Re: [Discussion] Why Debian still uses sudo instead of doas?
Sudo is battle tested. Doas has nice benefits and I use it on OpenBSD but you need an actually good reason to switch away from sudo. Especially since switching away from sudo (on a default install ) will break compatibility and habits. Anyways, out of the priv-esc religious war there is one clear lo...

Re: Installing a needed package that isn't in Debian repos
Which gives me an idea, that maybe I can install it into my home directory only, without root access, instead of manually installing the deb file with apt. This wouldn't pose the risk of breaking Debian, since the program wouldn't exist outside my home directory. I know how to edit ~/.profile, add ...

Re: [Software] Issues with the nvidia proprietary drivers installation
Do you have drm modesetting force enabled with modprobe? It is probably necessary to run Wayland, my guess is that newer NVIDIA driver versions enable this by default now, which would explain the difference between versions. The other issue with external displays is how they are wired to the dGPU/iG...

Re: [Software] Issues with the nvidia proprietary drivers installation
I don't know what to tell ya. When I install from NVIDIA's website website it works, when I do it from the repositories it doesn't. Beats me. I think my confusion is, does it work on X? I'm saying you shouldn't write off the entire Debian driver just because it appears broken on Wayland. When I tri...

Re: [Software] Issues with the nvidia proprietary drivers installation
I meant that the GPU works. With the drivers from the official source/repository my GPU won't start no matter what. I'm highly skeptical. It's not a car, it's a GPU. Is this a Waylandism or is the actual nvidia-driver install not working? If it's not it points to a more serious problem. Now that yo...

Re: [Software] What does Linux Mint do to get Nvidia NVENC recording working?
I am pretty sure this is a bug in debian obs-studio.
Please try these steps:
Encode a file using ffmpeg using NVENC
Then try encoding using NVENC in obs.

Thanks to the gracious work of the package mantainers, the LibreOffice suite is available in bookworm-backports.

It's not the 'latest' version.

Re: [HowTo] Install and use Wine on Debian
That's for adding the wine repos, which can get you newer versions of wine.It seems it's a procedure will be different for Bookworm?
If you are using Debian I don't recommend it and Wine 8 in stable is plenty capable

Re: cryptsetup ERROR: nvme0n1p3_crypt: cryptsetup failed, bad password or options?
Your sources list has Unstable, Testing and Experimental. It can only have ONE. It's just untrue. Experimental packages already ship low priority, and so can be combined with testing or unstable safely since it functions equivalent to stable-backports. Testing and Unstable CAN mix, providing you do...

By default, .local/bin is only added to PATH when .profile is executed. $ cat ~/.profile Often times with a display manager .profile is not sourced, but it should be sourced when logging in on a TTY.
