Things to do after installing Debian - optionally

ver. 22.02 Desktop Workstation

Add locale

preferably, do it before installing any apps

sudo locale-gen bg_BG.UTF.8

sudo update-locale LANG=bg_BG.UTF-8

sudo locale-gen

bg_BG.UTF.8 used as an example

If, for some reason that method doesn’t work, uncoment your locale from /etc/locale.gen and then:

sudo locale-gen

Don’t forget to change language, time and locale settings in the GUI system settings + add BG keyboard layout

sudo apt install linux-image-liquorix-amd64 linux-headers-liquorix-amd64
