux won't take that amount of space in your hard drive.

Only one Desktop in Windows and I have at least six beautiful but different desktops.

You are missing a lot if you get hitched to a bloated commercial OS and have to pay and install applications several times.

Linux has all the applications in the first time round and no additions necessary with different desktops using different assortment of applications.

I love Plasma Desktop and Debian 11 has one of the best and new Plasma Desktop.

Go download and enjoy Linux Freedom.

I generally update my desktop by September but all done before September and I have 4 months of free time up to Christmas and Linux guys did not incarcerate with Coronavirus but were elegantly productive.

For some reason I do not like Zorin OS and Elementary  OS and even 4M Linux is going down the money pathway those two derivatives.

If the OS does not have a torrent file do not use them since you cannot check file integrity before installing.

All good Linux distributions tests file integrity before.

O have only one DVD which is corrupt files.

The image writer was at fault in this instant and I use only Brasserio.

That is the bottom line in Ceylon each MB costs one Ruppee.
