That's the story of the movie "Click"

I would like to default to debian 12 if I have to start fresh.
The Ganeti Cluster was installed on Debian 10 then when 11 launched, I upgraded it. It's a 10 nodes cluster and I just don't have time to upgrade it yet. The last update to 11 took me a week to troubleshoot.
What we use in my office, depends on the type of servers:
- For virtual server (we made a golden template of it) we use Debian 12
- For virtualization host/ganeti cluster we use Debian 11
- For NAS, we use OpenMediaVault (based on Debian)
I'm an admin of a self hosted iRedMail (with iRedAdmin Pro).
My advice is: Don't.
Getting an email server running is easy. Managing them is not.
There are some good advice here. Use commercial service with personal domain.
I second every suggestions about Libreoffice. It's free, open source and works in Windows, MacOS and Linux.
The problems lies in the different rendering engine. If you have table of contents, floating image and anything that impact text flow; it will be rendered differently between the two apps.
I still use Libreoffice as my primary editor, but if I need to send docs to other people, I will export it to PDF. But if I really need to send docx or pptx, I will format it in WPS office before sending the docs to others.
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.
Well, there is a J-Novel with title Didn't I Say to Make My Abilities Average in the Next Life?! where the world average takes into account the state of the absolute maximum and the absolute minimum.
So an average strength human would be between an amoeba and a dragon.
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.
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.
