Fresh Debian 12 (bookworm) Install

Relatively new install of bookworm. It feels good and Debian is running great on this machine.

I see that its with kde, does that come as part of the image or is it manually installed on top?
- I used the live image. There are different "flavors" for the various desktops and it uses the Calamares installer.
Awesome! Was Debian hard to install? I keep saying I'm going to try it one of these days.
- Right now's a good time. The packages are about as fresh as they'll ever be, and is fairly easy if you've installed a Linux before. You can always give it a try in a VM
  
  Thanks. I've been loving Kubuntu for the past couple of years, but it does have kind of a 'corporate' feeling to it.
  
  It's like "Hey, try our Snap packages! We've already set them as the default, because that's what our market research shows users want." "Wait, what!?"
- For what it's worth, Q4OS 5 "Aquarius" will be released within the next few weeks; it's a more user-friendly version of Debian 12 "Bookworm":

  Thanks. I've been hearing that the Debian installer was a bit difficult, but I haven't had a chance to try it yet. Q4OS looks pretty sharp.
