I’d say that most systems on Debian (generally networked servers for businesses/services vastly outnumber desktop installs) are running the server version because it’s so solid and pretty light. The stable release model works well in production environments.

But yeah, the majority of desktop users are using a DE unless they’re WM-only, like me.

Debian isn’t Ubuntu-based, Ubuntu is Debian-based. That person is also full of shit.

Yeah, that makes sense. I don’t have anything critical; just nginx, a book server, a recipe collection, and some other small stuff.

Here are probably the most useful ones. I prefer for rm to be interactive so I don’t accidentally delete something important and for mkdir to create a parent directory if necessary.

alias rm='rm -i'
alias mkdir='mkdir -p'
alias podup='podman-compose down && podman-compose pull && podman-compose up -d'

This extract function (which I didn’t make myself, I got it from when I was using nakeDeb) has been pretty useful too.

function extract()
{
     if [ -f $1 ] ; then
         case $1 in
             *.tar.bz2)   tar xvjf $1     ;;
             *.tar.gz)    tar xvzf $1     ;;
             *.bz2)       bunzip2 $1      ;;
             *.rar)       unrar x $1      ;;
             *.gz)        gunzip $1       ;;
             *.tar)       tar xvf $1      ;;
             *.tbz2)      tar xvjf $1     ;;
             *.tgz)       tar xvzf $1     ;;
             *.zip)       unzip $1        ;;
             *.Z)         uncompress $1   ;;
             *.7z)        7z x $1         ;;
             *.xz)        unxz $1         ;;
             *)           echo "'$1' cannot be extracted via >extract<" ;;
         esac
     else
         echo "'$1' is not a valid file"
     fi
}

Yeah, I don’t think that’s supposed to happen. I’ve never heard of that before, but I can see that people on Windows have reported it happening, like this Microsoft help question; you may want to check that (and similar questions) out?

Sorry I can’t help more. I hope you find a solution soon.

Even when you change the boot order in the BIOS?

Ah, cool. Might be a good option for OP, then.

So use one for Windows and one for Linux. Problem solved, IMO.

Why not buy/use another drive and install Windows on that? Generally, you shouldn’t have a problem with dual-booting on separate drives. You would probably need an external drive since you want a laptop, but they’re pretty small these days.

Kavita, Komga, or calibre-web? I love having a book and comics server.

I used urxvt on my last install, but now I’m using Kitty because urxvt on Debian isn’t compiled with true colour and I didn’t want to install from source.

You’ll probably need to create a Podman pod or maybe a quadlet in order to make Nextcloud work. Podman handles network bridges differently than Docker, and containers aren’t in the same namespace by default.

I had to do this when I was using Grocy because it relies on a database and that’s a separate container.

I get wanting to charge, because it’s a lot of work (I’ve done cleaning, redrawing, and typesetting for a scanlation group) but that’s not how it works and is scummy. Also a legal liability.

You don’t backup /etc/apt/sources.list.d?

You can backup your list of packages to .txt and install from .txt using apt so I don’t really know what more you would need. I literally just did it last week to install a new distro.

First, you have to enable them; there should be a checkbox in the settings. I think you need to restart qB after this.

Then, in the bottom right corner of the main window, hit the “Search Plugins” button and then select the update button. That will auto-populate with some of the more well-known ones.

If you need a specific site, check out this repo.

Personally, I haven’t visited a public torrent site in years because qBittorrent has search plugins, so things mostly go through the sites’ APIs.

With Jackett, I don’t even really have to check the site for the private tracker I use; the only reason I visit now is to see what’s new and popular in case it seems interesting.

You’re right. I thought it was ./*/*/* instead.
