Thanks for these instructions. I am switching to Debian myself and they helped me quickly get KiCAD installed again to look at board I need to solder!
However, there are quite a few bad practices in there mainly in using sudo when you don't need to (also, unlike in Ubuntu sudo isn't necessarily installed on Debian) and using /opt/ to build which should be for installed software. Is there a way I can edit this page?
