I have recently moved from Arch to Debian, after using Arch for about 12 years. It's not that different from Arch, but everyone's using Arch nowadays, so Debian videos are more than welcome. Keep it Debian, Andrea, and thanks for the channel!
I've been a mint+cinnamon user for the past five years, I tried Fedora with Cinnamon and had a really bad bug that just broke my OS, feels like cinnamon on other Distros are way less well maintained.
Hello Andrea, I love your Debian desktop who look like Linux Mint, my favorite Linux system before I've discovered Debian, how can I get that Linux Mint style that you have? I love the personalization that you've made like the sounds, me I put the sound of Linux Mint 21.3 Cinnamon. I just don't get why some sounds doesn't want to work like the volume. My start sound at login doesn't work all the times. But beside those very insignificant problems, Debian 12 is the best!
I downloaded the themes and icons from the Linux Mint Packages website. Just search for them under Linux Mint Faye (since Mint LMDE6 is based on Debian 12) then download them. They are Deb files so you should be able to install them with GDebi. You need to install GDebi from Synaptic first. Linux Mint also have other software such as Warpinator which also works on Debian.The packages can be found here: packages.linuxmint.com/
@@AndreaBormanThank you for helping me, it is really appreciated. Like you've mentioned, if there isn't any risk of breaking my Debian, I will try it. I just want to add that I've reinstalled my Debian 12 lately with only the Desktop Cinnamon, I've unchecked the Gnome by default during the installation. Too much duplicated apps and conflicts before, I don't want to have Gnome apps in my Cinnamon desktop. I know it's maybe out of topic talking about Gnome but I hope you will explain one day why it is hard the get rid of the virtual keyboard in Gnome who keeps appearing and who is taking almost half of the screen. I couldn't make it disappear when I've tried the Gnome desktop. I've mentioned that in your latest subject about Gnome desktop: ua-cam.com/video/k3Hupa3pe0c/v-deo.html It is a question of preference but Cinnamon is the best desktop for me.
@@aletheia333 I have also posted a video about how to install Mint themes on Debian . This works on Ubuntu and other Debian and Ubuntu based distros. Here is the video: ua-cam.com/video/gCht_XvCdCY/v-deo.html&t
I like Zorin OS and I have tested it out in live CD mode. The only thing I am not happy about is that it has snaps and Flatpak built in. Which I would like to remove but am not sure if it would break the OS or not. If there is a safe way to do this I would consider running it.
@@AndreaBorman As it's Debian/Ubuntu based, I suspect you can get by without ever installing a Snap or Flatpak. My understanding is that there are only a few apps pre-installed as Flatpaks, such as Firefox, which could otherwise be retrieved from the apt repos.
@@kode4food When I booted the live CD version both Snap and Flatpak was already installed. It also had the Firefox Snap version instead of the Deb Firefox. I know in Ubuntu you cannot remove snap unless you really know what you are doing. As Snap is bundled with the system and it could be the same on Zorin. As it is based on Ubuntu and many Ubuntu based distros do have Snaps baked in. Except for Linux Mint and Debian which don't. I think Snaps and Flatpak should be an optional install instead of tied into the system. That way you wouldn't have to worry about breaking anything if you removed it.
@@AndreaBorman I agree. Which is why I'm using Debian 12 and NixOS on my systems. I do have flatpak installed, but this is for those situations where I absolutely can't find a package anywhere else and I'm not so desperate as to want to build it from source.
@@kode4food That's the thing with Debian Flatpak and Snap is not installed but you can install it if you want to. Or if you don't want it you don't. There are no parts of the system that depend on it so it's not going to break your system. With Linux Mint although it does include Flatpak again if you remove it it won't cause any harm. Because none of the Mint system apps are Flatpak. Snap is disabled in Mint but you can enable it. There are ways to do this. I think Ubuntu is different as they have Snap as part of the system. I am not sure if Zorin does or not or if Snap and Flatpak are just installed. When I checked the Snap list in the terminal on Zorin it did list some system components as being Snaps. So I think it could be part of the system. Some of the Pop Os Apps such as the Pop Shop are Flatpaks. So I am not sure what would happen if you removed it.
Most informative, useful and most of all enjoyable. Thank you.
Thanks youtube for recommending awesome videos
Andrea, do an Arch from scratch review! Keep being based! Love the content!
I don't think I can. Arch is very hard to install and is very different from Debian and Ubuntu.
@@AndreaBorman It's really easy. There's guides and videos. You got this Andrea!
@@SS-gu2tx No I am staying with Linux Mint and Debian. I have gotten use to them and they are working well for me.

@@AndreaBorman Thank you for taking the time to help me and other people here, Debian is not for debutant. We need a well advanced person like you.
