Brand new Debian 11 is out.
Unfortunately I do not have the Data nor the Ethernet wire (dismantled) to download it and test it.
By the way, my Debian 10 is running smoothly why bother.
Traditionally I download and test Debian and it will.be soon when the lockdown is eased.
I have got my Laptop and PC ready for its testing.
It is strange that Linux distributions while cohabiting peacefully with Windows, fear alternative Linux distributions.
I tried Peppermint and Pinguy Linux to sandwiched between two Debian distributions in my Laptop devoid of Windows and both failed even before starting.
I think they look for Windows to be already installed and not seeing any sign of Windows give up.
This is after preparing the Partition Table with Gpt, perfectly synchronised.
This is the ploy UEFI has craftily employed to scuttle pairing of Linux booting in a PC or Laptop prepared with a ESP boot partition (using BSD of course).
I noticed this and used a FAT partition of 255 MB (with nothing in it) in the front of the USB stick and then booting the Linux distribution of my choice, in the partition left in the USB stick.
All 32 bit Puppy Linux distributions need this leeway but FATPup does not care.
So I have FATPup installed in a tiny partition of the Laptop and then install the second Debian installation to gather all installed distributions in the Laptop in the grand GRUB boot loader.
Only Debian has the temerity to bypass UEFI having erased Windows using BSD.
In fact, I used TrueOS DVD I downloaded in 2018.
I think Linux Torvalds should look into this spy ploy and reserve a tiny 1 MB FAT (is void and cannot be used by Windows to eavesdrop) reservation and scuttle the desired objective of Microsoft.
New Windows struggling to give birth may have subtle insinuations but DO NOT fear it is going to fail like 10 within six months.
I would not have had time or the inclination to go into these subtle annoyances, if not for the Coronavirus incarceration.
I thank the pandemic for my divergence.
Usually once I get my PC or Laptop in running order by December, I have a long holiday in January and empty the wines.
I have given up wines to preserve my memory and sanctity, if Puppy Linux (dog is also gone) is not there I would have gone bonkers.
I am aware that a lot of guys including politicians have gone bonkers during the pandemic and Ceylon is a good example.
It is not due to the virus but due to the boredom brought on by lockdown.
An unhappy lockdown.
