Debian 13 “trixie” is out, so why not refresh my computer and give it a spin? I actually was about to replace my daily driver computer anyway, so the release timing was perfect 🙂
Downloaded the release from debian.org and checked the amazing InstallingDebianOn project for my specific computer brand and model. My particular brand and model was not yet added to the wiki for Debian 13, but in practice that meant that all the driver issues in earlier Linux Kernels was fixed before this release.
After first setup, right-clicking on the trackpad did not work. Looked up the issue on the internet, found an answer on StackExchange. Basically a configuration error that is fixed by changing the click-method to “areas”:
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.touchpad click-method areasGNOME’s Online Accounts is steadily improving, so all my accounts were easily added, including WebDAV which now can be added as a collection instead of adding CalDav, CardDav and WebDav separately.
I installed Tailscale, which on the website does not state an installation for Debian >12. An issue in their git project states that this is fixed, but the installation script they provide does not use the new deb822-style source format. This program came in handy:
apt modernize-sourcesAnd now apt install tailscale works like a charm!
