On December 6, Debian 11 installer alpha 3 has been released.
As I wanted to install Debian to my new laptop machine Panasonic CF-SV9, I tried it.
The result: fine.
Debian 11's Gnome desktop environment is running on my new machine now. I am keeping pre-isntalled Windows 10 pro, and the machine is Windows and Linux dual booting machine.
The installer seems matured, inspite of its version name.
But there is one drawback remaining. The circular pad built-in is not working correctly inspite of xorg synaptics input device settings written in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
It may be caused that the graphic is now under control of wayland, in place of Xorg server in my buster machine.
If you want to follow me, please take care of Windows 10's BitLocker. It will demand recovery key after your installation of Debian. Take some backups of the recovery key before hand.
Recently, the 11th point release of Debian 11 has been announced, and it will be the last one. For I am still maintaining one Debian 11 machine, I am starting to prepare its upgrade to Debian 12. Because it is a dual boot machine, I must not forget about the change of grub OS probing. Before I ugrade, I have to add GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=false to / etc/default/grub, or I lose grub menu for Windows OS. Another thing that impacts me is the change of gnome-text-editor. In Debian 11, gnome-text-editor is a kind of alias of gedit controlled under the Debian alternative system with update-alternatives command. On the other hand, a new package gnome-text-editor appears in Debian 12, and it is a different thing from gedit. For I am an uim user, I was confused when I tried to use launch a Japanese input method via uim on gnome-text-editor in Debian 12, for it wouldn't work as in Debian 11. Yes, these two things are important reminder to me.
