Mason Pines<p>On my spare <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Thinkpad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Thinkpad</span></a> P52s laptop, I've installed <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Debian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Debian</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Trixie" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trixie</span></a>, using the alpha installer.</p><p>I've tested the advanced installer because I wanted to check if the systemd-boot loader works during installation, which it does.</p><p>I'm staying with <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/XFCE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>XFCE</span></a> because I tried both <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/KDE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>KDE</span></a> and <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/GNOME" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GNOME</span></a>, and both have issues for me, with the former being a little unstable in its current transition state.</p><p>But all things considered, <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Trixie" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trixie</span></a> is looking to be a solid release. In <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/XFCE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>XFCE</span></a>, it's been as rock solid in use as my <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Bookworm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Bookworm</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Stable" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Stable</span></a> installation on my main desktop.</p><p>The only small niggle I'm currently checking is that the external 4K monitor sometimes doesn't correctly set after login on power up with the laptop lid closed. It is set as Primary display, without mirrored displays, so each can have unique settings and resolution.</p><p>I'll keep doing twice-weekly updates on <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Trixie" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trixie</span></a> and see how things go. Any bugs, I'll check if already logged or otherwise log new ones. But so far, as I say, I've had none.</p>
