- `.github/workflows/ci.yml` added as a new workflow: job `lint-and-test` on `runs-on: ubuntu-latest` with `container: debian:trixie`, checking out via `actions/checkout@v4`, installing `bats` and `shellcheck`, running `shellcheck --severity=error debianito.sh modules/**/*.sh` (with `shopt -s globstar`) and `bats tests/`.
- `debianito.sh` CLI parser: `AUTO_YES=0`, `ALLOW_DESTRUCTIVE=0` declared after `MODULES_DIR` and before `_boot_mark`; `_usage()` prints `Usage: debianito.sh [OPTIONS]` with `--yes`, `--allow-destructive` and `--help`; the `while [ $# -gt 0 ]` / `case` loop consumes `--yes` and `--allow-destructive`, prints `Unknown option: $1 (run with --help for usage)` to stderr and `exit 2` for unknown flags, and `--help|-h` runs `_usage` then `exit 0`.
- `modules/utils.sh`: new global `_SELECTION_CONFIRMED=0` and `_confirm_install_list()` (utils.sh:756-785), which renders items capped at 15 with `... and N more`, computes `height` capped at 24, calls `_confirm "$title" "$list" "$height" 65`, arms `_SELECTION_CONFIRMED=${#items[@]}` on yes, and returns 1 for an empty list or on decline. `_install_pkg()` (utils.sh:789-804) decrements the countdown instead of prompting, and only prompts via `elif ! _confirm "Install: ${pkg}" "Install ${pkg}\nVersion: ${ver}?"; then return 0`.
- Bulk retrofit in `modules/extras/**/*.sh` (18 sites): `_confirm_install_list "Título" "${array[@]}" || return` placed right after the `whiptail` selection is parsed, the install loop left intact, and `_SELECTION_CONFIRMED=0` after the loop. Files: office/office.sh:101, system/software_centers.sh:29, system/system.sh:133, communication/communication.sh:68, design/design.sh:42, download/download.sh:48+55, terminals/terminals.sh:31, security/security.sh:30, players/players.sh:20, themes/fonts/fonts.sh:32, dev/dev.sh:44, programming/programming.sh:57, themes/desktop-themes/desktop-themes.sh:30, fetch/fetch.sh:41, themes/icons/icons.sh:47, themes/cursors/cursors.sh:28, internet/internet.sh:197, java.
- `modules/bullseye/extras.sh` (13 sites) plus `modules/bullseye/legacy.sh` (1 site, `install_gaming_bullseye`, guarded with `if [ ${#_install_pkgs[@]} -gt 0 ]` so a i386-only selection does not blank the summary) plus `modules/desktop_display.sh` (1 site, XFCE Custom — a no-loop `_run_cmd` batch with the reset immediately after it). Special cases: download.sh and bullseye/download each have two checklists merged into one combined summary; legacy.sh gaming skips the reset when the list is empty; XFCE Custom resets before `_xfce_polkit_rules` so the counter cannot leak.
- `modules/desktops/desktop_gnome.sh` (new): `gnome_menu()` runs a `_radiolist` with "1" "GNOME (Full Desktop)", "2" "GNOME Core (Minimal Install)", "3" "Back", then `_install_gnome_full()` and `_install_gnome_core()`. Each arms `_confirm_install_list "GNOME Full Desktop" gnome gdm3 || return` (core: `gnome-core gdm3`), keeps an already-configured display manager via `_existing_display_manager` by setting `target_dm="$keep_dm"`, writes the preseed `echo "${target_dm} shared/default-x-display-manager select ${target_dm}" | sudo debconf-set-selections`, installs `sudo apt install -y gnome gdm3` / `gnome-core gdm3`, enables `gdm3` only when `target_dm = "gdm3"`, resets `_SELECTION_CONFIRMED=0` and calls `_offer_pipewire_after_desktop`.
- `modules/desktops/desktop_kde.sh` (new): `kde_menu()` runs a `_radiolist` with "1" "KDE Plasma (Full Desktop)", "2" "KDE Plasma Desktop (Minimal)", "3" "Back"; `_install_kde_full()` and `_install_kde_minimal()` arm `_confirm_install_list "KDE Plasma Full" kde-standard sddm || return` (minimal: `kde-plasma-desktop sddm`), preseed `sddm shared/default-x-display-manager select sddm`, install `sudo apt install -y kde-standard sddm` / `kde-plasma-desktop sddm`, enable `sddm` only when it is the target DM, reset the counter and offer PipeWire.
- `modules/desktop_display.sh` `desktop_environment_menu()`: `env_items+=("3" "GNOME")`, `env_items+=("4" "KDE Plasma")`, `env_items+=("5" "Back")`; the case adds `3)` loading `gnome` via `_load_module gnome || continue` and calling `gnome_menu`, and `4)` loading `kde` via `_load_module kde || continue` and calling `kde_menu`; the dead TODO comment was removed.
- PipeWire retrofit in `modules/desktop_display.sh` (6 sites): `_install_lxde_full`, `_install_lxde_core`, `_install_xfce_full`, `_install_xfce_minimal`, `_install_xfce_wayland` and `_install_xfce_custom` each call `_offer_pipewire_after_desktop` after their install block.
- `_offer_pipewire_after_desktop()` and `_existing_display_manager()` added at the end of `modules/desktop_display.sh`: `_offer_pipewire_after_desktop` checks `pipewire-audio` (`pipewire` when `DEBIAN_VERSION = 11`), returns 0 via `is_installed`, otherwise `_confirm "PipeWire Audio" "No PipeWire audio server is installed.\n\nInstall the PipeWire audio stack (recommended)?"` calls `_install_pipewire_standard` and returns 0. `_existing_display_manager` reads `${DM_FILE:-/etc/X11/default-display-manager}`, reads the basename as the DM, and otherwise scans `gdm3 lightdm sddm greetd gdm` with `systemctl is-enabled`, printing nothing when none is found.
- `_ensure_apt_updated` added before the GNOME/KDE `apt install` transactions (4 sites, deduplicated per session); `gnome gdm3` and `kde-standard sddm` are installed alongside even when another display manager is kept as the default.
- Extraction to `modules/desktops/`: `desktop_lxde.sh` (38 lines) and `desktop_xfce.sh` (119 lines) created with the `lxde_menu` / `_install_lxde_full` / `_install_lxde_core` and `xfce_menu` / `_install_xfce_full` / `_install_xfce_minimal` / `_install_xfce_wayland` / `_install_xfce_custom` / `_xfce_polkit_rules` blocks moved verbatim; both carry `# License GPL v3` in their headers.
- `modules/desktop_display.sh` reduced from 542 to 394 lines (−154): lines 55-208 removed, the dispatch (desktop_display.sh:39-46) replaced with `_load_module xfce || continue` / `lxde_menu`, and the file left with `manage_desktop_display`, `desktop_environment_menu`, `display_manager_menu`, `lightdm_config_menu`, `configure_greetd`, `configure_gdm3`, `configure_sddm`, the two shared helpers.
- `modules/utils.sh` `_load_module` map: `xfce)` → `${MODULES_DIR}/desktops/desktop_xfce.sh`, `lxde)` → `${MODULES_DIR}/desktops/desktop_lxde.sh`, `gnome)` → `${MODULES_DIR}/desktops/desktop_gnome.sh`, `kde)` → `${MODULES_DIR}/desktops/desktop_kde.sh`; deps for `xfce`, `lxde`, `gnome` and `kde` are `(desktop_display audio)` and `desktop_display` is `(repos audio)`.
- `modules/desktops/desktop_xfce.sh` `_xfce_polkit_rules()` writes `/etc/polkit-1/rules.d/85-suspend.rules` and `89-backlight.rules` via `sudo tee`, adds the `backlight` group with `groupadd --system` fallback, adds the real login user from `/etc/passwd` to `backlight` and restarts `polkit.service`.
- ES→EN user-facing strings: 14 strings across 4 files — `desktop_display.sh` `lxdе_menu` ("LXDE (Full Desktop)", "LXDE Core (Minimal Install)"), `gpu/nvidia.sh` Kepler legacy-driver notice ("Kepler GPU detected (GKxxx)… Install the legacy driver for Kepler?"), `bullseye/legacy.sh` ("Install NVIDIA driver?", "Skipping NVIDIA driver.", "Installing NVIDIA driver ${gpu_gen}...") and `bullseye/extras.sh` ("firmware-linux-nonfree provides drivers for… Install?").
- ES→EN internal comments: ~35 comments across 9 files — section headers in `_install_nvidia_standard`, `gpu/_helpers.sh` (lines 5, 113), `gpu/nvidia.sh` (lines 8-12, 19-22, 68-70, 167-172, 196, 239-253, 262-263, 275, 291, 336-338, 376), `gpu.sh` (lines 15-17), `bullseye/repos.sh` (line 2), `firmware.sh` (line 235, "--- Load verification ---"), `utils.sh` (lines 129, 132, 153 — timezone Paso 1/2/4) and `utils.sh:546,548`.
- set -e abort fix: `debianito.sh:149` now reads `_system_preferences_menu || true`, consistent with the other dispatch chains (14 of the 15 chains already had the guard); a declined pre-apply summary now leaves the TUI alive instead of terminating the script.
- `docs/desktops_display.md`: 4 hunks — intro now lists GNOME/GNOME Core/KDE Plasma/KDE Plasma Desktop/XFCE/XFCE Wayland/XFCE Custom/LXDE, a new "Modular layout" paragraph describing `modules/desktops/` and lazy loading, Block 1 rewritten into four environments, five new bullets (pre-apply summary, existing-DM preservation, PipeWire offer, stale-lists guard) and a Desktop Environment Packages table.
- `docs/quickstart.md` line 284: Desktop Environment entry expanded to pick from XFCE (full / minimal / Wayland `labwc` on Trixie / custom checklist), LXDE (full / core), GNOME (full / core) or KDE Plasma (full / minimal).
- `_existing_display_manager` now takes the config path via `local dm_file="${DM_FILE:-/etc/X11/default-display-manager}"` so the offline test suite never reads the real system file.
- `tests/test_helper.bash`: added `_mock_systemctl()` for `is-enabled` (units in `MOCK_SYSTEMCTL_ENABLED` report `enabled`, everything else `disabled`), `MOCK_SYSTEMCTL_ENABLED=""`, `WHIPTAIL_CALLS`/`MOCK_WHIPTAIL_OUTPUT`/`MOCK_WHIPTAIL_RC`, `MOCK_DPKG_INSTALLED` and the `systemctl` entry in the mock list and in `mock_reset()`.
- `tests/desktops.bats` created with 16 tests: `_existing_display_manager` (file read, file-preferred over an enabled unit, enabled-unit fallback, candidate order, missing file, nothing configured), `_offer_pipewire_after_desktop` (5 tests: skip-installed, accept-installs, decline-returns-0, Bullseye package name, wrong package name on 11), `_load_module` (4 tests for xfce/lxde/gnome/kde) and an unknown-module case; 17→33 tests total.
- `.github/workflows/ci.yml` shellcheck severity raised from `--severity=error` to `--severity=warning`.
- `debianito.sh`: `RED`, `GREEN`, `YELLOW`, `CYAN` and `NC` plus `AUTO_YES`, `ALLOW_DESTRUCTIVE` and `DEBIAN_CODENAME` are now `export`ed as cross-file globals.
- `modules/utils.sh`: `HAS_NVIDIA`, `DESKTOP_ENV`, `AUDIO_SERVER`, `DEBIAN_VERSION` and the other cross-file globals are `export`ed.
- `modules/extras/system/software_centers.sh` gained a `#!/usr/bin/env bash` shebang.
- `shellcheck` triage (v0.11.0, baseline `--severity=warning` 25 findings → 0): removed two dead-code lines (`headless` in `extras/dev/dev.sh`, orphan `dev_id` in `firmware.sh`); `SC2206` in `extras/dev/essential.sh` fixed by expanding `$comp_pkgs` to `"${comp_pkgs[@]}"`; `SC2010`/`SC2046` (3 sites) replaced `ls … | grep` with `compgen -G "…"`; `SC2155` (2 sites, `gpu.sh` and `rescue.sh`) split command substitutions into separate lines; `SC2166` in `repos.sh` replaced `-o` with `{ … || … }`; `SC2221`/`SC2222` (2 sites, `sysinfo.sh` and `utils.sh`) collapsed the `wl*|wlp*|wlo*|wlan*` alternation to `wl*`; `SC1090` in `extras.sh` gained a justification comment on the disable directive.
- Final verification: `bash -n` on all 15 modified `.sh` files and `set -euo pipefail` at `debianito.sh:3` both intact; `bats tests/` reports 33 ok / 0 failed; invariants `offers 11`, `confirm_install_list 39` and `_SELECTION_CONFIRMED=0 40` hold.
- Resolved NVIDIA driver management issues by expanding package detection patterns (including nvidia-open and nvidia-kernel-open-dkms), enhancing purge process to ensure clean uninstallation of v590/595 drivers, and adding conditional skip for manage menu when no driver is installed.
- Enhanced Firefox variant selection in internet.sh using exact token matching (grep -qx) instead of substring search to prevent incorrect removal or unintended ESR/Firefox conflicts.
- New XFCE install option with 4 options
- Restructured Desktop Environment into two-level menu system with dispatcher and Xfce sub-menu for scalability, enabling future additions like GNOME/KDE without disrupting existing flows.
- Added Polkit rules in desktop_display.sh to grant suspend permissions without password prompts on laptops, including idempotent group (backlight) creation and user membership management with || true fallbacks.
- Enforced LC_ALL=C LANGUAGE=C environment variables for all dpkg-reconfigure commands across System Preferences and utils.sh to ensure native dialogues run consistently in English.
- Fixed kernel backports menu option availability to only appear on Debian 13, preventing errors on Debian 12 where backports repositories are EOL.
- Improved ZRAM module initialization sequence by ensuring swapoff and zram module removal occur before writing new configuration files to prevent race conditions during system setup.
- Fixed `set -euo pipefail` crashes across hardware detection: Added `|| true` guards to all `nvidia-smi`, `dpkg -l`, `apt-cache policy`, and `nvidia-detect` pipelines in `sysinfo.sh` (3 lines) and `gpu/nvidia.sh` (7+ lines).
- Created new Audio & Sound module (`modules/extras/audio/audio.sh`) with Debian version-specific logic: Bullseye basic mode vs Bookworm/Trixie standard PipeWire stack, plus ALSA utilities, pavucontrol, pulsemixer, playerctl. Added menu entry "14 Audio & Sound".
- Migrated Flatpak from System Tools to Software Center category. Renamed menu to "Software Center & Flatpak", converted single-select to multi-select checklist in `software_centers.sh`, removed logic from `system.sh`.
- Implemented robust time synchronization: New `_ensure_time_synced()` function in `utils.sh` forces NTP active, validates timezone with interactive `dpkg-reconfigure tzdata` if needed, restarts `systemd-timesyncd`, and verifies sync status. Replaced `check_system_time` call in main script.
- Fixed System Info network detection: Removed hardcoded 2-line height limit (now dynamic via terminal size), fixed hard-coded array indices to use progressive counters for multiple interfaces including USB WiFi adapters.
- Fixed Mesa 32-bit dependency conflicts by removing mesa-va-drivers from gaming setup; mesa-libgallium now includes VA-API for Mesa >= 25.3.3, resolving solver errors with backports (Mesa 26.x).
- Removed corectrl detection and installation from AMD tools in gpu/amd_intel.sh (retained in System Tools checklist only).
- Added zutty terminal emulator option alongside alacritty for Debian 12+ in terminals.sh.
- Overhauled Kernel menu: replaced "Backports Kernel" with "Kernel" submenu offering Stable, RT, Cloud, and Backports options; removed hardcoded Debian 11 restriction (backports hidden only on Bullseye); headers now installed automatically with all kernel variants; NVIDIA warnings added for Backports (DKMS required) and RT (driver compatibility note).
- Implemented AMD GCN legacy driver migration: is_amd_legacy_gcn() function detects GCN 1.0/1.1 GPUs via whitelist of 85 PCI IDs; offers user prompt to force amdgpu module with GRUB parameters (radeon.si_support=0, radeon.cik_support=0, amdgpu.si_support=1, amdgpu.cik_support=1); safe sed-based injection into GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT with backup and idempotency check.
- Standardized UI across 27 checklist locations: unified text to "Check [*] the packages you want installed/updated on your system."; removed SCROLL_HINT variable entirely from all code; changed OK button to "Apply" in _checklist() and _inputbox() only (not in _msg/_menu).
- Reordered gaming menu checklists: i386 moved to top position, steam/mangohud positioned immediately after for better dependency flow.
- Enhanced kernel installation prompts: all variants (Stable, RT, Cloud, Backports) now display candidate version numbers in parentheses using apt-cache policy and madison queries.
- update readme
- Bug Fixes: Rewrote `install_gaming_bullseye()` in `modules/bullseye/legacy.sh` to use a unified `_checklist` flow (matching Debian 12/13) with automatic i386 architecture detection and driver installation. Fixed greetd "Back" menu crash on Debian 11 by adding version-specific conditional logic in `desktop_display.sh`. Corrected ZRAM text overflow in `zram.sh` using `\n` line breaks for terminal wrapping. Updated Kernel Backports warning message in `debianito.sh` to clarify Bullseye limitations.
- Architecture & Repositories: Refactored Debian 11 repository configuration (`configure_repos_bullseye`) to reuse modern submenus (`_repos_enable_components`, `_branch_migration`), eliminating ~44 lines of hardcoded logic and duplicate source list management. Restricted `non-free-firmware` component availability to Debian 12+ in `modules/repos.sh`. Implemented mandatory `apt autoremove -y` and `apt autoclean` execution immediately after enabling non-free/contrib components (`_repos_enable_components`).
- UI & Menus: Added a new "Communication" menu (Option 4) between Internet and Media Players, featuring Signal, Telegram (with Trixie backports warning), and Hexchat. Moved all terminal emulators from System Tools to the "Customization System" -> Terminals submenu (`modules/extras/terminals/terminals.sh`) with version-specific logic (Alacritty 12+, Blackbox/Ptyxis 13+). Added Joplin installer in Office & Productivity for Debian 12/13 only. Integrated Synaptic into Software Centers menu alongside GNOME and Plasma stores. Unified Essential Pack UI across versions, switching between `fastfetch` (Trixie) and `neofetch` (Bookworm/Bullseye).
- Hardware Drivers: Replaced deprecated `install_gpu_drivers()` in `modules/gpu.sh` with `_install_amd_intel_stack()` and `_install_nvidia_stack()`. Implemented specific logic for Debian 13 (Trixie): Blackwell GPUs now enable the official NVIDIA CUDA repository; Maxwell/Pascal on Backports forces a stable kernel path to ensure driver compatibility. Deprecated `install_nvidia_driver()` in favor of new stack functions while preserving global state variables (`NVIDIA_DRIVER_MODE`).
- Utilities & Cleanup: Added `gdebi` and `bleachbit` to System Tools (GUI-only). Standardized menu headers across 15 files using a centralized `SCROLL_HINT` variable. Ensured VLC installation is conditional on headless status checks in Essential Pack modules.
- LightDM Overhaul: Rewrote `install_lightdm()` logic to verify both lightdm and lightdm-gtk-gtk-greeter-settings. Now installs the trio in a single command if missing, skipping only when fully present. Added "Enable autologin" option modifying `/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf` with robust `sed` patterns for `SUDO_USER`. Fixed missing `debconf-set-selections` to ensure LightDM is set as default during installation.
- GDM3 Implementation: Created a new sub-menu in `modules/desktop_display.sh` allowing independent installation of GDM3, User List toggle (hide/show), Autologin configuration via `/etc/gdm3/daemon.conf`, and conditional "Force Enable Wayland on NVIDIA" for Debian 12/13 using udev symlinks.
- SDDM Integration: Added SDDM as option 3 in the Display Manager menu. Implemented automatic session detection (Wayland > X11) to populate `/etc/sddm.conf.d/autologin.conf` without user input, defaulting to plasmawayland, lxqt-wayland, or generic fallbacks.
- greetd support: Added conditional support for Debian 12 and 13 only. Implemented sub-menu with base install, recommended `tuigreet` (with backports handling for Bookworm), and other manual setup options (`gtkgreet`, `nwg-hello`, `wlgreet`) exclusive to Trixie.
- ZRAM UX Improvements: Updated descriptions in `modules/zram.sh` to explicitly mention I/O reduction and responsiveness benefits for low-RAM systems (e.g., 4GB). Cleaned up compression algorithm labels (`lz4`, `zstd`) to remove redundancy in menu values.
- General Code Quality: Standardized all user-facing messages to English across modules. Ensured independent package installation checks prevent script abortion if one DM fails, while maintaining strict error handling for system configurations.
- update docs and readme
- 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.
- Created standalone modules/bluetooth.sh for `_install_bluetooth_stack()` with desktop-aware frontend selection (bluedevil/KDE, blueman/XFCE/other). Extracted from `firmware.sh`, reducing it from 438 to 369 lines.
- Added `detect_desktop_environment()` and `detect_audio_server()` functions in `utils.sh` with new globals `DESKTOP_ENV=""` and `AUDIO_SERVER=""`.
- New `found_active_wifi` flag detects Qualcomm Atheros AR9485 PCI chips without loaded firmware, displaying `(no driver — install firmware)` instead of silently disappearing. Auto-installs `firmware-atheros + firmware-linux-nonfree` after Firmware & Wireless Setup.
- New `is_nvidia_blackwell()` detects GPUs in ranges `0x2900–0x29BF` and `0x2B80–0x31FF`. Added `_enable_cuda_repo()` helper for extrepo-based CUDA installation with APT pinning. DKMS verification blocks added to all `_install_nvidia_*` functions.
- Standardized repository enablement across 7 modules using `_enable_*_repo()` helpers:
- `internet.sh`: Firefox/Floorp/LibreWolf, Pale Moon, Tailscale, Mullvad VPN/Browser, ProtonVPN
- `jellyfin.sh`, `programming.sh` (VSCodium), `java.sh` (Temurin)
- New `extras/office/office.sh`: OnlyOffice + LibreOffice with language detection
- The main script was reduced from 233 to 137 lines. Created new `modules/sysinfo.sh` (97 lines) for `_show_sysinfo()`. Source chain: `utils.sh → sysinfo.sh → sudo_config.sh → repos → firmware.sh → bluetooth.sh → gpu.sh → kernel.sh → gaming.sh → extras.sh → zram.sh → java.sh`.
- Renamed menu to `"Firmware, Wireless & Bluetooth"`. Translated NTP dialog (English), basic programs install message, and NVIDIA 32-bit legacy messages.
- Replaced the restrictive head -n1 hardware parsing with a dynamic while read loop. The script now fully detects and registers multiple coexisting GPUs (Intel+Nvidia / AMD+Nvidia).
- Rewrote install_gpu_drivers() in modules/gpu.sh from a mutually exclusive case block to independent, sequential if conditions. Laptops now install both integrated firmware (Intel/AMD with non-free VA-API acceleration) and dedicated graphics stacks (Nvidia driver + 32-bit libs for Steam) seamlessly in a single pass.
- Improved Nvidia Kepler architecture guards under Debian 13 (Trixie). The script now safely skips missing legacy Nvidia packages without aborting or crashing the remaining Intel/AMD configurations.
- Added nvme-cli utility installation across all Debian versions. For Bookworm and Trixie, it features dynamic hardware validation via lsblk transport filtering and interactive, real-time SMART log viewing with an execution screen-pause.
- Created a brand new standalone module (modules/extras/dev/jellyfin.sh) to cleanly inject Jellyfin Media Server across Debian 11, 12, and 13 using its official setup script, protected by strict SHA256 checksum validations and guaranteed error-cleanup.
- Added OpenRGB to the Gaming menu for Debian 12 and 13. Implemented secure curl downloads with an emulated Chrome User-Agent to bypass Codeberg bot blocks, complete with automatic i2c-dev module configuration, user groups provisioning, and udev permission rules execution.
- Standardized menu headers across 15 separate files using a centralized readonly SCROLL_HINT=" [↑↓]" variable, replacing messy hardcoded strings with clean, uniform Whiptail instructions.
- update README.md
- Refactored `is_backports_enabled()` to dynamically detect backports using `DEBIAN_CODENAME` instead of hardcoded strings, improving script portability.
- Added support for standalone classic backports files (`/etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian-backports.list`) and deb822 format (`*.sources`) to ensure consistent detection across different repository configurations.
- Resolved Mesa and Kernel backports detection bugs, ensuring correct dialogue prompts and preventing false error messages during installation.
- Implemented smart rounding for zram memory allocation to the nearest Gigabyte for optimized performance.
- Enhanced Whiptail manual input validation for zram to block empty, non-numeric, or zero values.
- Introduced a dedicated `software_centers.sh` module for the modular and clean installation of GNOME Software and Plasma Discover.
- Added smart desktop environment detection (GTK/QT) to automatically suggest and install the optimal software center.
- Implemented a two-phase installation flow for software centers (Base Store -> Optional Flatpak support) with static consistency warnings based on the detected desktop environment.
- update README.md
- Created dedicated `extras/java.sh` module for modular Temurin/Adoptium repository handling and isolated GPG key management.
- Implemented selective JRE/JDK installation paths: Gaming (Minecraft) vs Development environments with version control selectors.
- Enhanced user group membership logic (`_ensure_sudo_group`) to auto-configure administrative privileges on fresh installs.
- Introduced maintenance-friendly passwordless sudo for `apt`, `systemctl`, and shutdown commands via `/etc/sudoers.d/`.
- Added home directory ownership repair utility to fix root-owned files in user directories after improper `sudo` usage.
- Enabled visual password feedback (`pwfeedback`) toggle for enhanced terminal usability during authentication prompts.
- Refactored Debian 13/Trixie repository sourcing logic to ensure idempotency and prevent backports/duplicate sources conflicts.
- Updated Bullseye legacy modules (extras.sh, repos.sh) to exclude deprecated packages (`hx`, `vscodium`) and enforce Firefox ESR defaults.
- Cleaned repository configurations by removing obsolete `bullseye-updates` source entries to prevent dependency conflicts.
- Implemented NVTOP conditional detection logic ensuring display only on active Nvidia drivers or supported architectures (Trixie/Bookworm).
- Corrected `/modules/bullseye/extras.sh` menu mappings (Programming, Dev Tools) and verified package lists excluding incompatible tools (`hx`, `vscodium`).
- Integrated ClamAV security module with daemon state management and background scan execution flows in all Security menus.
- update README.md
