Is there a better option than flickr for displaying pictures on here, a free one if possible? I'm not overly happy with flickr myself but my Photobucket account got binned when I neglected to keep up my subscription.

Think you need to make your album public if anyone can see it whether or not they are logged in so found this on how to set pictures in your flickr album to be viewable by anyone as by default new albums are set to private:

Of course leave any albums private for those pictures that you don't want anyone to see

Permissions:

Make sure all the photos in your album are set to be public. All private photos will not display in the gallery.

Note: The following steps are for accounts that have at least one album already created.

    In the top menu, navigate to You and select Albums
    Select the album
    Select the Edit in Organizr
    Click the Batch edit dropdown and select Change Permissions
    Ensure that Anyone (Public) is selected
    Add additional settings as needed (restrict commenting and notes, tags, etc.)
    Click Change Permissions
    Click Thanks!

Hope this helps you @Colonel Panic.

Thanks. I don't expect I'll stick with flickr after my free trial period runs out though; it's hardly worth it for me with the small number of pictures I want to display online. I'm looking for a good free service, preferably one which stays free (as Photobucket didn't).

Flickr has a free account that allows you up to 1,000 photos but will display with ads. Imgur and imgbb so far still are free and are useful. I used to use both Imageshack and Photobucket and they are now pretty expensive for a hosting service so I dumped them when they went paid.

Like the look of this one too. It's getting harder and harder with distros now to stay away from either GNOME or KDE; most of them now seem to rely on libraries and software from one or the other. Of the two, I think KDE works better but they're both heavy on resources, which is a consideration for those of us with older computers.

Bummer that the Debian Installer messed up at bootloader stage three times. It looks like the Linux kernel it tries to install is v5.10.8 or something much older than the current Debian "Bullseye" revision 22. No thanks I'm glad I have BL Beryllium which works.

I have Bullseye #!++ iso that installs fine, if you want it.

Sorry I was confused with the MIA SharpBang for a moment.

That looks pretty nice and great it's on a Debian rather than *cough* Ubuntu *cough* base.
