Thank you for sharing this and thank you for your words.
As a pensioner I have nothing else to do... ha, ha, ha.
Debian is still at 6.6.5![]()
Whatever floats your boat bro :-)
We know Debian has other priorities. I think if one don't have a new hardware, there's no reason to rush.

BTW, you shouldn't go so deep, that looks very good to me...
Thanks, I appreciate the compliment, yadda yadda yadda.
I am very superficial, I hate everything official.
Thick border with rounded upper corners but square lower corners. The first part (thick border) is probably configurable (I haven't checked it out yet), but the second criticism (mosmatched corner-rounding) is a pet peeve of mine. One or the other, mixing it just looks wonky to me. Add the all-right-angle, no-border inactive window and I hate it, perfect tiling can't save it. Fugly. What's with the tint2 style but not as useful panel? Lol, it slpits when you add a second window. Fairly useless.

Now I've done it, I've installed TileOS (Niri Edition). Some Russians made the only current Debian-based, tiling WM OS that I'm aware of (also comes in MiracleWM and Sway Editions, and qTile or something. tile-os.com) Preconfigured panel! Wallpaper is set! A popup with keyboard shortcuts! Debian! It's not the devs fault their government is a piece of doodoo, I can relate. I live in the US.

Very interesting. ![]()
Is the ISO multilingual? Which file manager and editor?

You can manually install niri on Debian. Google search will give you step-by-step instruction.

^ I've done it, you start with a black desktop. I wanted to see what this pre-configured, Debian-based release was.
@unklar, nautilus for files, I'll report back about the editor. -edit- Pluma. It handles language like standard Debian, pick your language at install and go from there.

Thanks!
The installation was a bit tricky (because I don't know much about efi and calamares (I hate that thing)). ![]()
I swapped Nautilus and Pluma with Thunar and Mousepad.
Right now you've changed(?) the repo and I'm struggling with autostarting keepassxc, which was only in the bar once. ![]()

Edit: While searching for the causes of an "unsigned repo" I just noticed that the 2.1 version of TileOS was released yesterday.
https://downloads.tile-os.com/stable/niri/
Don't understand why the 'old repo' immediately becomes 'unsigned' and apt refuses to update. ![]()

...the editor. -edit- Pluma.
Pluma seems to be a mainstream editor these days - add it to the autoconfigured editor options for bl-text editor (along with geany emacs gedit jedit kate mousepad scite featherpad)? Any other candidates?

To make it an even ten? Helix for another terminal option?

I use gedit, or mousepad, or nano, so maybe I'm not the best in this category. I'll take 'Pop!_OS' for 1,000, Ken.

Yeh, but Helix is a terminal editor like vim or nano (right?). bl-text-editor is a GUI editor like geany, and sure enough gedit or mousepad. But not nano.
But there is bl-cli-editor which brings up whatever is set as the "editor" Debian alternative. If you set bl-cli-editor as your alternative for bl-text-editor then text files clicked in a file manager will come up in a terminal running nano, or vim, or whatever you've got "editor" set to. Which could be helix.
So there are two BL alternatives:
bl-text-editor
and
bl-cli-editor
