Very nicely done. I like your little asides, such as mentioning that the "AMD64" is not referring to "AMD" brand processors.

Thanks for this video, I'm new to Linux and I was able to install it easily

I'm coming and going with Debian as a loyal satisfied user. Never could get rid of some compatibility issues, but figuring out.

[SarahKerrigan-clkb]

Thank you! This helped me with my college project!

Thanks for this tutorial. Very helpful, although I want to make 1 thing sure before I head-off and possibly destroy my pc.
I install Debian on a flashdrive USB stick. Then, can I install Debian from there on the SSD next to Windows on the same partition?

[jacksondestima]

Thanks for the video! Do you recommend dual boot installation?

[sight_thunder]

Hi do you have a tutorial on how to install guest addition image for debian 12?

If I want to install KDE plasma do i choose it as well as the "debian desktop environment"?? Or do I select just kde plasma. I'm unsure what the debian desktop enviroment means here.

Great video, but how many times did you say ‘go ahead’?

I'm stuck in the configure package manager stage. It cant find the archive on any of the mirrors. My machines default network card isnt supported on linux right now but i habe a toslink/realtek wifi thing plugged in. I can complete the install but i cant install a desktop environment or gui without this step working. I'm dual booting with windows.

It was a pain for me to download. It asked for more options.. like choosing OS. When choosing Linux, you have to specify from dropdown which linux, and there are many debian versions listed.. up to Debian 11. 12 wasnt even in the option, ..plus lots more.
When I chose Debian 11 from the option and proceeded forward, everything installed, took a very long time, and then went to a black screen with a blinking curser line. I dont know how to navigate with this.

Hi, I have another ubuntu installed, if I install debian 12 on another drive, how is the grub installation ? worry it may mess up my grub.

[compildesombres]

Hello, can I contact you somehow by mail, or by message because I followed all the instructions carefully and for some reason my Lenovo laptop will now boot up to debian, it stays in the setup configuration area… I’m really pissed I don’t know if I can use the laptop anymore..
