I have not experienced any glitches or slow-downs. Synaptic works fine now, while you could use it only in the Xorg session in Debian 10. Debian 10 refused to play some media files without the installation of the necessary codes.Īs I said in my previous reviews of Debian, GNOME was problematic in Debian 9, it became usable in Debian 10 and I think it is now perfect in Debian 11. I was surprised because I have not installed any codes after the installation. The only small issue I had was that the GNOME Software gave me this error message when I tried to update the system, while everything worked fine in the command line.ĭebian 11 was able to play all media files without complaining about codes. Now, you can follow my guide on GNOME themes and install any theme you want. The Custom Shell themes extension is not activated by default, but you can easily activate it by installing the User Themes extension:Īfter that, open Tweaks and you will find that Custom Shell themes are activated. Using them you can configure the GNOME desktop to meet your needs. And I like that because you can configure your desktop as you want. Nothing extra is installed, unlike in Ubuntu, for example. LibreOffice resizes correctly, unlike before when it became supper small after exiting the maximized window state. There is no such problem as duplicated Software entries in the Software app, which existed before. Now, after more than 2 years, GNOME has improved even more. I was happy with the GNOME 3.30 in Debian 10 if you have read my review of Debian 10. Those who run Debian on their desktop focus on productivity instead of shiny new stuff. Performance-wise Debian 11 is definitely worth upgrading. I also checked my Debian 10 review, and it seems that a fresh installation of Debian 11 also takes less space and RAM. For example, Phoronix reported that Debian 11 is 8~10% faster overall compared to Debian 10. This newer kernel brings a lot of improvements, including better performance on newer hardware. This is one of the differences between Debian and other distros such as Ubuntu, for example, which doesn’t necessarily run the LTS kernel by default. It is the LTS version of the kernel which ensures stability, reliability, and security of your system. The kernel version is upgraded from 4.19 to 5.10. Performanceĭebian 11 comes with many software updates. I hope it will become the default installer of Debian soon. But then you can test Debian in a Live session without installing it and then install it using the Calamares installer, which is very user-friendly. You need to make a number of clicks to get it. However, there is also the Calamares installer, which is available in the Live ISO version. The default installer is still outdated and confusing, especially if you have limited experience with Linux installation. That was exactly my case and I had to download the non-free ISO. There could have been an explanation that some Wi-Fi cards require proprietary drivers, and you need to use this ISO if your Wi-Fi doesn’t work with the free ISO. But I think it is still not immediately clear what this non-free ISO is. Now, it is much easier to find it than before. There is also a link to the non-free version of the ISO that includes proprietary drivers. Now, you are offered to download the netinstall image automatically after you click the Download button. Previously, it was not straightforward where to find the ISO files and which one to download. I was pleased to see that now there is a very clear download button on the main page.
