Which desktop on Debian 9? Just a preferred arrangement? Write down what the arrangement is and reimplement it for yourself once you've installed 12?

Does this have any relation to the ideal method of measuring the length of a piece of string and quantifying the resultant value? MORE INFORMATION NEEDED PLEASE - I can't look over your shoulder and see exactly what you see. If you have preferred customisations, you may need to reproduce them yourself. I'm unsure of your methodology here: given the amount of change since 9.13 and the amount of updates, for myself I'd just install a clean version of Debian 12 and hae done with it.
