As long as they continue to maintain the github repository and keep it free without any hidden ads/spyware or restrictions, I will continue to use their service.

Okay, thank you :)) too bad it looked liked a simple and elegant way...

Heyha ! Read about dd on makeuseof after reading your post, to see how it works.

Restoring from an image seems exactly what I was looking for as a full backup restore.

However this kind of 1 command backup isn't going to work on databases (mariadb, mysql...). How should I procede with my home directory where all my containers live and most of them having running databases?

Does it work with logical volumes? Is it possible to copy evrything except /home of the logical volumes?

Thank you for your insights and personal experiences :) I love Debian stable as server, never had any issues on a old Asus laptop ! I have only 2 years of "experience" and started with Ubuntu. Good introduction to linux but switched to Debian (<3)

That's way I'm asking arround I don't wan't to have a too bad experience with Debian as main personal PC !

Thank you for your personal blog post and the wiki link :) will surely read through before making my final choice !

Thank you for your nice write up and your link ! I think I will follow your guts and personal experiences ! Thank your for pre-saving my ass !! <3

Thanks :))))

Thanks :) good to know I can switch between those two in KDE ! I need to test Plasma and xfce to see wich fits better my needs and has better suppport for my system !

Thanks for the clarification !!

Do you consider testing a better choice than sid for desktop/gaming environment?

I'm really not sure which one I should use. I only have experience with bare bone debian stable as server, I'm trying to find the best choice when switching from windaube to debian :)

Thanks for your insights and personal experiences !

Thank you !!

I'm currently looking into xfce vs KDE plasma, something I need to pay attention to is a DE with x11 because nvidia hasn't fully supported wayland ?

Am I right to consider it that way? Or do both support nvidia drivers?

I'm sorry, I only use debian as bare bone on my server and currently considering to switch my main desktop from windaube to linux and alot of informations on the web seem contradictory or incomplete :/

Thanks OP for the question and your comment :) I was having the same question and you gave me hope to stay on debian :)

Which DE would you suggest with debian sid?

You probably have your reason to run Debian testing but I read somewhere that testing is somehow a bad idea as desktop environment !

If somehing is stuck and being updated in sid, and bugs are still happening, you could be stuck for month without the correct update in testing.

Sorry if it's not clear, but I read it somewhere in the official debian documentation.

Are there any avantages of LMDE vs pure debian?

I mean LMDE is just plain debian with pre installed packages, GUI?

If LDME uses debian bookworm stable, their is not point in LMDE except for the ease of installation process?
