I will exclude my attempts to install debian Trixie since it is still in development however the net install doesn’t seem to be working at all.
So I tried debian bookworm the live disc. It did install fine. Everything worked until I first booted the system. All I could see was some (fuck you Nvidia) Nvidia errors and that it couldn’t start the ssdm so it threw me into the tty however debian per default disables the root account or whatever and the other account wasn’t in sudoers file yet. So I couldn’t log in into tty.
New install borked and no way of fixing Nvidia drivers…
So I used the normal image of debian. Then it worked.
if a user is not in the sudoers login as root and edit your /etc/sudoers. look for the line that starts with “root ALL =…” copy and paste it below with root replaced with your username
edit: nevermind I missed the part that said disabled the root account. that’s weird not sure why you wouldn’t be able to access root unless maybe a typo during password creation
On a different note.

Ahh, the quintessential debian initiation, welcome to the club.
It isn’t the first time for me installing debian, but back then you hadn’t even the option of a live disk or sth like that.
Yeah, kernel is currently incompatible with driver. I’m manually booting -17 currently.

Nah debian on first install disabled tty completely. Probably sth. That gets setup later but it crashed before that
