Using ansible will help you on your 2nd, 3rd , nth install.

But getting ansible to do what you want (plus testing) for the first time would takes 10x longer than manual install.

I think there’s xkcd about that.

It should be fine with gnome and Wayland.

But, if you use KDE Plasma and Wayland, don’t install Nvidia proprietary driver.

I have to get back to KDE Plasma 5 and XOrg until Plasma 6 is released.

The only time I got my grub overwritten was when I have to update bios/firmware from Windows. After bios/firmware update, the update app always restore windows boot manager and I need to reinstall grub from live environment.

We need to consider truck-kun factor, where the developer get isekai-ed.

Not on Debian, but I got this freezing with KDE Plasma Wayland with Nvidia driver. KDE Plasma Xorg works though.

My Intel iris laptop works fine with KDE Plasma Wayland.

OOT. My phone autocorrect Xorg to corgi 😂 but I cought it before sending.

At least with clonezilla you can have a bootable backup.

With rsync, you have to boot to a live medium, reinstall boot loader and adjust the UUID in the fstab.

This. And you can install Microsoft Edge on Linux. (Bing chat go BRRR)
