greets, everyone . . .
as a test run and experiment -- and to upgrade it -- i did a clean, fresh
install of debian bookworm -- i keep wanting to say butterbean -- on my
old but good thinkpad x200. much to my surprise, it was the quickest and
easiest linux installation i've ever done. i realize that configuration is
a whole nother story, but i'm impressed so far. there being no TDE choise,

This is really [offtopic], but why did you install any desktop when you
installed debian?
Installing debian base (internet with no desktop) boots you into a command
line. At that point all you need to do is login as root, and follow the
instauction in the link Michele gave.
Easy-peasy and you don't have Gnome's cruft (or any other DE's) to screw up
your system.
Best,
