Another Debian Experiment-12.4.0

Debian 12.4.0 DVD-1 image is only 4GB.

I used Image Writer to write it on a 4GB USB.

It can be booted  only for installing Debian.

I decided to install Debian on a 32GB USB.

It is progressing well.

I do not have a SATA portable disk.

This was done in desperation to use all 8 desktops on a Bootable USB.

Thank you Debian Developer guys and girls keeping several (8) Live DVDs and 20 Installable DVDs.

Mission Successful and I am reporting this from Debian 12.4.0 installed on a USB.  

Yes I did some mistakes regarding EFI booting and I could not boot from my Toshiba hard disk.

I figured out the mistake and I am reinstalling it so that EFI remains in my Toshiba.

Guys and Girls I won't dish out everything, here.

You got to try and figure out.

Total files 2846 which is an addition of about 300 new files from 11 version.

I think Debian 12.4.0 by default won't let me install any additional applications for the reason of Stability. 

Yes Application is not opening but Internet is OK!

I could not install my favourite AbiWord but I have got AbiWord in Debian Genome, Ubuntu and Emmabantus.

Endless OS Freezes

This was posted by my Android while I was testing it.
I tried Endless OS of 20GB Iso using Linux Image Writer utility and it did not boot.
Then I downloaded the Base Iso of nearly 4GB and wrote it to a USB using Image Writer.
It booted all right and configured the wireless internet and it Frooze in mid air.

Please DO NOT use it.

It is supposed to be Linux based and it is not.
My past experience 3 years ago is it booted OK but take over the whole hard disk.

I looked at its home page and it seems it is Windows based utility of no customer use.

I am going to switch off my NUC literally since it actually frozen in action.

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.
