^ Nice. Everything working?
Just a minute...
Shut it down, folks, the year is over. Nobody has posted nearly anything as 1337 as @Döbbie03, Resident Metalhead, has consistently posted since before he switched to NixOS, let alone since he went full Gentoo. Cheers, all hail the King!
Everything working... in the LIVE session, yes, but I can't get it to build with an installer option. So, no. Fail.

^ Beautiful.
I've been building a castle in the swamp with this trixie GNOME live-build. The fourth one stayed up! debian-installer shows in, and runs from, the GRUB menu.
No configurations added, so it defaults to ugly-ish...
But, there's a wallpaper in ~/Pictures/wallpapers, there is an extension manager installed and a selection of extensions to enable as you choose, there are yaru themes and icons so you can get away from the blue, and there are some other goodies like nautilus-admin and pkexec and gnome-tweaks. Plus a very small selection of basic programs. This is not full GNOME. Anyway, 2 minutes of tweaks, since I know what I'm doing, and...
I still need to actually run the installer to make sure it works, I'll do that tomorrow and upload the ISO to SourceForge if it checks out.

I was playing with Gnome on NixOS last weekend. I still struggle with it, too many things from my dwm config that I rely on that are missing in Gnome, mainly the tiling.
I do miss the days of Gnome2.
p.s. @hhh thanks

I included the Tiling Shell extension, it can enabled via the extensions manager (also included).

Legacy BIOS only?
Booting on uEFI came up with the grub repair prompt. Booting on legacy BIOS the grub screen with installer came up.
Edit - never mind. My mistake.

@PackRat, it's sure to have weirdness and mistakes, I haven't built an ISO since the beginning of BL. I noticed that there are no sources enabled in /etc/apt/sources.list Might want to add this...
deb https://deb.debian.org/debian trixie main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
#deb-src https://deb.debian.org/debian trixie main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
deb https://security.debian.org/debian-security trixie-security main contrib non-free non-free-firmware

In spite of this, my install is running beautifully. I uninstalled ibus* and evolution-data-server and rebooted, it's pretty lean on resources...

It was my mistake; I forgot about the SDHC card in the slot and messed up the dd command and reboot.
Download again and dd to a thumb drive; all is right with the world now.
Live trixie gnome -
runs pretty smooth.
Installed to metal. No problems.
Added the sources post-install.

^ Very cool, thanks for testing! A very handsome scrot, if I do say myself. Nice to see that it runs fine with 8G (it should easily run with just 6, I'd go with BL or Xfce if I had under that in RAM).
If you want to give GNOME a fair shot...
* Super>type-to-search "ext", Enter to open the Extension Manager. Enable Dash to Panel for a start.
* Super>type-to-search "twea", Enter to open GNOME TWEAKS. Set fonts, some theme elements, autostart apps, add back the minimize and fullscreen buttons, and more.
* Super>type-to-search "shortc", Enter to open the keyboard shortcut settings. Navigation, Windows and Custom, then maybe System.
There's more, but that'll keep you busy for a minute.
Rain from that storm hitting you yet?
-edit- Also, would you post that fastfetch config, or whatever it is? I like it.

^ No rain this far inland. Just some wind. Kind of nice actually; blowing the humidity out. We were in this stagnant 90F 70% humidity weather pattern.

Ugh. Very fortunate that I get an incredible coastal breeze here. 83 having coffee outside in the morning might need a long sleeve shirt. Of course, the afternoons can be tricky.

fastfetch config:
"$schema": "https://github.com/fastfetch-cli/fastfetch/raw/dev/doc/json_schema.json",
"logo": {
"source": "debian_small",
"padding": {
"left": 2,
"right": 2
}
},
"modules": [
// "title",
// "separator",
"os",
// "host",
"kernel",
"uptime",
"packages",
"shell",
// "display",
"de",
"wm",
"wmtheme",
"theme",

"memory",
// "swap",
// "disk",
// "localip",
// "battery",
// "poweradapter",
// "locale",
"break",
// "colors"
]
}
I just use "fastfetch --gen-config" to generate the generic config then comment out the stuff I don't want to so. Need to add CPUUsage.
Removed the LibreOffice components and installed OnlyOffice (been testing them both out). No resource issues.

@PackRat, thanks. Yes, resources on this setup is sweet. I think GNOME has taken a bad rap, somehow their retarded strategy of 'this is what it is, deal with it' has actually worked in their favor, as dozens of extensions have been created. There are a handful that can totally change the desktop, and I'm here to proclaim it. I was hacking gnome-shell since it began...

Gaah! I'd kill to know where to find that icon set.
Next step, in Extensions, turn on Rounded Window Corners and Overview Background. Also Tiling Shell, if you want auto-tiling.

Add the Focus extension for some inactive window transparency...
Camera sound when I took the screenshot, nice.
-edit- I forgot to mention, with the Tiling extension, you stupidly have to enable 'Auto Tiling' under 'Behaviour' for the thing to work. I guess some Brit designed it, I don't know.

^ Nice.
@micko01, that looks great! What's the music player (I love the Pacman icon)? Also, needs more disk drives.
