stornic56 2708d6dcb5 add retroarch, nvidia - java - internet refactor
- 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

Debianito - Post-Installation Automation for Debian

Debianito is a user-friendly post-installation automation script for Debian 11 (Bullseye), Debian 12 (Bookworm) and Debian 13 (Trixie). It streamlines system configuration, driver installation (including NVIDIA drivers with legacy support via rescue environment), repository setup with backports support, gaming tools integration, and more with an interactive menu-driven interface.
