For this installation it's best to start out with a command line version of Debian running on your PC. If you need a guide for setting up Debian command line only version, see here.

The mate desktop package provides a traditional linux desktop experience. It's simple and lightweight. It works with lightdm to support autologin.
|
| Today we'll install lightdm, mate-core, and network-manager to take our Debian operating system from a command line interface (CLI) to a graphical user interface (GUI), yay.
|
|
Just login to your Debian box and punch in the following command!
|
|
sudo apt install mate-core lightdm network-manager-gnome
|
|
Once the command completes reboot your operating system and check it out. So suave.
