I'm using an AMD Ryzen iGPU on Wayland. I switched to Testing because the support already existed, but the kernel and mesa versions in stable were buggy for my particular GPU and I didn't want to make a FrankenDebian.

Debian can still work, but you'd have better chances with legacy LXDE, or starting with no DE and installing IceWM.

Q4OS Trinity, antiX, and Damn Small Linux are all Debian derivatives known for being able to run on very old systems, and they're among the most lightweight distros I know that are still functional for most purposes.

Unsure if this is what you're looking for, but I've seen some FOSS projects use https://www.makedeb.org/ and https://openbuildservice.org/ to create public Debian repos.

It's just a future, and can be changed. I'm not aware of any objective in-universe measure of what is and isn't the prime timeline, it's really just what the writers choose to depict as such, which events are altered by time travelers and which ones stand. Since we've seen a full two seasons in this version of the 32nd century, it's more likely that future shows will try to keep consistent with it, but it's also possible they'll be "retconned" into an "alternate reality".

I unfortunately haven't found that many I can remember. But a comment on Busybox cat that linked to a talk titled "cat -v considered harmful" did send me down a rabbit hole once.

I was dualbooting 2 Linuxes for a long time. All that you need is to install GRUB once on one of the distros, but having two or more bootloaders in the same EFI System partition is generally harmless, and might happen due to how some distros' installers are written. In that case the BIOS boot order will decide which one to use. Either way, you only need one boot partition.

It is safe to delete all partitions on your hard drive if and only if you have backed up any important data on them. It's basically the same as installing a new hard drive. The installer for your distro will be able to re-create all of them.

I have personally never used a shared /home between multiple distros, but based on my experience switching desktop environments, there are likely to be conflicts between files that lead to bugs. Arch and Pop!_OS will have vastly different versions of most software, and it's possible that changes to a config file in one distro may break the program in the other. Shared /home is better for if you have just one OS installed, and reinstall it occasionally.

Debian's preinstalled software on some desktops is one of my main problems with the distro and one of the reasons I hesitate to recommend it to newbies, so I like the idea behind something like this or SpiralLinux, but I wouldn't use either distro myself, because I find that the more a distro deviates from upstream and adds its own configurations, the harder it is to troubleshoot issues or configure them the way I like.

As for Xebian, I don't see the point of trying to make Debian Sid easier to install. It's a development release, guaranteed to have many bugs, and not really suitable for the average user. If you can't install and "declutter" sid yourself, it's better to be using the latest stable or even testing release.

How was the screen rotation? I am mostly using mine flipped with a second monitor.

Automatic screen rotation wasn't exactly smooth, but it did work, and I didn't experience any major issues because of it. I'd imagine it's better now.

Also, what year was the HP ENVY?

Somewhere around 2018 I think, it was a while ago. But you can test in the live environment to see if the hardware support is still as good as it was.

I'm having trouble reading the announcement; does this mean any extension I use on Firefox for Linux, I might be able to use on Android? LibRedirect is the main one I care about right now
