Debian Standard or Desktop Live

Debian Standard or Desktop Live

Please note that Debian  use Calamara Installer.

Yes, the Debian Standard DVD is for install

It is OK with a guy or a girl with some basic knowledge and understanding of Linux and Partitioning Strategy from which he or she can build up the necessary components. 

It configures Wireless WiFi effortlessly.

I think its desktop is Gnome.

I did not try installing it since, I already have three Debian based Distributions, Debian, Ubuntu and Emmabantus installed in my tiny Toshiba Hard Drive of  320GB and I have an additional partition of 40GB of NTFS.

That is to  store my favorite distributions.

Each distribution has its own distribution Iso in its Download Folder

Idea is not to breakdown  when downloading (which never happens).

It is the Display Option to a newbie (there aren't many newbies).

I have tried installing Debian 12.4.0 (Stable DVD Version) but could not get new software install.

That put me off, completely.

It is true of current 12.5.o edition.

On install it has 8 Desktops to test at boot time.

One can have only one desktop at a time.

Good old days, I think with Puppy Linux, I could switch to at least three light weight desktops without rebooting.

I wish I could have at least three desktop switches of Gnome, Mate and Cinnamon without rebooting.

Ubuntu has achieved this task by having multiple desktops but one has to download each desktop from the Debian repository. 

Live Gnome DVD once installed does the same thing what Ubuntu does but one needs Synaptic Package Manager to add new desktop types.

KDE or Plasma desktops have lost my interest in them due to their bulk but guys new to Linux probably love them.

Linux is known for light weight and minimum RAM  use and AbiWord is my favourite writing tool over two decades.

It is still smart word processor.

I am currently working on four books.

Its basic memory to hold a big file with images is a daunting task.

I am currently working on four books, one on Dogs  (I do not want to write a book on our dog, long gone, probably in heaven), the other on philosophy, another on Linux Essentials, the fourth of Vegetarian Saga.

By the way, I have almost all the Puppy (old and new) Linux Isos in a 32 GB USB stick.

For a beginner, my recommendation is to use the Live Debian CDs (Mate, Cinnamon, Gnome, LXDE, LXQt and Xfce and many more).

However, lightest weight desktops/ distributions are not available except in Puppy Linux. 

Arch Linux makes my nerves tingle!

Bye and I will come back, If I find anything interesting.
