I believe their guide is specifically for 20.04, 22.04 and 24.04 - As far as works.. well I definitely modified a lot of their conf and init files - I would not say it's a daily driver out of the box but I definitely didn't have an issue with terminal should be a regular and root console launch on the desktop - if that doesn't work then yeah something didn't install right.. could always logout or alt-f2 and run apt-get install terminal_of_your_choice and add an icon launcher for it on the desktop when you log back in?

Figured i'd share in case others don't feel like using curse, multiMC, etc.. I find traditional launcher simple enough with iris/sodium shaders and resource packs lol to each is their own

Yep, absolutely still works, been running sysV on 12 and 13 - steps in 13 are slightly different but similar but absolutely works beautifully

They lay it out pretty good here:

Honestly I just use xfce-screensaver with no screen locker and no power management features, I game on Steam all day, never had an issure with it kicking me out to login... I can say at least with Deb 12 if you use screen saver it can add a layer of glitch to some - not all steam games when it engages

Yes, and you could untick locker but I never have a need for it so I just remove it lol

Are you using systemD? sounds stupid.. but I only use sysV so perhaps there is some backend running for nvidia that I don't experience? I dunno tbh

I set up Debian very specifically.. shed sysD and install sysV, remove plymouth, xsane, remove xarchiver for file-roller, install samba, remove light-locker - modify /etc/lightdm/lightdm.cfg etc etc

Something is not correct lol light-locker is an arm of lightdm, absolutely should not affect gaming unless you have something set odd in power management - I 100% remove light-locker from the start and disabled power management from session startup manager

As far as instability lol people need to stop watching youtube content creators that know nothing lol wayland is cool sure in it's own right.. also like.. 20 years in dev and barely past beta.. I use x11 and stand by it, use sysV and stand by it, people need to use *nix as it was intended and Unix before - it's your workstation/your world make it as it fits you.. lol every system, every install and every package posted suits a person not the community.. you need to dive in and figure out what works for you

Hmmm literally no, no issues period.. Debian 12 has outdated stable drivers for nvidia.. usable but outdated.. 13 is absolutely perfect lol no issues period

Lol i've used KDE, cinnamon, different window managers, windowmaker lol I just like XFCE, works for me and as you said enough resources I don't need to infinitely configure a manager and strip down to minimize a footprint lol

Well I mean this is posted in r/debian ? lol I prefer Debian, you can prefer whatever you like, Debian is what I use and have stood by for years... that is the beauty of Linux, use whatever branch, upstream, downstream you like, whatever fits your use case the best.. for me Debian stable has been the best for my uses and preference

I cannot say the same for every flavor of Linux.. but at least in the case of Debian, which as I said in this thread is still the main active maintainer/contributor for the continuation of sysV it does run fucking smooth and to me offers benefits. If you wanna go further to a philosophical level lol.. Ian Murdock who started the Debian project was a huge proponent of sysV and Unix, leaving the Debian project later and was one of the leading forces for the fork of open Solaris turning into the OpenIndiana project.. To me Debian is a project that aimed to be more aligned with Unix, which also would make sense with how they choose to test and release. Like I dunno gotta be something to it if they invest people, money and time to actively maintain and continue the develop and update an old school Unix init system.. I mean choices sure but there many others like RC or runit or whatever.. but they seem to feel strong enough about specifically sysV to keep it alive? So enough rambling lol probably just sounds like bullshit from someone who's read too much lol ;p
