Install a new Debian

On a laptop, I typically use https://cdimage.debian.org/images/unofficial/non-free/images-including-firmware/ to get the Wi-Fi firmwares.

Pin default release

echo 'APT::Default-Release "bullseye";' > /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/00default

Then add sid (for firefox, at least):

deb https://deb.debian.org/debian sid main
deb-src https://deb.debian.org/debian sid main

Packages I typically use

apt-get install \
    arandr \
    bash-completion \
    build-essential \
    curl \
    ecryptfs-utils \
    emacs-nox \
    feh \
    firefox \
    fonts-liberation \
    fonts-symbola \
    git \
    git-completion \
    i3 \
    i3lock-fancy \

    keepassxc \
    libbz2-dev \
    libffi-dev \
    liblzma-dev \
    libncurses5-dev \
    libncursesw5-dev \
    libpq-dev \
    libreadline-dev \
    libsqlite3-dev \
    libssl-dev \
    llvm \
    make \
    network-manager-gnome \
    python-openssl \
    python3-venv \
    rxvt-unicode \
    tk-dev \
    unifont \
    wget \
    xautolock \
    xorg \
    xz-utils \
    zlib1g-dev

and update-alternatives --configure x-terminal-emulator to choose urxvt.

Install my dotfiles

sh <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JulienPalard/dotfiles/master/install.sh)

Packages I may need

apt-get install firmware-iwlwifi
apt-get install firmware-nonfree
apt-get install laptop-mode-tools
apt-get install opensc opensc-pkcs11  # For yubikey

What I typically do on a new laptop

• Change grub sleep time in /etc/default/grub (and run update-grub)
• Set Option "Tapping" "on" for touchpad in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-libinput.conf
• (May have to change button map, like xinput set-button-map 12 1 2 2 4 5 6 7, use xev from x11-utils to see button ids).
