- Protected apt repository writes across modules/repos.sh by adding `|| return 1` to `_write_deb822()` and `_write_classic()`, ensuring script continuation on failure instead of aborting under set -e.
- Added idempotent backup restoration in restore_previous_repos() with `sudo cp ... || true` and `sudo rm ... || true` to prevent fatal errors during repository recovery operations.
- Implemented rollback mechanism in migrate_to_branch() by wrapping _write_branch_sources() in a conditional check, restoring backup on failure and returning error code 1.
- Hardened firmware installation flow in modules/firmware.sh with `|| true` guards on all apt commands (broadcom-sta-dkms, network firmware packages, backports/stable paths), preventing set -e aborts during package management.
- Secured modprobe operations by adding `|| true` to wl module loading and blacklist file writes, ensuring wireless driver installation proceeds even if kernel module operations fail.
- Added GPU tools installation protection in _helpers.sh with `|| true` guard on vainfo command execution after nvtop installation completes successfully.
- Fixed NVIDIA Wayland configuration in modules/gpu/nvidia.sh by adding `|| return 1` to nvidia-wayland.conf tee operation, preventing silent failures when writing modprobe configuration files.
- Implemented network warning notification before Broadcom wireless module removal to alert users of potential SSH disconnection during WiFi driver transitions.
- Added broadcom blacklist file protection with `|| true` guard on modprobe.d/blacklist-broadcom.conf writes to prevent script termination on filesystem errors.
- Standardized error handling patterns across all firmware and GPU modules, replacing direct command execution with conditional wrappers that maintain script continuity under failure conditions.
- Resolved Firefox installation conflict: the "both" selection no longer triggers duplicate dialogs or cancellation; the installer now passes the resolved choice to both Mozilla and ESR installers, preserving co-installation without redundant prompts.
- Fixed bugs across Debian 11/12/13 scripts:
- Migrated `migrate.sh` to write classic `.sources` format for Debian 11 and skip the security stanza for SID.
- Corrected non-free token matching in `firmware.sh` to avoid false positives on non-free-firmware-only systems.
- Added `sudo` to `broadcom-combo.conf` creation and fixed `/etc/modprobe.d` directory handling.
- Fixed write propagation in `repos.sh` to prevent silent failures on user rejection.
- Corrected PipeWire state detection for Debian 11 and added SID security stanza exclusion.
- Added LXDE desktop environment option to `debianito.sh`:
- New "LXDE (Full)" and "LXDE Core" options in the Desktop Environment menu.
- Both options install `lightdm` in a single `apt-get install` call and enable the service via `systemctl enable`.
- Includes debconf preseed for LightDM default display manager selection.
- No extra packages, no Openbox/LXDE configuration changes.
- Added `_radiolist()` helper to `utils.sh` for safe radio-list cancellation under `set -e`.
- Added `lxde_menu()` to `desktop_display.sh` with exact 2-option radio list, single-shot dispatch, and clean `return 0` on cancel.
- Added `_install_lxde_full()` and `_install_lxde_core()` with `debconf-set-selections`, single `apt` call, and `systemctl enable lightdm` post-install.
- Removed dead Broadcom hardware IDs (4357/4358/4360/4727) from `_is_broadcom_b43`, retaining only valid ID 4352 to eliminate false positives in the case statement.
- Added a guard in `_handle_wireless` Level 3 to verify `linux-headers` availability via `apt-cache policy`. Skips DKMS compilation if headers are missing, preventing transaction failures during installation.
- Implemented Broadcom combo card detection (WiFi + Bluetooth) by scanning `PCI_BT_DEVS`. Automatically writes `/etc/modprobe.d/broadcom-combo.conf` with `softdep wl post: btusb` and warns users about potential reboot requirements.
- Enhanced Level 2 (`firmware-b43-installer`) with post-installation validation for `/lib/firmware/b43`. Provides clear recovery instructions via `sudo dpkg-reconfigure firmware-b43-installer` if the directory is empty or missing after installation.
- Created a new helper `_msg_red()` in `utils.sh` to handle critical error messages with colored Whiptail output, replacing standard alerts for migration warnings and failures.
- Updated `repos/migrate.sh` to use `_msg_red()` for branch migration warnings and failure states, ensuring visibility of critical issues while keeping completion messages informative.
- Verified headless mode guards across 16 separate extras files (`office.sh`, `fetch.sh`, `cursors.sh`, etc.), preventing unnecessary package installations on servers without display environments.
- Completed syntax verification (`bash -n`) across all core and extra modules, ensuring no errors in the updated logic for firmware, gaming, swap, or repository management scripts.
- update readme.md
- Fixed script crashes from `whiptail` Cancel/Esc under `set -e`. Added `_menu()`, `_checklist()` and `_inputbox()` wrappers with `|| true` to prevent premature exits.
- Resolved startup failures by using defaults instead of relying on unset variables with `set -u`.
- Hardened sudoers management — `_validate_sudoers()` writes to temp file, validates with `visudo -cf`, only copies if successful.
- Replaced `eval` in `_run_cmd` with safer `bash -c` execution.
Swap Management Module (`modules/swap.sh`)
- New standalone module with 9 internal functions and `manage_swap()` entry point.
- Btrfs CoW detection — applies `chattr +C` before swapfile creation to prevent mkswap rejection on Btrfs.
- Dynamic swappiness configuration — reads current system value instead of hardcoding 60, pre-fills inputbox with existing setting.
- Uses `/run/lock/debianito-swap.lock` for early init compatibility (added as option 9 in main menu).
Repository & Branch Migration (`modules/repos/migrate.sh`)
- Handles branch migration from stable (11/12) to Testing or SID with 5-screen UX flow.
- Persistent backup system — creates timestamped tar.gz backups of `/etc/apt/sources.list*`, auto-restores on apt update failure.
- SID guardrails — installs `apt-listbugs` and `apt-listchanges` before upgrade to warn about critical bugs in unstable packages.
- Dynamic menu options based on Debian version (SID shows only 1-2-3 Exit, non-SID includes backports + branch migration).
- New `_components_enabled()` helper detects current contrib/non-free state.
Gaming Module Overhaul
- Unified gaming checklist — merged i386 toggle into single prompt with lazy evaluation instead of separate pre-check.
- Lazy 32-bit architecture enablement — only enables i386 when needed (steam/lutris/i386 selected) and installs graphics drivers if `need_32bit=true`.
- New `_install_nvidia_32bit()` helper with proper driver detection, version pinning, and legacy/tesla variant handling.
Heroic & OpenRGB Downloads
- Heroic — fetches latest release from GitHub API using `jq` to extract amd64.deb URL, validates with `dpkg-deb --info`.
- OpenRGB — downloads from Codeberg Gitea API with SHA256 verification when available, fallback to `dpkg-deb` validation.
- Dynamic codename detection — now detects Bookworm vs Trixie at runtime instead of hardcoded static values for .deb download URLs.
|Other Improvements
- Renumbered main menu: 8=ZRAM, 9=Swap Management, 10=Extras, 11=Boot Rescue, 12=Exit.
- Improved `detect_storage()` — excludes loop/CD-ROM devices via `lsblk -e 7,11`, explicitly skips zram, detects USB/SD via `/sys/block/$name/removable`.
- Standardized SCROLL_HINT across all files with centralized readonly variable.
