All of what you are writing here are just adding to the reasons why I don't like Debian at all. At least Ubuntu adds some firmware pre-installed on top of Debian and remove some disagreeable aspects of it. PCLinuxOS is so much better!

As soon as TDE R14.0.1 will be out, I'll build the new release of my remaster. This time it will have less clutter and a smaller ISO size.

Have a great day!
