Out of sheer curiosity, my wife just set up her first #Linux on a computer via the #Debian 13 #Trixie netinstall: https://www.debian.org/CD/netinst/ via USB thumb drive I provided for her.

I was sitting nearby but she accomplished the task all by herself. I just explained what "LVM" means as this was not explained properly by the Debian installer.

You can do it as well!

If still unsure, visit https://endof10.org/ and join one of the meetings listed by your local community.

Today, there is a #LinuxCafé in #Graz: https://events.graz.social/@linux_cafe I'll be there as well.

#Debian13 #EndOf10

@publicvoit ... nice! Well done!. I upgraded from 12/Bookworm to 13/Trixie yesterday. The only problem I had was that my 12/Bookworm install (relatively young) only had reserved 10GB for the (separate, in LVM) /var partition and thus did not have sufficient free space to download all the apt/deb packages into /var/cache/apt ... I had to trick it a bit into thinking that cache was obviously stored in /home/cache/apt and then it was fine. Restored settings back to the usual /var/cache/apt and now I'm running 13/Trixie with around 884MB free space on /var ... that should do until 14 comes out 🙂

@otte_homan Well, I still have to do the migration for my main host which runs on Debian 12. I'll do that when all my notebooks are up and running with their final configuration in place.

@publicvoit Very nice! Filed a bug report on the "L V what?" ?

@steltenpower Hm. Need to think about that.

@otte_homan @publicvoit This is how /usr as we know it today was born. “In the original Unix implementations, /usr was where the home directories of the users were placed (that is to say, /usr/someone was then the directory now known as /home/someone).” (from FHS). Your chance to keep /home/cache/apt and coin how Linux look in the future 😆

@ukleinek sudo useradd -m -h cache ... ? @publicvoit
