    Thank you for the insight, I do wonder if VOID with xbps would be even faster than Arch 😋

      You're welcome, glad you enjoyed the video. Yes, it would be interesting to see how Void would update after two months.

    How do you setup the rdp server on debian / arch? :) Is it a gnome builtin feature?

      The Gnome DE has easy to use desktop sharing. You turn it on in the settings. To use it, the host machine must be running Gnome with the settings turned on. I show how to do it in several Gnome videos I made this year. The guest machine can be running any DE or WM but must have Gnome-connections installed or Remmina. In this video, the guest machine was using Remmina.

      I didn't understand that message. My hard drive is 1TB with hardly anything on it. The Debian installer partitioned my system and automatically gave me boot and swap partitions. I will probably replace the Debian install with Arch.

      @@linuxmench2118 It happened during initramfs generation. I’m guessing your /boot partition is full or almost full. You could uninstall older kernels that are not used anymore. You can check currently used with ‘uname -r’. To see free space on your partitions ‘df -h’. To list all installed kernels ‘dpkg -l |grep linux-image’. Always leave currently used and latest one. To remove unused packages ‘apt remove PackageName’. Debian doesn’t clean old kernels. You have to take care of it by yourself, unfortunately.

      @@linuxmench2118 I think my previous reply has been deleted. Let's try again.
      You got that message during creating initramfs. My guess would be your /boot partition has insufficient free space (check with 'df -h'). Debian doesn't remove old kernels by itself. To see the list of all kernel packages use 'dpkg -l |grep linux-image', and to see currently used one use 'uname -r'. To remove unused packages: 'apt remove PackageName1 PackageName2' etc. Always leave currently used kernel and the latest one.
      BTW, check the difference between 'apt upgrade' and 'apt full-upgrade' ('man apt'). May be important for you.

      Both your replies are showing up in my RUclips studio but are not showing up for the public under the video. I don't know why; however, over the past few months I have experienced many bugs with the RUclips message system.
      My daily driver is Arch; therefore, I know more about it than Debian. I never used apt full-upgrade; I will read the man pages to learn the difference.
      I didn't realize Debian doesn't automatically remove old kernels. That's odd because Arch does. I wonder if easier to use Debian based distributions automatically remove older kernels during updates. I'm thinking of Mx, Antix, Lmde, for example.
      At the moment that computer is off because I don't have enough Ethernet ports and wires for keeping it hooked up. I have five computers, four running Arch. I prefer to keep Debian on that computer in case some packages in my Arch systems roll too fast and stop working. One must give Debian credit for being stable. I will save your comments in a file so it's easy for me to find. Next time that computer is hooked up and turned on, I will follow your advice to see if that solves the problem. If it does, I will keep Debian on that box.
      Thanks for your comments, I appreciate it. Let me know if you receive this message.

      @@linuxmench2118 Yes, I can see your reply, and none of my messages. Maybe it's because I'm using Firefox and G doesn't like other browsers. I don't know.
      I'm most familiar with Debian because I'm using it on my servers for 20+ years, not the desktops tho. Maybe there is some tool to clean old kernels up, never heard of it.
      I was mostly on Windows but Microsoft helped me make my decision to ditch it for good. Now I'm on Arch because old Debian's kernel wouldn't recognize my monitors. Arch works well, and I must admit, I like that distro very much, especially pacman.

      Most people don't want to work in the terminal, they prefer the gui.

      I knew Arch was going to win before I began the video.
