Re: General Questions
I use Debian on my PC not as a server.
Using Debian for PC OS is not good? Is it recommended only for servers?
And about third question, I mean: dwm and awesome wm. They will be supported in future too?
It turns out you need free firmware to use wifi? But I can use wifi, but only with some DE. I just can't use it just from the start without DE.

According to <https://www.debian.org/releases/bookworm/amd64/ch03s04.en.html>
256 MB is the absolute minimum amount of RAM for installing bookworm
on an AMD64 machine, using the text installer and no GUI packages.
However, if one is trying to set up a low-memory server of some kind,
especially in a virtual machine or similar environment, that's an
entirely different line of questioning.
I'm guessing that's NOT the goal here, because the OP mentioned WiFi.
This leaves me somewhat perplexed.
