edafe.deHow to install Debian 13 Trixie with a GNOME desktop<a href="https://linuxiac.com/debian/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Debian GNU/Linux was first released in 1993</a> and has been under active developement ever since. Today, the Debian Project unites thousands of contributors from across the globe with the aim of producing “<a href="https://www.debian.org/intro/why_debian" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">an operating system distribution that is composed entirely of free software</a>“.This guide is intended to assist those who are installing Debian for the first time. It maps out a straightforward path to a <a href="https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2025/03/gnome-48-best-new-features" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">GNOME desktop environment</a> with only essential applications pre-installed. Choose from 69830 official Debian packages to tailor the system to your own requirements.<a href="https://edafe.de/debian-howto" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">edafe.de/debian-howto</a>Debian and the new package formatsDebian stable is, above all else, focused on the task of maintaining bug-free software packages. It is the reason why Debian, in over 30 years, has gained a reputation for being “<a href="https://www.theregister.com/2021/06/16/debian_11/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">like a rock in an ever-swirling sea of updates</a>“. It is also the reason why Debian stable does not keep up with the latest versions.<a href="https://dmnfarrell.github.io/software/linux-packaging" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Universal package formats</a>, such as Flatpak, Snap, or AppImage, are managed separately from <a href="https://www.linode.com/docs/guides/linux-package-management-overview/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">conventional packaging systems</a> and thus provide the end-user with added flexibility and choice. They solve the problem of stale distribution packages because newer versions can be installed without compromising the integrity of the underlying Debian core.Before you beginIn addition to the target computer, you should have reasonably fast Internet. Connect your device to your router using an Ethernet cable. If your laptop does not have a built-in Ethernet port, look for a Linux-compatible USB to Ethernet adapter, such as the <a href="https://www.startech.com/networking-io/usb31000s2" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">StarTech USB31000S2</a>, <a href="https://www.tp-link.com/de/home-networking/mobile-accessory/ue300c/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">TP-Link UE300C</a> or <a href="https://plugable.com/products/usb3-e1000" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Plugable USB3-E1000</a>.Veronica explains <a href="https://tinkerbetter.tube/w/7WGxMuybNwfDm5buJL8nCB" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">how to create a bootable USB stick for installing Linux</a>. Depending on your requirements, there are different Debian CD images to choose from. In all likelihood, you are following these instructions to install on x86-64 hardware, for which a <a href="https://www.debian.org/CD/netinst/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">netinst CD image amd64 would be the correct choice</a>. It supports Intel as well as AMD processors and “includes non-free firmware for extra support for some awkward hardware”.In the instructions which follow, <code>debian</code> is used as the hostname and <code>trixie</code> as the username. You will have an opportunity to set your preferred values at the end.Choose 1) an encryption passphrase to encrypt your storage device, 2) a user password to secure the <code>trixie</code> account, and 3) a root password to secure the <code>root</code> account.Ensure that all of your data is safely backed up because formatting your storage device will erase all of its data.After completing the installation, Debian GNU/Linux will be the only operating system on your computer.Installing Debian GNU/LinuxIf your computer uses the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI), “<a href="https://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstall#Booting_From_a_USB_Flash_Drive" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">turn off Secure Boot before attempting anything else</a>“.Step 1After booting the system from the USB stick that you have prepared, continue by selecting the text based installer.Step 2Keep <code>English</code> as the language for the installation.<pre>[!!] Select a language Language: English</pre>Step 3Keep <code>United States</code> as the location for your system. This will also set United States as the default locale for the system environment. You will have an opportunity to set additional locales and adjust time zones at a later point during the installation.<pre>[!!] Select your location Country, territory or area: United States</pre>Step 4Use the keymap that is right for the layout of your particular keyboard.<pre>[!!] Configure the keyboard Keymap to use: keymap for your specific keyboard</pre>Step 5At this point, the installer may prompt you for missing firmware.<pre>[!] Detect network hardware Some of your hardware needs non-free firmware files to operate. The firmware can be loaded from removable media, such as a USB stick or floppy. Load missing firmware from removable media? No</pre>Step 6You may be asked to select the primary network interface for use during the installation.<pre>[!!] Configure the network Primary network interface: eny7ace2eag34hc: unknown interface wlp1s0: Wireless Network Adapter (wireless)</pre>If network autoconfiguration fails, go back and try another interface from the list.<pre>[!!] Configure the network Network configuration method: Retry network autoconfigurationRetry network autoconfiguration with a DHCP hostnameConfigure network manually Do not configure the network at this time Go Back</pre>Step 7Set the hostname for your system. In this example, we use <code>debian</code> as the hostname.<pre>[!] Configure the network Hostname: debian Continue</pre>Set the domain name for your system. If you are setting up on a home network, you should <a href="https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8375" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">use <code>home.arpa</code> as the domain name</a>.<pre>[!] Configure the network Domain name: home.arpa Continue</pre>Step 8Leave the root password empty to ensure the standard user account will automatically be <a rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://wiki.debian.org/sudo" target="_blank">configured with <code>sudo</code> privileges</a>.<pre>[!!] Set up users and passwords Root password: leave empty Continue</pre>Confirm the empty root password.<pre>[!!] Set up users and passwords Re-enter password to verify: leave empty Continue</pre>Step 9Create the standard user. In this example, we use <code>Trixie</code> as the full name.<pre>[!!] Set up users and passwords Full name for the new user: Trixie Continue</pre>Continue with <code>trixie</code> as the username.<pre>[!!] Set up users and passwords Username for your account: trixie Continue</pre>Set a password for the new standard user.<pre>[!!] Set up users and passwords Choose a password for the new user: trixiepassword Continue</pre>Confirm the password for the new standard user.<pre>[!!] Set up users and passwords Re-enter password to verify: trixiepassword Continue</pre>Step 10Keep <code>Eastern</code> as the time zone for now.<pre>[!] Configure the clock Select your time zone: Eastern</pre>Step 11You may wish to partition your disk with LVM and <a rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Encryption_Standard" target="_blank">protect your data with a 256 bit AES key</a>.<pre>[!!] Partition disks Partitioning method: Guided - use entire disk and set up encrypted LVM</pre>Be careful to select the correct target device for your system.<pre>[!!] Partition disks Select disk to partition: your target disk for installation</pre>Choose to keep all files in one partition.<pre>[!] Partition disks Partitioning scheme: All files in one partition (recommended for new users)</pre>Now write the changes to disk.<pre>[!!] Partition disks Write the changes to disk and configure LVM? Yes</pre>You may skip the overwriting of the disk with random data by selecting <code>Cancel</code>. Be aware, however, that skipping this step will lessen the quality of the encryption.Step 12Enter your encryption passphrase.<pre>[!!] Partition disks Encryption passphrase: yourpassphrase Continue</pre>Confirm your encryption passphrase.<pre>[!!] Partition disks Re-enter passphrase to verify: yourpassphrase Continue</pre>Step 13Use the available space to partition your disk.<pre>[!!] Partition disks Amount of volume group to use for guided partitioning: max Continue</pre>Step 14Review partitions and mount points suggested by the installer.<pre>[!!] Partition disks Finish partitioning and write changes to disk</pre>Confirm writing the changes to disk.<pre>[!!] Partition disks Write the changes to disks? Yes</pre>Step 15You may be asked to scan additional installation media.<pre>[!] Configure the package manager Scan extra installation media? No</pre>Step 16Select your archive mirror country from the list.<pre>[!] Configure the package manager Debian archive mirror country: your country</pre>Select an archive mirror from the list. Use the site that is closest to you.<pre>[!] Configure the package manager Debian archive mirror: mirror closest to you</pre>Proceed without providing any HTTP proxy information:<pre>[!] Configure the package manager HTTP proxy information (blank for none): leave empty Continue</pre>Step 17The Debian Popularity Contest <a rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://popcon.debian.org/" target="_blank">attempts to map the overall usage of Debian packages</a> with information from installed systems, such as yours.<pre>[!] Configuring popularity-contest Participate in the package usage survey?
