#207457 — Buster presentation info

Hi

As previously mentioned, I am working on a basic (not too technical)
presentation for Buster.

Following the topic here on Synaptic in Buster being replaced with
gnome-packagekit

I am using LaTeX beamer for this and have included part of the table
source for a technical overview below:

Kernel & 4.x.x & supports smb encrypted shared \\
Wayland & xxx & xx \\
Gnome & 3.x  & Default Window Manager \\
gnome-packagekit & xx  & Default Package Manager \\

Does anyone know the version of Wayland being used? and what other
basic info could be included in a technical overview without
overwhelming the viewer ?

Once completed I can upload to the wiki or make generally available.

Thanks

Regards

Paul

A shipped browser(s) version, maybe? Firefox, Chromium, those things.

I have made a few updates. I am trying to write this for the Default
options so Wayland and Gnome,  so the parts about Synaptic need a few
adjustments but I am sort of getting there.   If the default or
preferred package manager (gui) is gnome-packagekit for gnome and
wayland then this is fine. 

If we were to fork and write this for xfce or lxde, then I guess the
default window back end is X and the preferred option for package
manager is synaptic. and the technical info would change accordingly. 

(I am getting confused just trying to write this)

https://github.com/zleap/DebianPresentation/blob/master/README.md

Is work so far,  please feel free to e-mail over any word / text
changes.  So far I am editing in Overleaf, downloading the zip(source)
and pdf files and uploading to github, which is not an ideal situation. 
I have not figured out how to do more advanced things in github, I can
sort of handle pull requests but end up in a right mess. 

Main issue is that netbook runs Debian10 + LXDE (not my main one as I
have one for testing buster on),  so I am going by information I can
find.   I am not too sure if my netbook would handle wayland anyway.

Hope this helps

Regards

Paul

Cool thanks, I have added a version number for Libreoffice and Firefox,
as my Debian install didn't come with Thunderbird by default. Is there a
shipped email client ?

Added a section processor architectures too and tidied other sections up. 

With regard to getting Debian I have listed

Debian Website

Vendors

Linux user groups

Conferences, events etc.

Can anyone think of anything else please

Synaptic is not being replaced. That notion is completely erroneous
AFAIK.  It has now been patched (package in unstable) so that it
provides "visual feedback while starting" (or, I suppose one might say
more pertinently, not starting) as per Paul Gevers comment on April 9 in
the synaptic Bug #818366 thread.
