The page I downloaded Debian from actually isn't accessible anymore:
https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/u...64/iso-hybrid/
But this one should be valid as well:
https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/u...86-netinst.iso
I don't know if Cinnamon is included in that one already. I don't really have a reason to prefer Cinnamon over anything else. From the programs I'm using I should have probably installed KDE instead, it would have saved me some effort installing programs that KDE programs rely on.

Apparently the "wobbly windows" extension makes the screen lag every few seconds, even after it was uninstalled again!
There are some applets, for example one of the CPU indicators and a current traffic monitor, that cause problems when installed. Might also be persistent after uninstallation, I don't remember anymore.
DaVinci Resolve does not run. It's only a white window. KDEnlive freezes when clicking play. In general not very many good video editors seem to work, here my softwarerecsSE question about it:

Many programs have only very old versions in Synaptic, for example OBS.
If you want the beta version of the "Dolphin" Wii emulator, I can save you quite the quest:

I tested probably every single Google Drive synchronisation program for Linux, only InSync works, but InSync works really well and is easy to set up. But it costs money.
I have not found a good mouse+keyboard recording+replaying program yet, the best so far is manually typing in the movements, keys and clicks in xdotool. Here my softwarerecsSE question:
https://softwarerecs.stackexchange.c...aying-on-linux
I have also not found a good music editing program yet, the ones I still have to test properly are Audacity, Ardour, LMMS, reaper.fm and this list: github.com/nodiscc/awesome-linuxaudio
I was so far unable to get Paint.net running, with Mono or Wine. I'm still looking for image editors, both GIMP and Krita have their issues.
A graphics card driver made Cinnamon unable to start, but I was able to just uninstall the driver again in line based mode.
I think those are the major points. The rest is just bad habits of developers, like not specifying how a program should be installed, which dependencies it needs, etc. Those often cause a lot of effort.
