Debian Setup

Scripts to configure Debian SID.

Software

The strategy is to:

• Use native packages minimally for core functionality to reduce conflicts
• Install desktop software via Flatpak for library isolation and security
• Manage common/daily tools using mise
• Use AppImage and DEB files as last-resort alternatives
• Source plugins directly from Git repositories
• Install programs via script only when it's the optimal method

GPU Drivers

Separate installers are provided for AMD and NVIDIA:

• AMD: Uses native Mesa drivers
• NVIDIA: Uses proprietary drivers

Desktop Environment

Currently configured for GNOME with environment-specific settings.

Plugins

Script installs/configures plugins for:

• VS Code
• Zsh
• GNOME extensions
• Other tools

Dotfiles

System settings are managed entirely through dotfiles, installed and configured using RCM.

Manual Usage

Execute:

make run

mise tasks ls

Script Usage

The setup can be installed via install.sh.
