Getting Familiar With Debian Releases
Refer to Debian Releases for more information about the Debian versions, but the following ideas may guide your decision.
Stable
The whole point of Debian from day one was «Stable», in reaction to what else was existent at the time: SoftLandingSystems «SLS» and Slackware. Debian chose stability, as administrators needed for servers. Choose Debian «Stable» if you want the computer to just work for a prolonged period of time, without the risk of new packages breaking your habits or workflow. In most cases, when people talk about Debian, they are referring to Debian «Stable». The network install images for stable (bookworm) can be found at https://www.debian.org/CD/netinst/
Testing
If it is important to you to have recent packages of all the installed software continuously rolling through Debian, and you are fine with constantly downloading and installing updates that will stir up a bug at times, and you want to help squash bugs threatening to get into Stable, you may choose Debian «Testing». The network install images for testing (trixie) can be found at https://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/.
Unstable
Security note
Unstable exclusively gets security updates through its package maintainers.
The Debian Security Team only maintains security updates for the current «stable» release.
If timely and official security updates are of any importance to your use case, do not migrate to Unstable.
If it is important to you to have the absolute latest packages available in Debian, you should learn about Debian «Unstable». There are currently no network install images for Unstable. If you want to install Unstable, download the image for Stable and upgrade through Testing to Unstable by editing /etc/apt/sources.list.
Be sure you have downloaded the installer for your hardware architecture. (The i386 architecture is for both Intel and AMD 32 bit CPUs. The amd64 architecture is for both Intel and AMD 64 bit CPUs.) The amd64 architecture is appropriate for most common hardware.
There are two main choices of installation media to meet your needs:
The Network Install Image
For those with reliable Internet access using a network install image often saves time, compared with downloading some of the 650 MB ISO images. This network install ISO (called «netinst») contains only a near-minimal Debian system. During installation as many packages as you request are downloaded from the Internet. A netinst ISO image is several hundred MB but the CD or DVD images are much larger and will almost surely contain packages which are downloaded but not installed by default.
If your wireless network card is not recognized by the installer you might consider performing the installation using a wired (Ethernet cable) connection or installing using a different network card. In any case it may be preferable to install with a wired connection for bandwidth reasons or simply to defer wireless setup until after the initial installation.
If you have no way of establishing a network connection while installing then you will need to install using at least a partial set of the installation CDs or DVDs (at least Disc 1).
The Full «CD/DVD» Image
These images are for those who need all available packages that are in the current «stable» release of Debian.
Although there are over 30 CDs (or 5 DVDs) in a full set, only the first CD or DVD is required to install Debian. The additional images are optional and include extra packages, that can be downloaded individually during the installation, or later.
Free/Open Source Boot Firmware
Debian’s purpose is to provide you with a free operating system, but many people often overlook the proprietary boot firmware (e.g. BIOS/UEFI) on their systems. On some (not all) motherboards, you can install free boot firmware. This is distinct from device firmware such as WiFi firmware.
Certain projects such as Coreboot and U-Boot can provide you with FOSS boot firmware, often replacing the firmware that came preinstalled on your motherboard. These projects often provide more advanced security and other useful features.
We maintain a list of such projects on Firmware/Open — Debian does not control these projects, but you might consider installing free boot firmware alongside Debian.
Non-Free Device Firmware
Since Debian Bookworm, non-free firmware is provided on the default installation, and on installation media. The default drivers are all free software, but drivers sometimes supply firmware to the device, such as firmware for software-defined radio on WiFi cards, or perhaps microcode for certain CPUs and GPUs. These firmwares are only used when the Linux kernel determines their use, for your specific hardware; they typically do not run on the main CPU, but on a dedicated coprocessor present on the given peripheral device.
Please refer to the Firmware Page for details.
Non-free *firmware* is separate from non-free *applications*, and provided in a separate repository called non-free-firmware; the «non-free» and «contrib» repositories are not enabled by default, which do distribute certain proprietary applications, but Debian enables the non-free-firmware repository by default.
Such firmware is provided, so as to ensure compatibility with more hardware on the default installation media. Older Debian releases (prior to Bookworm) did not provide it by default, but provided special installation media with it included, or you could add it after the fact (on an installed system).
You can often determine which firmware is in use, by reading the output when running the «dmesg» command.
Debian Live images
Alternatively to the installation images mentioned above there are Live install images available.
They can start the usual debian-installer from the boot menu, but their main goal is the Live system, which starts a real Debian system directly from the iso image, without installation on your harddisk.
With this Live system, you can easily give Debian a try, and also test how well Debian interacts with your hardware.
And then there is the Calamares installer, an end-user-friendly alternative to our good old debian-installer, to install Debian on your harddisk.
To get this running, choose one of the Live iso images from https://www.debian.org/CD/live/ (it’s your choice which you prefer, but don’t choose the «standard» image for this purpose, since it has no graphical user interface), select Live system from the boot menu, and when the system is up choose «Install Debian» from the desktop.
The Calamares installer will guide you through the installation.
Creating a Bootable Debian USB Flashdrive
After downloading the .iso file, the next step is to create some form of bootable media that you can use to install Debian. The most common form of installation is from a USB flash drive. If you wish to use a CD or DVD, you can use that method as well.
To create a bootable USB drive from Microsoft Windows or Mac OS a usable choice is Rufus. Warning: Rufus has 2 writing modes «ISO» and «DD» mode, which you can select just before writing begins. For Debian installer images or Debian live images, you MUST select the «DD» writing mode — ISO mode will alter the copy of the image on the target media (confirmed August 27, 2021, using rufus version 3.15).
To create a bootable USB drive on Linux follow the installation instructions. [TL;DR cp debian.iso /dev/sdX Be cautious!]
To burn the .iso to a CD on Microsoft Windows use IMGBurn or, if using Windows 10, the builtin «Burn to disc» option when right clicking an ISO file.
Booting From a USB Flash Drive
You might also refer to UEFI, which describes how to boot specifically on UEFI firmware. UEFI is the most common boot method nowadays; this also relates to booting an installed Debian system. UEFI is distinct from the traditional BIOS method. UEFI is most common on x86-64 and increasingly many ARM64-based systems.
If you plan to dual-booting with another OS, both OSes’ need to be installed with the same boot mode. Most computers built after 2012 boot in UEFI mode, so this configuration dictates use of UEFI mode when installing and booting Debian. If the other system of your computer are installed in BIOS(legacy) mode, then you must install Debian in BIOS mode as well.
You should be able to check the current boot mode in the first few seconds of your computer starting up. Some common options include the «F2», «F8», «F12», and «Del» keys.
Debian supports Secure Boot since the Debian buster release. If problems arise during the Debian installation or the first boot process (such as failing to boot the Linux Kernel at all and/or refusing to start Debian) turn off Secure Boot before attempting anything else. Moreover, a number of devices (commonly laptop computers) present subtle bugs/limitations when operating Linux under SecureBoot, which are not present otherwise. Make sure to check your device manufacturer’s support pages.
Example: Lenovo Linux SecureBoot limitations
Once the proper boot mode is set, you are ready to start your installation. If the Debian Installer does not load, you may have to change your boot options and specify booting from USB.
Installation
Prior to making any major change to your computer you should ALWAYS backup all of your work. While the Debian Installer has been extensively tested, it cannot prevent you from making mistakes nor prevent a power failure while you are installing your new operating system.
Also, ALWAYS double check the disk you are formatting to install Debian on. Formatting another disk/partition results in unrecoverable data loss on that disk/partition.
Installation FAQ
Q: I am at the Software Selection screen in the Debian Installer, where I can choose a selection of desktop environments.
What is Debian desktop environment (the first choice)?
A: If you do NOT select any desktop environment and leave the default Debian desktop environment checkbox ticked,
you will install the GNOME desktop environment on your machine.
If you choose «Debian desktop environment» AND a specific desktop, the specific choice overrides the GNOME default.
Q: Why does my Wi-Fi not work during the installation process ?
A: If you are using a laptop computer, you might need proprietary firmware for your wireless network card to function, which Debian does not include by default.
Please refer to the «Non-Free Firmware» section above OR install Debian using a wired connection, if possible, and setup wireless after installing.
Post-Install Tips
-
If you set up a root password during install, you will find your user without sudo privileges. This is intended behaviour.
To enable sudo after a fresh install of Debian:
$ su -l # adduser USERNAME sudo # exit
- Then, log out of the desktop environment and log in again. You can check the success of the above by entering
$ groups
-
It is a canonical good practice to update your installation straight away after rebooting into your new system:
$ sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
-
SSD performance
The default scheduler/IO settings for Debian are optimised for maximum stability and good throughput.
More SSD performance may be achieved, by performing some steps to optimise your system for SSDs.

ToDo | CategoryObsolete — this page needs a thorough rewrite
Задача:
Дано:
- Есть лицензионный диск с Windows 7 или ISO-образ этого диска
- Есть флешка, превосходящая своим объёмом размер диска или ISO-образа
- Есть ноутбук, или системный блок, на который нужно установить Windows
- Есть компьютер с установленным Debian GNU/Linux (в моём случае 8.0)
- Нет привода для чтения дисков, ни встроенного, ни переносного
- Нет компьютера с установленной Windows 7
Найти:
- Как записать дистрибутив Windows 7 на флешку, чтобы с неё можно было загрузиться?
Решение задачи:
Подготовка
1. Для начала, если у вас диск с Windows 7, то нужно создать из него ISO-образ.
Для этого можно просто выполнить в консоли команду:
# dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/home/user/windows7image.iso
разумеется, диск должен быть вставлен, а устройство, которое представляет собой CD-ROM должно быть в /dev/cdrom. Если нет — узнайте где оно (например /dev/sr0) и измените строку.
Путь к файлу тоже стоит установить свой собственный, врядли в системе вас зовут user.
2. Установка ПО:
Установим Unetbootin, который понадобится для создания загрузочного диска, и какую-нибудь утилиту для разбивки диска, в моём случае это partitionmanager (из набора KDE), также, полным аналогом является gparted, а если вам проще разбивать диск в консоли через fdisk или cfdisk — можете вообще не ставить никаких GUI-инструментов для этого.
# apt-get install unetbootin partitionmanager
Первое форматирование флешки
Обычно на флешках нет таблицы разделов, а, вместо этого, вся флешка отформатирована в FAT32. Нам нужно создать на ней таблицу разделов, один единственный раздел, и отформатировать его в FAT32.
Это нужно для того, чтобы обмануть Unetbootin. В чём заключается обман, будет объяснено похже.
С помощью partitionmanager, gparted или fdisk нужно сделать следующее:
1) Если на флешке нет таблицы разделов — создать её. Тип таблицы разделов — DOS
2) Создать Primary раздел, занимающий ВСЁ место, и отформатировать его в FAT32
3) Включить на разделе флаг Boot
После того, как эти задачи будут выполнены — нужно
4) Выдернуть флешку и вставить её обратно
Запуск и обман Unetbootin
Unetbootin в своей работе нуждается во флешке, отформатированной в FAT32, однако, чтобы флешка с файлами Windows 7 стала загрузочной, она должна быть отформатирована в NTFS. А c NTFS наш Unetbootin, начиная с какой-то древней версии, не работает. Сделано это потому, что драйвера NTFS в Linux долгое время были не очень стабильными и надёжными, а в проблемах, возникающие из-за этого, винили Unetbootin. Также, сделать загрузочную флешку с Linux’ом (для чего изначально предназначался Unetbootin) в файловой системе NTFS не получится.
В связи с вышеописанным, Unetbootin НЕ УВИДИТ вашу флешку, если она будет отформатирована в NTFS.
Итак, запускаем Unetbootin, заранее вставив подготовленную флешку.
1. В нижнем поле «Носитель» должно появиться ваше устройство, с именем, похожим на /dev/sdc1, выбирайте его.
2. Поставьте галочку около пункта «Образ диска»
3. Справа от этого пункта, нажав на кнопку «…» выберите файл ISO-образа.
4. Всё! Больше пока НИЧЕГО нажимать не надо! Закрывать Unetbootin тоже не надо!
«Подстава» NTFS
Теперь, когда Unetbootin уверен, что ему дали правильное FAT32-устройство, нужно сменить файловую систему на NTFS
1. Если флешка была примонтирована — отмонтируем её.
2. Запустил partitionmanager или gparted, форматируем раздел на флешке в формат NTFS. Если лень запускать GUI-приложения, можно сделать это командой:
где вместо sdX1 нужно подставить имя вашего устройства, например sdc1.
3. После форматирования, вытаскиваем флешку, и вставляем её обратно, после чего монтируем. В KDE, Gnome и прочих *DM вы легко это сделаете одним кликом мышки. В консоли же старая добрая команда:
# mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/flash
Итак, после монтирования флешка всё ещё имеет то имя устройства (скажем /dev/sdc1) про которое помнит Unetbootin, но уже имеет другую файловую систему. На самом деле, Unetbootin’у всё равно какая ФС на флешке, ведь он просто копирует файлы в папку, куда примонтирована флешка.
Завершение
1. В окне Unetbootin нажимаем «Ok» после чего начинается процесс копирования установочных файлов Windows на флешку.
2. По завершению Unetbootin предлагает перезагрузиться, что нужно делать только в том случае, если Windows вы хотите установить на тот же самый компьютер.
3. Если перезагрузку вы не нажали — перед выдёргивание флешки не забудьте её по-хорошему отмонтировать.
Можно устанавливать
Если компьютер не грузится с флешки — нужно настроить его BIOS соответствующим образом, либо выбрать вариант загрузки с флешки, нажав на начальном экране BIOS’а кнопку F10 или F12 (у каждого производителя это что-то своё).
The other day, I was planning to install the Proxmox server on my laptop, and the problem with the Proxmox is that you cannot install Proxmox alongside windows 11. When you try to dual boot, the Proxmox ends up taking all the hard disk space deleting the windows files, and you end up with the Proxmox server. So I decided to install Debian 11 on my windows 11 machine as dual boot. So anytime I want to play games, work with office 365 I could use my windows 11 machine and if I want to accomplish some Linux-related stuff, I could shut down the windows 11 operating system and switch to Debian 11.
In this blog, let’s look at the installation of Debian 11 alongside windows 11 using dual boot.
Before you begin, you need to have;
- Debian 11 iso image – we need to create Debian 11 USB bootable image with the iso file. Click here to download it. Make sure to choose the AMD64 DVD iso image.
- Rufus software- click here to get it. This tool will make the USB a bootable drive.
- USB drive with at least 4GB of storage to make the Debian 11 bootable.
- A machine with windows 11/10 – The steps mentioned here are identical to Windows 10, so either windows 11 or 10 would work fine.
1. Make Debian 11 bootable USB.
We have already downloaded Debian 11 on my machine. Let’s go ahead and make the bootable USB out of it.
Plugin the USB thump drive and open the Rufus software.
- Select the device – Under device, make sure you choose the right USB drive to make it bootable.
Note: All the files in the USB drive will be deleted upon creating a bootable drive. So please take a backup before you proceed.
- Boot selection – This is where you need to attach the Debian 11 iso image to the rufus software. Click on select, and choose the ISO file you downloaded.
- Click on Start.
You will get a prompt that says ISOHybrid image detected, so from the list, choose Write in ISO image mode and click on Ok.
After a few seconds, you will get a warning, which says all the data in the drive will be formatted, so ensure that you have taken the backup of all your files from the USB drive and then click on Ok.
After this, the USB drive will be formatted, and the Debian ISO image will be copied to the USB drive and convert it as bootable.
Depending on your machine hardware and the USB speed, this process will take some time
Once it is completed, you will see the status changed to Ready, and you may safely remove the USB drive now from your machine.
2. Allocated drive space for Debian 11.
I have a machine with 500GB of storage, completely used by windows 11 OS. We are now going to split the Drive into two, in which on the second partition, we would give about 200 GB out of 500GB for the Debian storage.
Click on Start and type computer management, and open it.
The computer management windows would now open up.
Click on Device management.
In the disk management, you will see the OS is occupied mostly by the SSD hard disk, we are going to shrink the volume and get 200GB out from windows 11 and assign it to Debian.
Right-click on the OS Partition, and click on Shrink Volume.
In the shrink volume pop-up, under Enter the amount of space to shrink in MB, we enter 204800, equivalent to 200GB.
After that, click on Shrink.
After a few seconds, you will see the windows hard disk size reduced to 276Gb and you have free unallocated space of 200GB, which you can use to install the Debian in it.
During installation, ensure to select the newly created bootable media.
3. Change the bootable media from HDD to the new USB drive.
On the machine where we are going to do dual boot with Debian 11 and windows 11. plugin the bootable USB device. Your windows 11 operating system will boot from the hard disk storage where you have installed the operating system. So we need to tell the bios that, instead of booting into the hard disk where you have installed the windows 11 OS. Choose a USB bootable drive instead.
You may start the machine and press f2 to get into the bios.
I am using an Asus machine, and I could get into the bios by long-pressing the f2 key during the system startup.
Each vendor has a different way to get into the bios.
Under boot selection, choose the newly created USB drive as the bootable location and save it in the bios. My USB drive name is Sandisk and as you can see, I changed the priority of the boot by moving up.
The system will now boot into USB drive, and the Debian 11 installation will now progress.
4. Start the Debian 11 installation.
On the Debian installation screen, choose Graphical install.
Select a language of your choice.
Specify your location.
Configure the keyboard language.
In the Detect network hardware windows you will see some of the wifi drivers are missing, you may choose no here, which we can take care of it later.
You need to make sure that you are connected to the LAN cable. After few seconds you will see the network is configured on the Debian 11 machine and it will get an IP address from the DHCP service.
5. Configure the hostname and DNS.
By default, the installer would choose Debian as the hostname, and you may change it according to your environment.
Enter the domain name.
If you have a domain name in your network, you may enter it here and click on Next.
6. Configure the Root password.
In Debian, you will create two accounts; one is for the root and another for a regular user. Let’s go ahead and set up a password for the root account.
7. Setup user account.
We have set the password for the root account. Let’s set up the normal user account.
Enter the user’s full name that you will create and click on Continue.
Set the username.
You will require to set the username of the normal account and click on Continue.
Set the password for the newly created account.
8. Set the timezone.
We now have to set the time for your Debian machine, and it is done using the NTP service.
In the configure clock section, choose the desired time zone. And click on continue
9. Configure the hard disk.
The disk partitioner wizard will now open up. Here we need to configure the hard disk that we allocated in the Windows disk manager for the Debian 11, which is 200GB.
In the partition disks,
Choose Manual and continue.
As you can see, we have 214.7 GB available for free, where we can install Debian 11.
We will give 185GB for the ROOT and 22GB for HOME rest for the swap memory in our setup.
Setup Root storage.
By selecting the free space, click on Continue.
Create a new partition and click on Continue.
In the new partition size, enter 185.0 GB and click on Continue.
Choose Beginning, for the location for the new partition. And click on Continue.
You can see, the new hard disk size allocated to the root directory, you may now click on Done setting up the partition.
If you would like you can resize the partition based on your requirement.
Configure the home storage.
The home directory creates all the user accounts, and the user files are saved. Since it will be a single user on this machine, I will allocate only 22GB for the home directory. Which is more than enough.
As you can see, still we have 29.8 GB of storage available to use, select the free space and click on Continue.
Choose create a new partition and continue.
I have given 22.0GB of storage, and click on Continue.
Choose Beginning for the new partition location and continue.
You can see, by default the newly added partition mapped to the home directory.
You may click on Done setting up the partition.
Configure the SWAP memory.
You are now left with 7.8GB of free space, which we will allocate to the swap memory.
Select the free space and click on Continue.
Choose create a new partition and click on Continue.
Select the new partition’s size as 7.8GB, which is left in our hard disk, and click con continue.
In the partition summary, you can see the newly added partition mapped to /usr directory. We need to tell Debian to use the new partition as a swap area.
Choose the Use as Ext4 jounaling file system and click on Continue.
In the how to use this partition, choose the SWAP area from the list and click on Continue.
In the swap area partition summary, choose done setting up the partition and click on Continue.
We configured the storage for the Debian 11 machine, and you now have the hard disk configured with root, home, and swap directories.
Scroll down and select Finish partitioning and write changes to disk, and Continue.
You will be asked that the hard disk will be formatted. You may choose yes here.
The partition formatting will start now, after which the installation will continue.
10. Continue with the Debian installation.
The installation is now started. You will be asked to configure the package manager, which is required to install the software packages and dependencies.
Choose yes, and continue.
Choose the mirror nearest to you.
Select db.debian.org, which is the good choice.
In the proxy configuration, enter the proxy address if you are using a proxy; else just leave blank and click on Continue.
In the popularity contest, choose no, unless you want to participate.
The installation will continue, and you will be required to choose what packages you would like to install.
Apart from the default selection, I have also selected the SSH server, which required for me to ssh into the Debian machine.
After a few seconds, you will get the installation is complete message, and when you click on Continue, it will reboot the machine.
When the Debian system is restarted, it will use its bootloader and ask you which operating system to load.
If you choose Debian GNU/Linux you will get the Debian operating system. If you choose windows boot manager, then it will take you to the windows operating system.
If you don’t choose after a few seconds, it will auto-select the Debian11.
Congrats! You have successfully installed Debian 11 on your machine using the dual boot. Anytime you want to switch to windows11, you just reboot the Debian operating system and choose windows boot manager at the boot screen.
Linux debian is a Unix-like computer operating system that is composed entirely of free software for which some people are indulging it. To experience the debian operating system features, you should know how to create a Linux debian bootable USB disk first. In this post, we would talk about how to create a Linux debian bootable USB disk with different operating systems.
- Part 1: Create a Linux debian bootable USB disk with Mac
- Part 2: Create a Linux debian bootable USB disk with Linux
- Part 3: Create a Linux debian bootable USB disk with Windows
Preparations:
Linux debian ISO files
A USB drive with enough free space.
Step 1: Open a terminal. Before inserting the USB key, check which disks are available with the under commands.
diskutil list
Typically, you can see all the disks in your Mac.
Step 2: Insert the USB drive. Type the “diskutil list” command again. You should see one more disk which is your USB drive.
Step 3: Then we should convert the ISO file to an image by using the under command.
hdiutil convert -format UDRW -o debian-8.0.0-amd64-netinst.img debian-8.0.0-amd64-netinst.iso
Step 4: Remove the default file extention added by Hdiutil with the under command.
mv debian-8.0.0-amd64-netinst.img.dmg debian-8.0.0-amd64-netinst.img
Step 5: Write the image to the USB drive with under command.
sudo dd if=debian-8.0.0-amd64-netinst.img of=/dev/disk2 bs=1m
Attention: In this case, /dev/disk2 is my USB drive name, the debian-8.0.0-amd64-netinst means the debian version, you should adapt it to your condition.
Once the Linux debian bootable USB disk is created, the Mac OS will ask you if you want to eject it. just click yes. Then this disk is ready to use.
Part 2: Create a Linux debian bootable USB disk with Linux
Step 1: Mount your USB drive and make sure Linux recognizes your device.
Typically, you can find your USB drive in the path /dev/sd* once you mount it to Linux. Be aware of that sometimes the name of your USB drive would be displayed on sdb or sdc.
Step 2: Localize your IOS file just downloaded in Linux.
If you’ve downloaded Debian to your Downloads under home directory, it should look similar to:
Step 3: Open terminal and type command sudo dd if=[path_to_iso] of=[path_to_usb].
When the command is done, your Linux debian bootable disk is ready.
Part 3: Create a Linux debian bootable USB disk with Windows
Step 1: Insert a 2GB or larger Flash Drive for Debian Live installation requirements.
Step 2: Download a Debain img and save it to your desktop.
Step 3: Download the Win32 DiskImager and extract its content to a folder on your computer desktop.
Step 4: Run the Win32Diskmager.
You would simply find a prompt telling you that an error occurred when attempting to get the device information. Just click OK to continue.
Step 5: Follow the instructions to create a debian bootable USB disk.
- Browse to and select your Debian-Live image file.
- Select a USB device.
- Click Write to write the image to the device
