If you’re making scripts like this, you should have no problem with LMDE.
If you (or anyone) wants to contribute changes to that install script, feel free, I’m just working it out.
I might do so down the line. I’m not the most experienced with shell scripts, but I am knowledgable enough to fumble my way through a server maintenance script for my self hosted minecraft server.
I’ve already made changes to the script for it to work on LMDE. When I first tried it, it broke Wine and a number of other things because LMDE returns “faye” as the distro name, which doesn’t exist on any usual repository for Debian. So I had to make sure “bookworm” was used as a fallback, and reordered some things to consolidate user confirmations at the beginning so you can sit back afterward until it reboots.
Also figured out how to get and use the version number programmatically for VirtualBox toolset installs, so only one place needs editing when a new version of VBox is released.
And some other small things like installing GIMP and the plugin that gives it a Photoshop UI.
Still needs a Bluetooth handler and Firewall (for Debian), etc, still a WIP.
edit: just realized Debian already has a bluetooth handler, I missed it because i accidentally disabled sharing bluetooth devices with that VM!
Honestly, yeah…
I don’t play it very often. I only ever play it when my girlfriend and her friends rope me into it.
Honestly installing it on a VM and checking around is a huge chunk of the experience, so you’re not missing much.
Hell yeah.

Thank you again for the feedback!
