Re: [Discussion] So ... Debian 12 ... Nightmare or Glorious Bliss? (or you just wish to post ITT with ellipsis ...)

I also prefer a fresh install to start without unwanted things from installing and removing packages, trying lots of things. As I have a few boxes to play with, I do upgrade one and compare the results. Fresh installations mean more time tweaking to be sure that I have all the packages that I like, ...

Re: Unable to type password after wake up (occasionally)

Install inxi and report the output of inxi -G Which desktop and desktop manager are you using? One way to solve this is open a virtual terminal, su - to root and type loginctl list-sessions loginctl unlock-sessions which as you might expect unlocks any locked session where you can't enter a password

A quick search gives lots of options, but the free plans usually include advertising while the paid for options may not have...

I have the same Nvidia GM107M and use

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="modprobe.blacklist=nouveau quiet"
in /etc/default/grub. You might try editing GRUB when starting to manually test if changing this helps or not.

Re: vbox stooped working

Please list your version of linux-image and linux-headers. If virtualbox was working you must have dkms installed. Have you updated a kernel or installed a new kernel without headers?

How did you partition the disks?
Is everything on one partition, so /dev/sda1 is mounted as / ?
What about /dev/sdb1?

Yes, I hate the backspace only key, no delete key. I use a wired mouse with my Debian Buster Laptop and my friend uses a wireless mouse with the Macbook.
I know that a lot of Windows users report bluetooth devices are flaky - that may be Windows, haven't used too much bluetooth on Linux.

Re: Installing opensource firmware on my desktop

I've looked at both Coreboot and Libreboot but haven't found very much hardware that is compatible, apart from the Chromebooks.

It's another good idea that seems to be lacking sufficient support.
