Oddities & such

During Install:

For some bizarre reason, the following errors happen during apt update on LMDE:

N: Skipping acquire of configured file 'pbs-no-subscription/binary-i386/Packages' as repository 'http://download.proxmox.com/debian/pbs bullseye InRelease' doesn't support architecture 'i386'
N: Skipping acquire of configured file 'main/binary-i386/Packages' as repository 'http://download.proxmox.com/debian/pbs-client bullseye InRelease' doesn't support architecture 'i386'

But, apparently, they don't mean anything...

During a run:

storing login ticket failed: $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR must be set

Apparently, it's a harmless bug...
