Following these instructions nuked the OS. Installed #Debian Trixie from ISO (this makes the 12th time I've installed #Linux). I have KDE, hibernate, a recent enough kernel + software, and .deb compatibility -- hopefully I can stay here. #OpenSuSE Tumbleweed was excellent and I would have stuck with that but I couldn't install some 3rd party software because .deb is often the only choice.
