Moved from Windows 11 to Debian

I have been on Debian for about 3 weeks now. I chose to go with the NetInst amd ZERO interfaces, just the standard apps and thats it. I wanted a NO BLOAT installation.

I ended up using labwc bundled with sfwbar, swaybg, thunar, firefox and foot as a base. I spent 1 whole week trying to use wine and other blends of it from proton to crossover without any success on installing Microsoft Office 2010, 2016 and 2021. I resorted to usw my old copy of Office 2007. I never got passed the 50% mark of 2010 and never made it further than entering the key on 2016 to be blocked because my key does not match the runnable iso I found which only accepts Pro Plus keys while I have a home and buisiness key all thanks to Click 2 Run. I actually just need PowerPoint because of some important autisric presentations I made using proprietary Microsoft PowerPoint whatevers. But since it works now, might as well use word and excel too under wine.

I am finally getting back control of my PC which I am very happy of. I can decide what stays and what does not amd sfwbar's author has made huge progress on his app. LBCrion on github has added super features and resolved many bugs. I now have a taskbar looking more like a dock without adding hordes of RAM usage.

I went from a 4Gb base Windows RAM usage to 800Mb on Debian with the basics I wrote above. I finally get to use my system resources for other apps and games.

I've already made a very specific config file for keyd which is available on github to finally use the built-in ALT+Keypad ascii codes on Linux.

I just wanted to introduce myself to this new world I am now part of.

Big D is messenger of town. After his stressful event with Helene Hemblitz, it was a sure fall in the trials. How could a woman with such a big knowledge in Foxglove flowers be so incompetent in front on a simple man trying to do his job? At the trial, we could sense Big D's fear when he talked about his interaction with her that day. And everyone was a witness from Helene's house during his mail round that he was very sweaty after interacting with her. But one unexpected name came in the trials. That name came to a surprise to everyone. Unsuspected, but a blurry photo as proof. When Big D was done at the bar, Helene Hemblitz was called back at the bar.

Ashards and Cassy were in seated near Helene's lawyer waiting for the right moment. Even though the room went silent when she entered, the judge did have a trial to continue, murders need to be solved before town gossips. But everyone did notice the look on the judge's face. How can you not look? A pretty lady, walking in a flashy red dress and high heels that make the heel sounds at every step and those eyes that you just cannot stop yourself from looking at, it's normal to pause for a moment. When she sat with Cassy, Ashards gave a small signal to Cassy to wait. We rarely saw Ashards serious but I guess trials are no smiling matter.

Helene Hemblitz was asked how to explain the death of Big D's dad because they ran some tests on the half-burnt painting and it turns out that there were traces of Foxglove on the frame. As explained in the trial, controlled dosage of that plant can be used in medicine but high doses can cause severe cardiac problems leading to death. They claimed that Helene knew that information but Helene spoke of one of her customers buying extracts of her flowers, the now retired Dr. Garry Hashford.
