DebPlus

A TUI installer for Debian 13 "trixie", derived from butterknife, by the Butterbian project.

Terminal-based. Deliberately simple and elegant. Boot from ISO, choose your settings and windows manager, and reboot into your configured system. System setup kept simple.

A selection of packages and window manager setups are provided for the user, as well as optional full desktop enviroments.

Users may also choose special advanced features like enabling additional apt sources, multiarch-i386, or backports out-of-the-box.
