Personally I learned the hard way by messing up my system several times 8o On the plus side though, I learned how to set up NVidia and optimize the graphics, and also how to archive the installation partition, and restore it after f***ing it up!

Yeah thats fun for sure
Maybe better then to link to some step by step guide how to identify your hardware and install correct driver the right way? I thinking from a new user perspective who is not very experienced with debian/linux to get slightly less steep learning curve.

I guess they could be more prominent, but there are several HowTo's for NVidia on these forums. Even if some a getting dated they can still give you a step-by-step.

This, for example:
HowTo: Install NVIDIA - with HoaS and damo methods.

It's a bug in current version of light-locker. Remove it, install xscreensaver and bind Super+L to
xscreenlocker-command -lock
or install some other alternative.

Debian Bug link, please? I don't have this problem. I push the power button on my laptop to see the login-screen after suspend, and any key after screen-lock blanking (I use the Windows key) to see the login-screen.

I've had this on several laptops.

Looks like it doesn't play well with systemd

^^...or, before removing and installing packages, try
dm-tool switch-to-greeter

Thanks for this info.

dm-tool switch-to-greeter

didn't work for me, I'll try the other proposed workaround

Thanks. I ended up installing slick-locker, and binding Super-L to "dm-tool lock" command.

This allows me to lock the computer manually.

However, the computer does not go to sleep anymore whenever I close the laptop lid. Any pointers about how to solve this, please?
