I tried installing Debian recently as well but didn’t get too far into it. I was annoyed though that I wasn’t able to use sudo, so I went to add myself to the sudo group and it told me the command didn’t exist… I looked it up and realised that /usr/bin wasn’t on the bashrc path. Extremely fixable but something I never ran into on other distros, made me nervous how many other tweaks I may have to do.
I was simultaneously testing Lubuntu and ended up sticking with that after following install instructions for another app kept complaining about bookworm errors. Perhaps the Debian version was too new?..
