Installing Debian 12 on a laptop

I installed Debian 12 on a laptop. This was the same ThinkPad X130e on which I had installed Debian 11 nearly two years ago, but subsequently deleted. Installing Debian 12 was a lot easier. I had no trouble with the wifi. At one point the installation gave me an error during the actual software installation phase, but it offered the option to retry, which I took and then everything worked fine. Afterwards I had no trouble with my configuration process.

This was a clean install, as opposed to my Debian 12 Upgrade on a desktop system. Unlike that time, I had no trouble with the Grub configuration, and no problems with sound on FireFox ESR. Once again, a clean install proved to be smoother than an upgrade in place.
