- 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.
- System Time (NTP)*: Overhauled `modules/utils.sh`. `check_system_time()` now warns if year < 2025 and enables NTP silently if off but valid. `sync_system_time()` conditionally installs/starts `systemd-timesyncd` and verifies synchronization via `timedatectl NTPSynchronized`.
- LightDM Configuration: Added `_configure_lightdm()` to ensure the user list is visible in the greeter. Installs `lightdm-gtk-greeter-settings` and creates an override config (`99-show-users.conf`) during startup without interrupting the flow.
- Wine Installation: Simplified Wine setup in `system.sh` and Bullseye `extras.sh`. Removed i386 multiarch logic; now installs only `wine64 fonts-wine`. Added post-install version verification to confirm successful deployment.
- Lutris Dependencies: Updated `install_lutris()` in `tools.sh` and `legacy.sh`. Now conditionally adds `wine32` only if the system supports i386 architectures, preventing dependency failures on 64-bit-only setups.
- Boot Rescue Module: Created new standalone `modules/rescue.sh`. Provides UEFI boot repair tools: Secure Boot refirm (shim + GRUB) and Initramfs regeneration for all kernels. Integrated into the main menu as a dedicated rescue section.
- update docs
- Implemented global `_pause()` logic across all modules (`utils`, `gaming`, `firmware`, etc.), replacing hardcoded `read -p` calls to standardize exit pauses.
- Unified MangoHud installation into a single command (`apt install -y mangohud:i386`) for gaming and legacy branches.
- Refactored `_inst()` to return `*` instead of `(installed)`, moving the function globally to `utils.sh` and removing duplicates from helpers.
- Enhanced Broadcom WiFi detection with expanded grep patterns ('network controller', 'wireless', etc.) and ID fallback (`14e4`).
- Updated `_run_cmd` to integrate the new pause logic for consistent workflow interruptions during script execution.
- NVIDIA CUDA extrepo refactor in `modules/gpu/nvidia.sh`: removed unnecessary `i386_active` lines, updated warning to reference `v590 (unified metapackage)`, simplified installation from 18+10 versioned packages → `nvidia-driver-pinning-590 nvidia-driver firmware-nvidia-gsp`, eliminated `apt-mark hold` since pinning packages now handle it. DKMS verification and `NVIDIA_DRIVER_MODE="cuda-repo"` preserved.
- CUDA repo case fix in `modules/gaming.sh`: replaced silent bypass with detection of `nvidia-driver-libs:i386` v590 installation; if missing, prompts user confirmation before installing via active CUDA repo + pinning.
- Palemoon internet module overhaul (`modules/extras/internet/internet.sh`): removed deprecated `_enable_palemoon_repo()`, created new `install_palemoon()` with AVX2→AVX→SSE2 CPU detection from `/proc/cpuinfo`, proper `extrepo enable` call, and package installation.
- ProtonVPN module rewrite (`modules/extras/internet/internet.sh`): removed broken `_enable_protonvpn_repo()` that failed due to missing suite; created new `install_protonvpn()` using `stable` suite + `proton-vpn-gtk-app` package with proper validation.
- Java/Minecraft rename across `modules/gaming.sh` and `modules/extras/java.sh`: renamed `_install_gaming_java()` → `install_minecraft_java()`, updated menu title from "Java Runtimes for Gaming" to "Java Runtimes for Minecraft", changed whiptail tag from `"java-jre"` to `"java"`.
- RetroArch + 4 classic cores (`modules/gaming/tools.sh` and `.sh`): added RetroArch entry to gaming menu, new case handler in `gaming.sh`, updated installation command to include `libretro-mgba libretro-snes9x libretro-nestopia libretro-gambatte`, enhanced notice with emojis, core enumeration, DFSG warning, and wiki link.
- OnlyOffice server status (`modules/extras/office/office.sh`): added fallback message for slow or down OnlyOffice servers to improve user experience during installation.
- Full syntax validation: all modified files pass `bash -n` without errors; no residual references to old variables (`i386_active`, `590.48.01`) or functions remain.
- Documentation about Debian and the script is added to supplement important information.
- update README.md
- 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.
