How to install NVIDIA drivers on Debian 11

Install a bunch of dependencies: apt install libxml2 libstdc++6 linux-headers-$(uname -r) build-essential libglu1-mesa-dev libx11-dev libxi-dev libxmu-dev freeglut3 freeglut3-dev
Reboot
Download the cuda installer https://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/570.133.07/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-570.133.07.run

Accept the license. It will fail. It did some changes before it died though such as disable noveau. Just reboot and try again.

That's it!

I want to have a local Debian mirror so my systems can run entirely off of my local network instead of needing a constant internet connection.

To get this working, I found two main packages that should support this apt-mirror and aptly.

I found apt-mirror had poor configuration and I was having extreme difficulty getting the script to run from source, so instead I opted for aptly.

How to get Aptly running on Arch Linux:

Links that helped me install Debian on a Chromebook and Things I remember needing to do:

Boot in developer mode and access the Chrome terminal https://www.tbi.univie.ac.at/~ronny/acer-cb5-311.html https://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDebianOn/HP/Chromebook%2014 https://www.howtogeek.com/210817/how-to-enable-developer-mode-on-your-chromebook/

Steps

Get the Arduino IDE (v1 because it is the best)

We want to run the v1 Arudino environment/IDE because it is the most compatible with tutorials online. If you are reading this you are probably a noob and following said tutorials.

Automatic linting + prettifying staged files

Note that this only works for NextJS projects

(needed for good eslinting) Add a .eslintrc.json file to the root of your project with the following contents:

{
  "extends": "next/core-web-vitals"
}

(optional prettier config) Add a .prettierrc file to the root of your project with the following contents:

	const fs = require("fs");
	const path = require("path");

	// Directory to search for code files
	const directoryPath = "./"; // Change this to your target directory if needed

	// Files to exclude from processing
	const excludedFiles = ["collect-files-for-ai.js"];

	// Create a new file called code-summary.md
