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, i installed gnome
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.
