4) If you want to dual boot, then I do not see issues using Debian Bookworm to do this. I would boot into Debian (i.e. Grub), from where I select either Windows or Debian. If my primary use is Windows, then I edit grub to boot to Windows first. I have not had issues with UEFI lately, I believe Debian handles this well.
Arghh... dual-boot, not double-boot - sorry for a wrong email subject ;-)
Now I've got a similar config: UEFI boot with GRUB with both entries: Trixie and Windows, but Windows cannot boot (BSOD). Do you have any ideas how to proceed and recover Windows system?
Hmmm... in case of a whole desktop system (KDE Plasma) I guess it is not a matter of single package (or a few of them) from backports, but rather a lot of them with inter-dependency. That's why I think it would be better to start with Trixie if I want to have KDE Plasma 6, right?5) I use Debian Bookworm as I like stability. Testing means things will break. Trixie is currently in testing. I rarely need the latest software. I sometimes use backports. https://backports.debian.org/Instructions/ As a matter of Backports policy, packages in the stable-backports suite are taken from Debian testing; however, in rare cases such as security updates, packages are taken from unstable.
6) What GUI have you decided to use? While I use XFCE, I recommend KDE to people, particularly when moving from Windows to Linux. In fact KDE is so nice now, maybe I will start using KDE too? (I want both, and I do use both, but on different computers)
Exactly. KDE Plasma 6 is awesome!
I hope my comments helps you when trying Linux/Debian.
Of course! Thank you for all comments and suggestions!
