After installing Debian

[Skybear]

I just installed Debian and found a video called “10 Things to do After Installing Debian 13."

Already I’m seeing how it is both different and similar from Mint and Ubuntu. I found it interesting, though, that I had to give myself sudo privileges.

The Debian installer allowed me to simultaneously install different DEs. I just installed it yesterday so I’ve yet to learn how to navigate between them.

If that video (or any other one) tells you to add random repositories from ubuntu, PPAs, Debian Testing or Mint, etc., do not do it.

Or do it, but read this first: https://wiki.debian.org/DontBreakDebian/

And this applies to all and any other Debian derivatives.

I don’t think I did anything like that. There were some parts of the video I didn’t feel comfortable following.

I appreciate your warning. I posted the video because I knew the people here would see things that I, as a beginner, wouild miss.
